The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

‘Win Just One For The Zimmer’

by Smitty I can’t embed the latest Day by Day effectively, but Muir does a great job of alluding to Airplane! Well worth your time. Here is the reference:

Chicken Isn’t Sufficiently Plucked Already (CISPA)

by Smitty Slashdot links RT, saying that after all the SOPA/PIPA kerfuffle, the Really Smart Folks in Congress have another variation on the theme: H.R. 3523, a piece of legislation dubbed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (or CISPA for short), has been created under the guise of being a necessary implement in America’s […]

Rich Lowry’s Editorial Impotence?

When you look at the photo album of Washington DC charter schools, they may not fit the Chicago narrative. Nor, in fact, does the funding news. But its not the reality of […]

Use ‘Derbyshire’ as a Verb

It’s an interesting word-game concept, eh? For years, I’ve advocated the overthrow of the decadent Rich Lowry regime at National Review, hoping that Jonah Goldberg might lead the coup. So my main interest in this remarkable controversy is whether or not it serves to undermine Lowryism. What you might not notice is that this is a […]
