The Other McCain

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

Greetings From Myrtle Beach

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. We were somewhere between Nakina, N.C., and the South Carolina border, cruising south on Highway 905 at 70 mph when I hit the brakes. My 13-year-old son Jefferson, who had been trying to sleep in the passenger seat of the rented Toyota Corolla, sat up suddenly. “What? What is it?” “Deer,” I […]

Romney Leads by 21 Points in S.C.?

Carolina RINOs? Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has opened a wide lead over his rivals in the South Carolina primary election race, trouncing Newt Gingrich and gaining momentum in his march toward the party’s nomination, a Reuters/Ipsos poll shows. . . .

A Note On Raaaaacism

Next, Newt Gingrich Will Probably Mail Order a Pair of Acme Rocket Skates

Like Wile E. Coyote trying to catch the Roadrunner, Newt’s Bain attack on Mitt Romney has backfired, actually increasing Mitt’s popularity with conservatives. Everybody will tune in for Monday night’s Fox News debate waiting to see if an anvil falls on Newt’s head. (Hat-tip: Instapundit.)

The Duke

by Smitty Slightly rough language here. This sounds like excerpts from a larger interview. Does anyone know the context?

Guess I Might Be Joining Drach

by Smitty Who must also be a Virginian. I thought that Perry’s lawsuit was a trifle *cough*Progressive*cough* in its general character, for all more primary ballot choice would be welcome. What a crazy. . .train. I mean, crazy like some pre-pubescent Japanese kid rocking out with Ozzy crazy:
