The Other McCain

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

Podhoretz ‘Evolves’ on Gay Marriage; Editorial Insubordination, Not So Much

Donald Douglas calls to our attention an interesting internecine quarrel at Commentary, where their freelance literary critic David Myers has been terminated because of a dispute that Myers claims was about gay marriage, but which the magazine’s editor John Podhoretz says was in fact about acts of insubordination by Myers: What I did not like, and what I […]

Alfonzo Rachel’s Important Rant

by Smitty I like Herman Cain, and this is a great argument. Given that Gloria Allred delivered the final, crushing blow to the Cain campaign, one is tempted to speculate whether somebody on the Left wasn’t agreeing with Alfonzo Rachel’s thesis. Via Mike Cornelison

O’Neill: “All Politics Is Local”

by Smitty That is due to a lack of useful division between local, state, and national politics.

Bizarre Statistical Improbabilities

What are the odds that two players in the same hand of Texas Hold ‘Em will both have outstanding hands — four of a kind or a straight flush? The odds against this are high enough that casinos offer so-called “Bad Beat” jackpots to be paid out in such rare instances. If there were such […]
