The Other McCain

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

Southern, Conservative, American

Yid With Lid points to a Gallup survey showing that conservatives (89%) are more proud to be American than are liberals (76%). Interestingly, the poll also shows that Southerners (89%) are more proud of their country than people in the Northeast (81%). Hell, yes. Freedom. ‘Murka.

‘Authentic Frontier Gibberish’

The best comedy ever made? That’s a tough call, but if it’s not Animal House, then surely it must be Mel Brooks’ Blazing Saddles — and not just because I first saw it as a 15-year-old with my dope buddies Mike and Dave after we’d toked up some fine Colombian gold bud. Even without the […]

FLASHBACK: Breitbart to Blumenthal: ‘You’re a Despicable Human Being’

Following up on the Mona Eltahawy meltdown, Donald Douglas is celebrating the 4th of July fireworks and I promised I’d dig up video of Andrew Breitbart’s epic shaming of Max Blumenthal at CPAC.

From West Virginia To Wroclaw

A Career Opportunity My Guidance Counselor Never Bothered to Mention

It could have been an awesome career: Deputy McCain, Texas Vagina Inspector http://t.co/jjdNKf8LOK — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) July 4, 2013 Who was ever more qualified for this job than me? If I had only known there was a need for courageous public servants to perform body-cavity searches on bikini-clad women, certainly I would have […]
