The Other McCain

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

An Apparent Misunderstanding

Some people are evidently as stupid as Tommy Christopher, and must have things explained to them like school children. For the record: My post Thursday afternoon, published 17 hours after HuffPo claimed there was a meeting Wednesday on Capitol Hill, was a strenuous denial that any such meeting ever took place; anyone who thought it […]

Arianna’s Power Scaled Back at AOL?

Remember when AOL bought Huffington Post — for a “bazillion dollars,” as Joe Coscarelli says — and everybody’s first question was, “On what planet does this deal make basic business sense?” Here you had the erstwhile America Online, which had made big bucks back in the original 1990s Internet boom, when dial-up modems were still the deal, […]

Dreams of My Ghostwriter’s Ex: Did Bill Ayers Use Dead Weather Underground Terrorist Diana Oughton as Model for Obama’s ‘Composite’ Girlfriend?

“I’ve read Obama’s books, and they are first-rate. He is that rara avis, the politician who writes his own books.” — Christopher Buckley, Oct. 10, 2008 In 2008, conservative journalist Jack Cashill presented evidence that Barack Obama’s bestselling 1995 memoir Dreams From My Father had been written with the assistance of Bill Ayers, the former […]

Not #ReadyToGo? New Hashtag Doesn’t Fill Ohio Arena for Obama Campaign

The Obama campaign, after watching its previous Twitter slogans swiftly hijacked by Republicans, rolled out #ReadyToGo for its official kickoff rally in Columbus, Ohio: Speaking at his first official campaign rally six months and a day before Election Day, a fiery and combative Obama, his sleeves rolled up, touted a “forward-looking America” while taking a series […]

Creepiest News of the Day (So Far)

It’s not yet 6 p.m. ET, so I suppose something weirder might still come along, but so far? Yeah, this is definitely it: Bill Johnson, a former Alabama gubernatorial candidate, has left his wife and family in Prattville to be with babies he secretly conceived as a sperm donor in New Zealand. Johnson’s wife, Kathy Hale […]

Bill Maher: ‘Hey, Y’Know Something? Mitt Romney’s a Rich Mormon, Isn’t He?’

Isn’t this just about the kind of “humor” you’d expect from the pustulent syphilitic chancre on America’s cable-TV sphincter? “Donating your money to help repair this kid’s cleft palate, or to feed these hungry people, that’s charity. Giving money so Brice and Spencer can spend two years in Namibia spreading nonsense about celestial marriage and […]

Boreal Supremacy: Bruce Bartlett’s Tendentious History of Partisanship

Years ago, when I was living in Georgia, I coined the term boreal supremacy to describe the attitude of certain people that all things Northern were superior to all things Southern. That attitude has offended me ever since the 1970s, when Yankees started flooding into my native Atlanta, where the municipal motto might as well be, […]

Your Mother Is Really Going to Love That Zenithink C91 Tablet From Amazon

Look, I keep recommending jewelry as a Mother’s Day gift, but every time I check the Amazon Associates sales report, I find out we’ve sold some other high-end gizmo. Last week, it was a $300 lawn mower and a $500 laser printer. This week, it’s a 10.2-inch Zenithink C91 Android tablet for which somebody paid […]
