The Other McCain

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

Where Credit Is Due

It is always better to be too generous than to risk being regarded as selfish or possessive or, Heaven forbid, thievish. While following up with people I’d met at CPAC, I had a long conversation with Stella Lohmann, who told me the sad story of the lawsuit over the “Tea Party Patriots” name. Believe it or […]

Santorum Resurgent (But Nobody Loves the Future U.S. Ambassador to Vanuatu)

After working on a long (and still unpublished) draft post this morning, I checked Memeorandum and saw these headlines: Santorum’s Turn — National Review Santorum moves ahead in Michigan — Public Policy Polling Gingrich Money Hunt Faces Obstacles — New York Times All of which stories were published after I sent my column to The […]

The Madness of David Brock

Fascinating article about Media Matters: David Brock was smoking a cigarette on the roof of his Washington, D.C. office one day in the late fall of 2010 when his assistant and two bodyguards suddenly appeared and whisked him and his colleague Eric Burns down the stairs. Brock, the head of the liberal nonprofit Media Matters […]

Good to Be Back Home

It was cold here in the hills of western Maryland last night and it would be insanely expensive to keep the house comfortably warm with electric space heaters. Therefore we snuggled up: Me, my wife and our two youngest children slept four in a bed. We woke up to find that the number had been […]

OK, what happened: Fox News posted a story on its Web […]

CPAC: Too Much Fun to Describe

WASHINGTON, D.C. As is well-known, I have difficulty with the concept of “schedules,” and I’m now scheduled for a meeting with Herman Cain in half an hour. The house WiFi at the Marriott Wardman Park is suck-tastic, which makes it difficult to upload video and photos. However, I have been able to get a few […]

CPAC 2012: Extremely Controversial!

Grover Norquist (right) interviewed on WMAL radio by Brian Wilson and Mary Katharine Ham WASHINGTON, D.C. It is inevitable: Every year, left-wingers find something on the CPAC agenda that they can “expose” as controversial, so as to suggest that the entire conference is irredeemably tainted through this guilt-by-association method: Following speeches from Senate Minority Leader […]
