The Other McCain

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

Perry Boomlet Already Fading?

In a comment on my own post Aug. 9, I wrote: There have been a few little things . . . that lead me to think Perry is a lot less certain ultimately to win the nomination than some people seem to think. What I fear will happen is that Perry will spend several months […]

A Mom Named Stacy

Names are curious things. Sometimes I have to explain what should be obvious, that the name of this blog is “The Other McCain” because I did not support my distant cousin John’s candidacy in the 2008 GOP primary campaign. (Don’t Blame Me, I Voted for Bob Barr!) And when people ask, “Should I call you Bob? Rob? […]

Matt Lewis Says You’re a Stooge

“Spend some time on Twitter and it becomes obvious that there are some (not all) grassroots conservatives who blindly adhere to whatever a handful of politicians, cable news pundits, and talk radio hosts, say — and punish those who dare object.” — Matt Lewis, “Examining the new conservative schism,” The Daily Caller

The Avoidance of Responsibility: Liberals Exculpate Themselves for Obama’s Failure

Because the only alternative is to reduce the catering bill: U.S. Justice Department agencies spent too much for food at conferences, in one case serving $16 muffins and in another dishing out beef Wellington appetizers that cost $7.32 per serving, an […]

The Irony of Tucker Carlson, Sarah Palin, Mike Tyson, Greta Van Susteren and … Me
