The Other McCain

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

Will Althouse Praise ‘His Steely Nerve, His Intelligence, and His Groundedness’?

“In a 75-minute meeting Sunday night, President Obama once again demanded that more than $1 trillion in tax increases be part of any deficit reduction package attached to a vote on the debt ceiling. In the session, Obama rejected a Republican proposal to seek $2.5 trillion in spending cuts and reforms, and insisted on higher […]

‘Coulter, She’s Just a Show Person’

So says notorious scoundrel David Brooks (skip to 4:23): The last time I saw Brooks at an event where he had been invited to speak, I quietly walked out of the room, hoping no one noticed the pulsing veins in my neck and forehead as I struggled to resist a sudden urge to charge the […]

How to Be the Best Dad Ever

It’s not nearly as hard as you might think. This afternoon a friend asked me to blog about some urgent political news, to which request I replied: “Remind me to talk to you some time when I’m not in a black pit of depression.”

From the Undeceived to the Rube: My Second Notice of Your Previous Insult

Look, here’s the wonderful Amazon “carousel” widget: Amazon.com Widgets This is a selection of products I’ve picked out — […]

Now THAT Is What I Call a ‘Finale’

“[Obama] really is a solid, normal person who remained grounded in the middle of all this craziness. And I like to think that, now that he’s President, with his steely nerve, his intelligence, and his groundedness, he’ll do the job that must be done.
