The Other McCain

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

Genesis 12:3

“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee . . .” Disagreements about foreign policy are one thing. Jew-hating is something else. When someone says, “Zionists not welcome,” watch out. Da Tech Guy informs us that some unpleasantness has developed among counter-jihad bloggers, requiring me to say: I’m with […]

Michele Bachmann Boogies!

Will this cost her the Baptist vote? Shane Vander Hart has more of Bachmann’s Des Moines Tea Party rally. I hadn’t realized, or perhaps didn’t remember, that Shane lives in Iowa. (Note to self: Apply for sofa-crashing privileges.)

The 7 Millionth Hit Approaches

The SiteMeter total this morning was nearing 6,990,000 visits, meaning that we are now within 10,000 hits of the 7-million mark. As we are currently averaging more than 8,000 hits a day, we should cross this traffic threshold tomorrow, the 4th of July, which seems entirely appropriate.

Meanwhile, reviewing Reckless Endangerment at Barron’s, Gene Epstein writes: It starts at the beginning — in 1991, when Jim Johnson, a political operative and former top aide to Sen. Walter Mondale, took over as Fannie […]

Why Doesn’t Obama Come Right Out and Say, ‘Democrats Want to Raise Taxes’?

Watch It, Cuz!

My cousin, LaGrange (Ga.) News columnist Pepper Ellis Hagebak, is telling tales again: My own favorite family nut is still with us. When we were growing up, he was always into something.
