The Other McCain

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

Old and Busted: Sippin’ Slurpees
New and Hot: Corporate Jets

When President Obama accused Republicans of wanting to “compromise your kids’ safety so some corporate-jet owner can get a tax break,” Lachlan Markay of the Heritage Foundation pointed out that Obama’s massive 2009 stimulus included tax breaks for — wait for it — corporate jet owners. So the president was condemning Republicans for supporting his […]

New York Times to Herman Cain: ‘Hey, You’re Kind of Black, Aren’t You?’

They sent a reporter to interview Herman Cain during the Right Online conference, and the first four questions in the interview are about race. Not like they’re obsessed or anything. Meanwhile, here’s the last video from the Cain campaign: HERMAN CAIN for PRESIDENT Because The New York Times Would Go Nuts

Jeff Bezos Is John Galt

Following up on California’s blunderheaded Internet sales tax — motivated by “typically short-sighted, money-grubbing desperation,” says the Orange County Register — I found this video in which Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos explained why this tax is not merely idiotic, but unconstitutional: What it is, really, is an attempt by state governments to impose a tariff […]

Self-Proclaimed Pagan Rob Taylor Lectures Conservatives on Morality?

In January, I took note of Rob Taylor’s post calling for conservatives to “outreach” to the . . . er, Pagan community: “As a Pagan I can tell you that I, like many others, strongly support economic freedom, limited government, a strong nationals defense and law and order.

Amazon Goes Galt, Cuts Off California to Avoid Internet Tax in Zimbabwe, U.S.A.

It was in February 2009 that I first compared the situation in California to Mugabe’s bankrupt kleptocracy. And the situation is only getting worse: Gov. Jerry Brown has signed into law California’s tax on Internet sales through affiliate advertising which will immediately cut small-business website revenue 20% to 30%, experts say. The bill, AB 28X, […]

Labor Unions Kill Jobs. Period.

Sean Higgins of Investors Business Daily reports: The business world is abuzz over the National Labor Relations Board’s complaint vs. Boeing’s new South Carolina production line. For NLRB critics, the case boils down to one thing: “right-to-work” laws. Right-to-work states have generally lower unemployment, higher job growth, lower taxes and better business climates. They have […]

Mark Halperin Apologizes for Being Right

President Obama’s press conference performance Wednesday caused me to declare that there was no prospect for bipartisan cooperation. This morning on MSNBC, it caused Time magazine’s Mark Halperin to be even more blunt: “Do we have a seven-second delay? I want to characterize how I thought the president behaved. . . . I thought he was […]

Kinder, Küche, Kirche

Perhaps I should leave this one to Smitty — Frau Smitty ist Deutsch — but our gallant hero is probably too busy saving the world from Taliban terrorists to notice that the New York Times has decided that Germany is insufficiently feminist: [W]hen it comes to empowering women, no Teutonic drive or deference seems to work […]
