The Other McCain

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

Because I Know What’s News

“Has there ever been more manufactured and phony hype about a certifiable non-issue than so-called WeinerGate?” — John Guardiano, “Weinergate: What’s the Big Deal?” Frum Forum Few things annoy me more than having my news judgment questioned. Disagree on policy or doubt me on politics — we might argue, but such arguments do not call […]

This Just In: Obamanomics Sucks

Are folks on Wall Street finally figuring out what the folks on Main Street have known for two years? U.S. stocks fell Friday to cap their first five-week losing streak since July 2004, as a dismal jobs report added to the drumbeat of investor concerns about a slowing economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell […]

Wow! Strange Plot Twists in #WeinerGate’s Third Act

A sentence you won’t see me write very often: Tommy Christopher has done some excellent reporting. Tommy’s story about @PatriotUSA and a 16-year-old girl who (falsely) claimed her friend was involved in Twitter “sexting” with Rep. Anthony Weiner is an absolute must-read. (BTW, Mediaite has posted Tommy’s story as five different pages, without a “single page view” or […]

And, yeah, I’ve got a new WeinerGate column up at The […]

Finally, Weiner Calls the Police!

No, he didn’t ask the cops to start an investigation of the insidious hackers who stole his crotch-photo and Tweeted it to a 21-year-old. But when a reporter for WCBS-TV in New York started asking questions . . . Weiner’s Office Calls The Police After CBS 2’s Marcia Kramer Asks For An Interview As you […]

#WeinerGate: Who Is @PatriotUSA76? @AndrewBreitbart Wants to Know

Much suspicion in the WeinerGate scandal has focused on the Twitter user @PatriotUSA76, who identifies himself as Dan Wolfe, but who is unwilling publicly to confront questions about his role. It was @PatriotUSA76 who, some weeks ago, specifically predicted an online sex scandal involving Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), and then quickly spotted the Friday photo-Tweet […]

Mrs. Other McCain Is Sick

Which is the worst news in the world for our family, because Mrs. Other McCain always takes care of everybody else in the family — including me — so when she gets sick, I feel completely helpless. I don’t think it’s anything serious. It’s apparently an inner-ear problem, like vertigo, affecting her balance and making […]
