The Other McCain

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

About 9 a.m. today, we passed the 5-million mark, riding the wave of last night’s Instalanche. Our joy at this achievement is tempered by the knowledge that loyal sidekick Smitty will soon be deployed to an Undisclosed Location, where Uncle Sam has decided that his astonishing powers of IT geekery are required to intimidate the […]

Gonzo, Vindicated

Maetenloch at AOSHQ linked this list of the Best Magazine Articles Ever, and I noticed that Hunter S. Thompson was named twice in the top 10, for “The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved” (where Thompson first displayed his famous “Gonzo” style) and “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” (originally syndicated in Rolling Stone). Actually, we ought […]

Maddow: ‘Those Nickels and Dimes’

OK, everybody and his third cousin — Hot Air, Red State, Weasel Zippers, Verum Serum, Newsbusters — has already posted this Johnny Dollar video, but even though I’m late to the party, I’ll gladly join the dogpile: Johnny Dollar put a lot of work into this thorough fisking of Rachel Maddow, so it’s extra-good. And you know what […]

Lefty Logic: Think Progress Is Now Trying to Blame Republicans for (Alleged) Rape by Rakheem Bolton, or Something

Would somebody please tell these a–holes that the election is over and they can shelve the “Republicans are pro-rape” propaganda until the DCCC starts cranking out attack ads around Labor Day 2012? You can read the whole story at the San Francisco Chronicle — San Francisco is a helluva long way from Silsbee, Texas, I hasten to […]

MSNBC-OMFG: Keith Olbermann Humiliates Network Executives

According to this report, not only did Olbermann refuse to apologize for violating NBC’s rules forbidding political contributions by news personnel, but he demanded that the network apologize to him. Bernie Sanders (CPUSA-Vt.) is threatening to block the Comcast-NBC merger over the issue. Professor William Jacobson suggests Olbermann should name MSNBC president Phil Griffin “Worst Person […]

Michelle Malkin Unloads Both Barrels on Gerson, Rove and the GOP Establishment

It’s kind of hard to paraphrase, so please go read the whole thing. She’s just a natural-born hell-raiser. Going back to the 2006 fight over the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill, Malkin has always sided with the grassroots against the establishment. She opposed the whole neo-Keynesian stimulus-and-bailout agenda from the very get-go, back in early 2008, before anybody […]

It’s On: White Democrat Steny Hoyer Trying to Oppress a Victimized Minority

The victimized minority in this case being House Democrats: House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) is intensifying his push to capture the No. 2 post in the reshaped Democratic hierarchy, claiming new momentum in his clash with Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.). “Hoyer is going to win,” a source close to the majority leader told The Hill […]

‘Sexism’ in the Sexualized Society

In 1981, KMBC-TV removed Christine Craft from her position as a news anchor, after a focus group rated her poorly, saying that the 37-year-old newswoman was “too old.” Craft filed a sexual-discrimination suit against the Kansas City ABC affiliate under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and such lawsuits have since become rather common: […]
