The Other McCain

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

Sestak’s Goon Squad

Democrat Joe Sestak’s campaign security staff harasses a cameraman in Pennsylvania: Moe Lane says: This is precisely why YOU ALWAYS WORK IN TEAMS OF AT LEAST TWO. One person films – actively – the event; the other person films – passively, and hopefully unnoticed – the person filming the event. That way you remove ambiguity. […]

Happy Birthday to Me

Thanks for all the well wishes, and especially to those who hit the tip jar. Lots of love from the “Happy Birthdays” on my Facebook page from friends. Utter indifference toward my work  from people in positions of influence. When Christine O’Donnell came to D.C. to meet with John Cornyn, the campaign gave the story to […]

The Trouble With Experts

People who covet the reputation of experts, who write books telling other people how to live their lives, will never admit they were wrong. And this is especially true of political experts, whose misguided prognostications never seem to diminish their reputed expertise. Fortunately, David Weigel has called to task some of the people who proclaimed that Rush Was Wrong. […]

CNN Parker-Spitzer Anti-Palin Hour

OK, so Monday they brought on Aaron Sorkin to call Sarah Palin names and Tuesday it was Oliver Stone’s turn: As Larry O’Connor at BreitbartTV says, this seems to be a nightly feature: “Let’s get some famous Hollywood lefty on the show to badmouth Palin, because that’s what CNN’s dwindling audience of people stuck in airport […]

New York Times: When Democrats Lose, We’ll Always Blame the Stupid Voters

Allen West to Obama: ‘Heck, I’ll Even Debate You and Klein Together’

When Florida Democrat Ron Klein’s campaign announced that the incumbent would bring in President Obama and Nancy Pelosi for a big-money Oct. 11 fundraiser, his 22nd District challenger Allen West declared, “Welcome to the jungle.” Now the Republican has formalized that invitation in a new 30-second TV spot: Welcome to South Florida Mr. President. You and Ron Klein should leave […]

Richard Cohen: ‘I Have to Repress a Tear’

It was November 1997 and I’d just been hired as an assistant national editor at the Washington Times. My wife dropped me off at the Shady Grove Metro station for my first day on the job. On my way to the train, I bought a copy of the Washington Post from the paper box, to […]

Because Today Is My Birthday . . .

. . . I’m up for suggestions on how it should be celebrated. My own suggestion is that you should hit the tip jar, of course. I’m hoping to go to Delaware on Thursday to cover Al Franken’s campaign appearance for Baldy the Tax-Hiking Wanker.  Also, I’d like to go to Richmond for the Virginia […]
