The Other McCain

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

Death by Political Correctness?

“Everyone must come to grips with and make sense of their own failures. Excuse-making, blame-shifting, scapegoating — ‘It wasn’t my fault!’ — prevents us from learning the lessons of our failures. . . . Persistently attempting to externalize blame for our own failures is a recipe for moral disaster.” — Robert Stacy McCain, “Lindsay Lohan […]

Ta-Nehisi Coates and the Sloppiest Argument for Gay Marriage, Evah!

“Nationalism is, for good or ill, at my core. Thus I see the fight for marriage rights not as a fight for a squishy, gauzy ‘tolerance,’ but as a fight  for gay self-determination. . . . Thus gay marriage is, to me, not about relieving homophobes of their burdensome ignorance but about the right of gays to defend themselves […]

Social Science Isn’t Scientific

“Unlike physics or biology, the social sciences have not demonstrated the capacity to produce a substantial body of useful, nonobvious, and reliable predictive rules about what they study — that is, human social behavior, including the impact of proposed government programs.” — Jim Manzi, “What Social Science Does — and Doesn’t — Know,” City Journal

Raise Fareed Zakaria’s Taxes!

I agree with that part of his argument, although his argument for raising everybody else’s taxes by repealing the Bush tax cuts is kinda lame.

They’ll Never Steal a Chevy Volt

Car thieves aren’t doing their share to save the planet: The Cadillac Escalade, a big luxury sport-utility vehicle, once the favorite of rappers and moguls alike, remains tops for average insurance theft losses, according to the insurance industry’s Highway Loss Data Institute report out today. Other automotive eye candy, such as the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, […]

Jon Meacham’s $1 Legacy

One dollar — that was the reported selling price of Newsweek, following Meacham’s disastrously pretentious “re-invention” of the magazine. Let’s see if we can figure out why that didn’t work: To cite one obvious example: newsweeklies annually marked Christian holidays with a cover story on a religious theme, always respectful and sometimes celebratory in tone. […]

When Maxine Waters Needed Ethics Advice, She Turned to Barney Frank

Maybe you see the problem here: US Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts urged Representative Maxine Waters of California to avoid any dealings with Boston-based OneUnited Bank because her husband owned stock in it.
