The Other McCain

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

Rep. Ciro Rodriguez (D-Texas): ‘Don’t Accuse Me of Not Saying the Truth!’

Remember when Democrats declared “dissent was the highest form of patriotism”? Somebody forgot to explain to Ciro that dissenting about health care statistics is also patriotic: (Via Big Government, Breitbart TV and Memeorandum.) UPDATE: Dan Riehl has another video clip illustrating Rodriguez’s anger issues.

Talk Radio Host Punks Abortion Clinic

In order to drown out pro-life “sidewalk counselors” outside, the owner of  Northern Illinois Women’s Center in Rockford was blaring WNTA-AM 1330 through loudspeakers. Kathleen Gilbert tells the rest of the story: D.J. Doug McDuff’s scheduled talk show guest cancelled, and he opened the phone lines for comment. Seeing his chance, Rockford pro-life veteran Kevin Rilott whipped out his […]

Experts to Obama: ‘Hey, Maybe You Should Call It Islamic Extremism’

Because, you know, that’s what it is: The Obama administration’s recent move to drop rhetorical references to Islamic radicalism is drawing fire in a new report warning the decision ignores the role religion can play in motivating terrorists. Several prominent counterterror experts are challenging the administration’s shift in its recently unveiled National Security Strategy, saying […]

Roman Polanski Freed By Switzerland

Because Europeans are “sophisticated” like that: Switzerland said on Monday it would not send Roman Polanski back to the United States to face sentencing for unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977, freeing the Oscar-winning director from 10 months arrest. Swiss Justice Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf said she had decided against extradition because of potential […]

Rachel Maddow and the Politics of Stupid

Why hasn’t the American public completely repudiated the policies of the Obama administration? At a time when the unemployment rate has been hovering near 10 percent for nearly a year, Obama’s job approval numbers are very near dead even, and Republicans are just barely leading on the generic ballot. Why isn’t the administration’s abject failure on economic issues more […]

Who Commits Crime?

When I was about 15, I read Helter Skelter, prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi’s account of the Manson Family and the Tate-LaBianca murders. One fact that struck me was that Manson was, for most of his life, a small-time hoodlum who compiled a record for relatively minor crimes like burglary, car theft and foregery long before he became notorious as […]

No Valid Criticism Is Possible

Ace of Spades noticed this convenient rationalization: During the interview Wednesday, when confronted with the anxiety that some Israelis feel toward him, Obama said that “some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion.” Maybe that also explains why 55% of voters say Obama is a socialist. […]

Wedding Day

My 21-year-old daughter, Kennedy Catherine McCain, is getting married at 10 a.m. today to Martin, which means that my attempts to bribe the couple into eloping have failed. When I saw this headline, I misunderstood for a second and thought the judge had ruled weddings unconstitutional but . . . Several months ago, I remember being told that this […]
