The Other McCain

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

How to Lose $56 Million a Year

Hire Jon Meacham as editor of your magazine: The auction of Newsweek looks to be heading to some sort of ending. Final bids for the troubled weekly are expected by 5 pm Thursday at investment bank Allen & Co., according to the New York Post. There are five parties in the running, including Newsmax Media, OpenGate Capital, […]

Subversive Newspaper Columnist

No, not Paul Krugman or Dave Weigel. I’m talking about Vicky Pelaez, a columnist for the Spanish-language El Diario for more than 20 years, who was among the suspected Russian agents rounded up by the FBI yesterday. Patrick Ishmael at Hot Air Green Room: Dig around the Internet and you’ll find a few choice nuggets written by […]

Recommended Reading From Top Hayekian Public Intellectuals

Since being named a “Top Hayekian Public Intellectual” in April 2009 — we have a secret handshake and meet in a treehouse behind Thomas Sowell’s garage — I’ve striven to uphold the honor of the Nobel Prize-winning Austrian School economist. A devotion to “spontaneous order” means that admission to our ranks is open to all, […]

Witness for the Prosecution
