The Other McCain

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

‘Responsible, Ethical Journalism’

Thanks to Maggie’s Farm for reminding us of this brilliant May 4 prediction about the Times Square car bomb from law professor Timothy Stoltzfus Jost: I think the politics of this incident will turn heavily on who is found to be responsible. If, as seems unlikely, the bomb is linked to South Asian or Middle […]

So, How’s That Whole Party-Switching Thing Working Out for You, Mr. Specter?

“Specter will be less useful to the Democrats now than he ever was when he had an ‘R’ beside his name.” — Robert Stacy McCain, April 28, 2009 Arlen Specter’s belief that he would be welcomed warmly by Democrats was never realistic. Liberals had cheered him every time when, as a Republican, he plunged his […]

Elena Kagan’s Bold, Refreshing, Courageous Heterosexuality

Y’know, when you have to get your friends to leak it, as if divulging a dirty little secret . . . Elena Kagan is not a lesbian, one of her best friends told POLITICO Tuesday night, responding to persistent rumors and innuendo about the Supreme Court nominee’s personal life. “I’ve known her for most of her […]

Liz Carter Comes to Washington, D.C.

What an amazing coincidence that I just happened to run into the Georgia 4th District congressional candidate: The Democratic incumbent, Hank Johnson, is notorious for having said that overpopulation could cause the island of Guam to tip over and capsize. He’s also been ineffective in representing the suburban Atlanta district. Liz Carter was endorsed last […]

Shoot the Dirty Anarchist Scum!

That’s what I kept shouting at my computer screen while watching this video of the 1999 WTO riots, the notorious “Battle in Seattle”: Seattle is No. 7 on the “10 Worst Riots in American History” list — which includes video of Chicago cops cracking the skulls of hippie peaceniks at the 1968 Democratic National Convention.

Clan Cameron Triumphs

David Cameron just became Prime Minister of Great Britain, a Tory triumph that we conservatives here on the far side of the pond can cheerfully celebrate. Here’s hoping that the new PM will so scourge Labour — and that the island realm united under his leadership shall so vanquish Britain’s every foe — as to make men recall […]

From the Lone Star to Wasilla, With Love: The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You!

Sarah Palin was featured in the Mother’s Day edition of USA Weekend, which included this photo of Piper Palin on a rocking horse: This morning, I received an e-mail from Allen Nieschwietz of the Brenham (Texas) Banner-Press, who asked if I could help him verify a bit of local news. Mr. Nieschwietz said that a Brenham resident had seen the […]

The Fiercely Independent Partisan Hackmanship of Ezra Klein

At some point, “progressive” becomes just another synonym for “whatever Democrats want”: Greece . . . is a bailout Republicans can finally be against. TARP, after all, was proposed by the Bush administration and attracted a substantial number of Republican votes in Congress. Not so with Greece. . . . Ezra Klein goes on from […]
