The Other McCain

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

Charlie Crist: Is He Or Is He Ain’t?

Crist’s political orientation is currently more ambiguous than Elena Kagan’s sexuality, and the soon-to-be-former Republican governor of Florida is being rather coy about his much-rumored independent run for Senate: “I’m being very thoughtful and deliberate,” Crist explains. “I’ve got a big decision to make. I haven’t concluded anything yet, but I’m getting a lot of counsel, […]

How Gay Is Elena Kagan?

Gayer than the annual convention of the K.D.
