The Other McCain

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

Who Is Brent Budowsky, and Why Should Anybody Care What He Thinks?

To answer the first question, Budowsky is a former Democratic Capitol Hill aide, but I don’t know that there is any valid answer to the second question, as Budowsky slags Matt Drudge in The Hill: Let me suggest here that Drudge’s power may turn out to be more of a curse than a blessing for […]

Obama’s New Low

He’s heading toward the dreaded Carter Zone: President Obama’s overall job approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 44 percent, down five points from late March, just before the health bill’s passage in the House of Representatives. It’s down 24 points since his all-time high last April. Forty-one percent of those polled said […]

Obama Talks Jobs, While Unemployment Stays at 9.7 Percent

As if merely talking about jobs were the same as doing something about the unemployment problem: It’s the first Friday of the month, and you know what that means — a new jobs report.

Jesse James Enters Rehab, Seeking Treatment for Skank Addiction

VIDEO: Dan Quayle’s Son Inadvertantly Makes the Case for Vernon Parker

Neil Cavuto gives Ben Quayle a few minutes on Fox, and the kid manages only to lock up the clueless slacker vote:

John Cornyn and the Eunuch Anacephalic ‘Leadership’ of the Republican Party

Drew M. at Ace of Spades says John Cornyn is “starting to go wobbly,” which involves the wholly unwarranted assumption that Cornyn was ever steady to begin with. It was Cornyn who, by giving the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s endorsement to Charlie Crist — 15 months before the Florida GOP primary — sparked the Not […]

So Much for That ‘Rising Risk’

Eugene Robinson’s fear — or should I say, hope? — of a “serious threat of domestic terrorism . . . from the far right” turns out to be far-fetched: There’s a lot of anger out there. But the alleged plot by Midwestern militants and violent outbursts by scattered individuals don’t signal any coming wave of […]
