The Other McCain

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

Reinhold Neibuhr Was a Subversive Pinko (and Other Conservative Insights)

One of the more amusing tendencies of certain “conservative intellectuals” — the scare-quotes are necessaary, if you know the type of people I have in mind — is their habit of name-checking famous (dead) conservatives in pursuit of arguments about the unworthiness of famous (living) conservatives. Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter will say something that […]

Evan Bayh Announces Retirement

He was seen as a leading vice-presidential contender for the Democrats in 2008, but Joe Biden got that job, and now Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh has announced he won’t seek re-election. Philip Klein at the American Spectator writes: This is further indication that moderate Democrats running in red states are eager to jump ship in what they expect […]

Quin Hillyer Argues the Alabama Governor’s Race IN ALL CAPS!

On Friday I began my American Spectator column this way: Tim James was Tea Party before Tea Party was cool. Before the federal bailouts, before most Americans had heard of Barack Obama, before Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck became household names, James helped lead the 2003 effort to stop a tax increase proposed by Alabama’s […]

Is Goldman Sachs Too Big to Fail?
Is Kevin Smith Too Fat to Fly?

Is the Clerks filmmaker too fat to fly? Southwest Airlines says so. I’m interested only because some people say Ace of Spades vaguely resembles “Silent Bob.” Not that Ace is fat or anything, but certainly Drew M. could stand to lose a few pounds, and maybe this news is kind of a warning. Watch those carbs, Ace. On the other […]

‘Almost Never’ Is Once Too Often

Happily, they almost never engage in killing sprees.” — James Joyner, Outside the Beltway UPDATE: The plot thickens: The professor who is accused of killing three colleagues at the University of Alabama on Friday was a suspect in the attempted mail bombing of […]

‘Trust Us, We’re Experts!’

Another triumph of expertise: The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information. Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually […]

Attention, Ugly Women: You Do Not
Have the Right to a Job as a Stripper

You might not need to be told this. Obviously, being a stripper is one of those jobs — like NASCAR driver — where good looks are very important. Most ugly women understand this concept, and therefore seek careers as tenured university professors, a field where looks are inconsequential. However, vocational guidance counselors forgot to explain […]

Bloggers Cause Danica Patrick Wreck at Daytona; Bikini Photos Survive Accident

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Danica Patrick’s bikini photos were uninjured after a 12-car accident ended this weekend’s Daytona International Speedway NASCAR debut for the pinup hottie known as “The Anna Kournikova of Auto Racing.” Patrick was in 21st place when she was caught in a four-way Rule 5 blog pileup involving Lance Burri, Donald Douglas, Bob […]
