The Other McCain

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

‘Get Money,” R.I.P.

Timothy James Jefferson of Dallas began getting tattoos before he was old enough to drive legally, but he was not exactly a stickler for legality. Among the tattoos he got while still a minor — a ninth-grader at Oak Cliff High School — was the word “get” on one arm and the word “money” on […]

‘Team Joe’ Sends Me E-Mail

Many years ago, when I was covering Hillary Clinton’s doomed 2008 Democratic primary campaign, I clicked a link saying I would attend one of her appearances in Pennsylvania, and ever since then, my email address has been passed around to every other Democratic campaign, which is why this morning, I received this message: As a […]

‘Dangerously Out of Touch’: ABC Interview Doesn’t Quell Dump-Biden Talk

The vultures are now circling overhead above the decaying carcass of Joe Biden’s reelection campaign. The damage done by the June 27 debate cannot be repaired or wished away. The number of House Democrats calling for Biden to step aside as the party’s nominee has now increased to five, with Minnesota Rep. Rep. Angie Craig […]

Thinking of Christmas in July

Does it occur to you that, instead of celebrating the Fourth of July, when the Declaration of Independence was published, that instead we should celebrate our independence on the Nineteenth of October?

“The ‘cabal’ that bragged of foisting Joe Biden on us must answer for his failed presidency,” Glenn Reynolds wrote in December 2021. Nearly everyone now seems to agree about the “failed presidency” part of that headline, but is it too late to examine the nature of that “cabal”? William Doyle at The Federalist has a […]

When You’ve Lost Nate Silver …

What? A Democrat telling “obvious lies that nobody but the dumbest partisans will buy”? You mean it’s a day ending in “-y”? My friend Stephen Green is reveling in schadenfreude over Silver’s latest election forecast, which is developing a trendline in exactly one direction — from bad to worse for “Sundown Joe,” showing “Biden with […]

In Defense of Cynicism

“The cynics aren’t always right. But that’s the way to bet,” Professor Glenn Reynolds says, in regard to a young journalist’s belated discovery that an infamous “hate crime” was not what he’d been told.
