The Other McCain

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

‘Democrat Ethics’

You seldom see those two words in the same sentence, except when a Democrat is convicted of ethics violations or — as occasionally happens — pleads guilty to felonies. The Democratic Party is the most successful criminal organization in American history, and the amazing thing is that they haven’t yet stolen everything that’s not nailed down. […]

Why Don’t We Just Go Ahead and Nuke Those Vicious Communist Bastards?

When you write headlines like that, you don’t expect any offers of “senior fellowships” at leading think tanks or book offers from prestigious New York publishers, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a valid policy proposal. I woke up this morning and checked the Drudge headlines:   NKOREA: ‘Powerful striking means’ on standby… WATCHCON 2: […]

Dog Bites Man; Man Rapes Girl: Journalism and Other Crimes

Just a couple of innocent victims of homophobic bigotry? There is a basic rule of journalism — a rule that has nothing to do with politics whatsoever — that if a dog bites a man, that’s not news. News is when a man bites a dog. That is to say, newsworthy events are by definition […]

Senate Slouching Toward Compromise

is there anything more disgusting than a Republican senator in bipartisan compromise mode? Bloomberg’s anti-gun group starts running ads in Pennsylvania and Pat Toomey folds like a cheap suit. Say the magic words: Bipartisan compromise! Senators struck a bipartisan deal Wednesday to expand background checks in gun transactions, inflaming the National Rifle Association while drawing support from […]

Formerly Relevant Celebrity News

You know how there are some people who seem really important or popular for a while, and then their 15 minutes of fame expires? And then, in a desperate bid to recapture their former glory, they engage in some kind of cheap publicity stunt? “Pay attention to me!” Whoa! How did I miss THIS?@meghanmccain and […]

‘It’s Really Astonishing. It’s Just a Deliberate Lie From Start to Finish.’

So says Ace of Spades about the way the New York Times re-writes the history of the Anthony Weiner cybersex scandal. In a just world, Jonathan Van Meter of the New York Times — and every editor who signed off on this thoroughly dishonest article — would be fired, and effectively blackballed from the industry like Jason Blair […]

President Finally Unites Americans: Everybody Hates Obama’s Budget

Let’s start with the most obvious signal of unity: If President Obama has lost a liberal like Taylor Marsh . . . President Obama is daring the right to blow this chance [to reach a deficit[-reduction deal]. Unfortunately, the game of chicken the President is playing with people’s only avenue to stay out of poverty […]

Shout-Out to My Home-Girls

They’re not yet in Evan Sayet’s league — but who is? Still, it’s nice to see Gabby Hoffman and Liz Thatcher getting their book thing happening. You should buy it. So I’m like, “Yo, what up?” And they’re like, “Dude. Wrote a book.” amazon.com/gp/product/B00… And I’m like, “Cool.”@gabby_hoffman @lizthatch — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) April […]
