The Other McCain

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

Consulting the Legal Department

My previous observation that no one could be sued for libel for merely describing the self-evident fact of Bill Schmalfeldt’s derangment drew a mildly critical e-mail from a lawyer friend: Not to be a pedant, but the reason it’s not defamatory is that it’s a statement of opinion based on disclosed facts, and therefore not […]

Ed Markey’s ‘Legitimate Rape’ Moment?

Washington Free Beacon: Rep. Ed Markey (D., Mass.), who is running to replace recently appointed Secretary of State John Kerry in the Senate, compared the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision to the 1858 decision to uphold slavery, according to BuzzFeed.

Weird Headline of the Day

Your 14-Year-Old Daughter Is Probably A Child Pornographer Yeah, that got your attention in a hurry, didn’t it? It’s “Advice Goddess” Amy Alkon’s reaction to a report from Massachusetts about a prosecutor who is fed up with teenagers using cellphones to send each other naughty pictures of themselves: “When they start sharing photos like this, we are […]

Austin Gates Is a Victim of Abuse, Homophobia, and a Really Bad Haircut
