The Other McCain

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

National Review Institute Summit: Will This Controversial Event Make Headlines?

My decision yesterday to kick Jonah Goldberg in the knee promises to yield enormous dividends both ways. Goldberg has denounced my criticisms as “preening b.s.,” and he’s vowed to fire back at length later today, so I look forward to a (no doubt well-deserved) ass-chewing.

The Country’s Going Straight to Hell, But at Least We’ve Got a ‘Likeable’ President

Random adults: [M]ore than seven in 10 are dissatisfied with the current state of the economy, and just more than a third are either “very” or “fairly” confident in Obama’s ability to promote a strong and growing economy. And 60 percent believe the coming year will be a time to hold back and save because […]

#LennayKekuaFacts: What You Don’t Know About Manti Te’o’s Fake Girlfriend

The problem, really, is that Republicans just don’t hate Democrats the way Democrats hate Republicans. Most Republicans are born and […]

Crisis in Algeria: More ‘Arab Spring’ Consequences; U.S. Hostages Seized

Our operatives are incompetent and we live in a dream world.” — Rob Long of National Review, in an interview with Joe Hagan of New York magazine during a Caribbean cruise in November Has National Review, an institution founded in opposition to liberalism, become part of the […]

Dear Texas: Please Secede Now

That’s my spontaneous reaction to the declaration of corrupt New York Democrat Charles Rangel about the gun control issue: New York is different and more progressive than a lot of areas in other states, and some of the Southern areas have cultures that we have to overcome.
