Bad Memories of Bayshore Boulevard

(Left to right) Natalie Khawam, Gen. David Petraeus, Dr. Scott Kelley, Jill Kelley and Holly Petraeus at a party in Tampa. It was August and a hurricane was hovering off the Florida coast that Monday afternoon in Tampa when I set out to find Jim Antle. The senior editor of The American Spectator had my […]

If You Were Saying to Yourself, ‘This Petraeus Scandal Isn’t Crazy Enough …’

You’re going to love this news: Jill Kelley — whose report of threatening e-mails led to revelations of Gen. David Petraeus’s affair with Paula Broadwell — has a “psychologically unstable” twin sister. And when the sister needed a reference in her child custody case, Petraeus provided it: The four-star general’s letter to the court — written […]

Capitalization and Heteronormativity?

There’s probably no connection. On the other hand, maybe my insistence on proper spelling, punctuation and grammar — even in such informal contexts as Twitter and text-messaging — is evidence of a traditionalist predisposition. And then there is the transgressive stance: met anderson cooper and his boyfriend ben at the madonna concert – they r […]

Mary-Kate Olsen’s French Boyfriend

Say hello to Olivier Sarkozy, half-brother of former French president Nicolas Sarkozy and managing director of the Carlyle Group’s global financial services division. He’s 42 and Mary-Kate is 26, so they’re both adults but . . . Well, there’s just something very wrong with this picture, isn’t there? This photo of the two lovebirds publicly […]

Petraeus’s memoirs: “Dear Penthouse Forum …” minx.cc/?post=334883 — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) November 13, 2012 The CIA chief, his West Point-educated girlfriend, an FBI agent, the “social liaison” at McDill AFB, the top general in Afghanistan — they’re all as freewheeling and frisky as college juniors on Spring Break in Cabo. Gabriel Malor at AOSHQ […]

Let’s Blame Crowder

I mean, why not? Instead of this finger-pointing and blame-gaming and circular firing squad, let’s just grab hold of some random schmoe and make him the designated scapegoat for all our despair, rage, envy and frustration. Stephen Crowder is the new Emmanuel Goldstein!

When You’re Down to Your Last $4 Million, Hallucinogens May Seem Fun

Anti-virus software pioneer John McAfee once had what is colloquially known as “f–k you money,” but suffered a reversal of fortune: John McAfee, an entrepreneur who founded the antivirus software company that bears his name, is now worth about $4 million, from a peak of more than $100 million. Mr. McAfee will soon auction off […]

Ace of Spades: Eric Holder Is Obviously Lying About the Petraeus Affair

The logic is impeccable: Holder’s FBI discovers the CIA chief is dangerously compromised and doesn’t tell the President? Bovine excrement! Therefore, the alternative hypothesis that Holder was negligent in not telling the President is merely an interesting counterfactual along the lines of, “What if Lee’s army had AK-47s at Gettysburg?” We know Holder is lying.
