The Other McCain

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

The Corrosive Evil Of Political Correctness

by Smitty We all profess hatred of this evil, and then proceed to support it, passively or actively. We’re silent in the face of PC, because going active against it is also unattractive behavior. But *why* is it so evil? People are fallible, and in need of correction. Nothing new there. Let me put forth […]

Sheppard’s Long Night’s Journey

by Smitty The Information Age has lowered barriers to entry across the board. One is truly grateful for the breadth of people met in the last decade. By hanging out with Stacy McCain, I got to go to CPAC, and be in the right place to meet Andrew Breitbart. That led to being in the […]

Friday Fiction: 100+ Word Challenge Christmas Edition

by Smitty Six points gird the star glowing, supernatural above, as the dusk bathes now the field. A mystic symbol of love, and to Three Wise Men showing, the power of God to yield a means as mild as a dove; that the world be reconciled to His justice from falling to sin when serpent […]

The Wages of #FakeNews?

by Smitty I find it difficult to believe that respectable news publications would buy stories. WaPo paid the women to smear Moore. pic.twitter.com/4Xy2RPT22X — L Butler (@LauraButler6) November 11, 2017 No, wait: I don’t find it difficult at all.

Twice in my life I’ve had allegations levelled at […]

#NeverTrump: Double-Secret Head Fake?

by Smitty Taking in the NRO’s latest ritual Trump denunciation: Trump’s substitution of sneering for analysis, his shallow anti-“elitism,” his attacks on free trade and on freedom of the press, his adolescent social-media habit: Republicans have not rallied behind him in spite of these things, but because of them. . . .one is inclined to […]

Ode to Harvey

by Smitty Harvey “Albert” Weinstein A “Moral Relativity” Theory held: Our universe could stay so fine, As long as he rosy smelled. Yet gravity his hubris sucked. Cash could no longer “unsee” it. From his lofty height it plucked. To Europe he was forced to flee it. He’s a Unified Frackhead Theory Of hypocrisy, power, […]

Nation-Building President Ain’t Got Time For Backstabbery

by Smitty Jazz Shaw over at HotAir is off the mark, methinks, with: “In three tweets, Trump undoes all the gains he made during Irma and Harvey” Trump is showing loyalty to FEMA and military responders who are doing optimal work. If you want them to work above “adequate”, you don’t let your peoples’ efforts […]
