The Other McCain

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

Tea Party vs. GOP

by Smitty I find myself mostly agreeing with this analysis in Canada Free Press: The Tea Party is like a young boxer with great skills and a knockout punch, but with skinny legs: a seemingly unstoppable force in the early rounds, if a wily opponent can just survive his initial dynamism, it will be possible […]

Rick Santorum On Greta

by Smitty Rick Santorum appeared “On the Record” last night. What an excellent outing! You can chalk it up to friendly media all you like, but Santorum seems both prepared and pleasant; American, even. The interview alluded to this retro video: which is a breath of fresh air. Rick’s Iowa ground game sounds like he’s […]
