The Other McCain

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

How Early Is Too Early To Warn Your Son About Those Girls? The Third Trimester?

by Smitty National Offend A Feminist Week is the time that we celebrate all things good, lasting, and traditional, at the expense of the occasional harpy. This year’s celebration finds me especially exultant, as I have convinced my wife that my heritage is worth preserving in the human gene pool, in that most pre-historic, patriarchal […]

Obligatory Osama Post

by Smitty Expressed in image form, I’m weighing in somewhere around here: One suspects that this is The Real Deal. The political cost of Type II error, which would come in the form of a valid “Neener, neener, neener” tape from bin Laden, would be in the catastrophic range. This is good news, obviously. Let […]

Obamas Birth Certificate As A Distractor?

by Smitty There is a new site called Trending Right that could only be improved if it mentioned The Other McCain. Despite this minor omission, it points to items like this IBD Editorial about the EPA flexing its PEA brain.

Forty-odd years on, I’m realizing that life is not Star Wars. Starting off a few episodes in might be good for dramatic tension, […]

A Jimmy Carter Apology

by Smitty I am sorry, country, for the fact that my school produced Jimmy Carter. At least I no longer have to apologize for him calling himself a Baptist.

George Soros: Forget About Adam Smith; My Invisible Pimp Hand Is Strong

by Smitty (via George Scoville) Via the BlogCon email list, Scoville pointed to a George Soros column Politico. First, it’s a brief article.
