The Other McCain

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

Editorial Assist For Mizzou Prostesters

by Smitty In an ironic development, to say the least, protesters at the University of Missouri (MU) segregated themselves by race Wednesday night, having white students leave a gathering in order to create a “black-only healing space.” If you re-arrange it to “Only Healing Black Space” the resulting acronym is “OH BS“. Someday, after the […]

Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge

by Smitty The motor had once been electric, mounted on the beam atop two poles. It still drove the fan blade that kept Her Majesty and the People Who Mattered comfortable in the sultry summer. The drive belt that went through the center of the wooden poles was the same old rubber friction affair, only […]

My godless Commie neighbors here in NOVA haven’t completely sodomized the Dominion. A little shout out to Greasy Terry: Heard pouring forth from the Virginia Governor's Mansion https://t.co/P0cKjI2njN @instapundit […]
