The Other McCain

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

Boston Postcards

BOSTON — Some photos of the stuff I’ve been covering yesterday and today: You might recognize the guy with the camera. So what’s Ladd Ehlinger Jr. doing in Boston? OK, I can’t tell you exactly what Ladd’s doing here, but in this photo he is talking to Kiera and in maybe a week you’ll know what this is all […]

Axis Of Fedora’s Relentless Blogoversal Onslaught

by Smitty UPDATE: Not sure how to read Belvedere’s cluebats, except to say that I understood the photo he sent was not for publication.  Instead, let me link Pat, who is doubtless more attractive in any case. Da Tech Guy’s infectious headwear calling could not be resisted, and Pat in Shreveport has fallen prey thereto. […]

She Already Fled Communism Twice, and Now Clara Csiong Sees It Coming Again

When we were at the 9/12 rally, Da Tech Guy came up to the backstage area and said, “Stacy, you’ve got to come meet this woman I just interviewed. She’s amazing.” Smitty and I were busy trying to upload photos and video, so I couldn’t get there, but the video of Da Tech Guy’s interview […]

This Is Not a Scandal!

Newsreal contributor Susannah Fleetwood attended BlogCon, where she was kind enough to pose with  sidekick Smitty: Earlier today, Smitty highlighted Mrs. Fleetwood’s latest column and, in an e-mail thanking us for the linkage, she mentioned remembering that someone had taken a photo like this. However, concerned that perhaps Frau Smith might share Mrs. Other McCain’s (unjustified) suspicion that […]

Respond to such accusations by publishing deranged rants against Jews. Get into hateful public pissing matches with Ace of […]

DaTechGuy Double Dose

by Smitty This blog and DaTechGuy form something of a mutual admiration society. Besides being a thoroughgoing gentleman, he also was also kind enough to opine on Erik Erickson and Matt Kibbe, who opened the BlogCon thoughtful remarks. Erickson had offered an anecdote about a decent neighbor who had been neighborly until discovering that Erik […]

Oddly Satisfied-Looking Jackalope Spotted In Reagan Airport Vicinity

by Smitty Also, DaTechGuy loses some fresh cannoli. Coincidence? Abso-tively not!

One-Way Flight to Anchorage

That’s right — I booked my flight this morning, and Mrs. Other McCain has already packed my suitcase, so I’ll be in Alaska for Tuesday’s absentee-ballot count. Frankly, I was planning to go later, but got an e-mail Sunday from a source who suggested I didn’t want to miss the action Tuesday and so I did something crazy: […]
