The Other McCain

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

Troll-ism

Someone is using Twitter-bots to attack conservative blogs: Enoch and company have had to rebuild this blog because a nasty script was superimposed here, and the likelihood that it was an accident is much diminished by its also having been foisted on our old blog, POWIP. On Twitter, there’s a rash of direct messages telling […]

Jeff Goldstein Isn’t Ready to Don His Saffron Robe and Chant, ‘Hare Mitt-nu’

“Mother, do not wonder that my loyalty is growing weak. . . . I am sick and tired of the disaster and the fools that bring disaster upon us.” — letter from a soldier in the 79th New York Infantry, 1863 Seedubya today was cracking cynical jests on Twitter, whence I derived the headline joke. Speaking […]

Little Green Sheep: A Telling Update

Nothing is more predictable than the herd instinct. Despite their insistence that they make up their own minds, many people are in fact, as psychologists say, highly suggestible, and subject to peer pressure, so that if any trend becomes dominant within the particular herd with which they identify, the average person follows the trend without […]

When Liberals Tell the Truth

It’s usually not pretty. Tim Graham at Newbusters catches a DKos diarist telling the truth about what liberals think of babies: “Sasharusha” blogs “back to the whole fetus= parasite thing. That is how I see them. I don’t see them as cute and cuddly. I see them as terrifying and scary. I see pregnancy the […]

‘It’s Only Ever an Issue If …’

“. . . the politician is Republican,” says Jim Hoft, speaking in particular of polygamy, but you could apply it to many “scandals.” John Kennedy’s father was arguably pro-Hitler in the 1930s, but you don’t hear much about that, do you? Bobby Kennedy authorized J. Edgar Hoover’s wiretaps of Martin Luther King Jr., another subject […]

Go Ahead, Blame Me

Ed Morrissey informs us that Tina Korbe is leaving Hot Air to take a job at the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, and I’m sure some people will find some way to say this is somehow my fault. As I explained in February when people were screaming for my scalp: I’ve always liked Tina, had often linked […]

Drip, Drip, Drip: ‘Mormon Mitt’ Meme Keeps Popping Up in Mainstream Media

OK, maybe it’s stretching the definition of “mainstream” to include the Daily Beast and MSNBC, but the predicted eruptions of the “Mormon Mitt” meme keep occurring with increasing frequency. Notice how Newsweek/Daily Beast reporter Ben Jacobs hands a cue to Montana’s Democrat Gov. Brian Schweitzer: While discussing swing states, Schweitzer said Romney would have a […]

Roxanne Doesn’t Have To Turn On The Red Lights. She Does Anyway; Dad Didn’t Teach Her Otherwise

by Smitty No, I don’t mean Roxeanne de Luca specifically. Or prostitution in the Secret Service sense.
