The Other McCain

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

Jonah Goldberg, in Fine Form

Worked up into a long-overdue rant: Tom Friedman — who knows a bit about Hezbollah — calls the tea partiers the “Hezbollah faction” of the GOP bent on taking the country on a “suicide mission.” All over the place, conservative Republicans are “hostage takers” and “terrorists,” “terrorists” and “traitors.” They want to “end life as […]

Give An Over-Reaching Government A Sales Tax: What Could Go Wrong?

by Smitty Ace toys with the notion of a national sales tax. Let’s put it like this. Once upon a time, a certain uncle had too much crap. He had houses, boats, cars, furniture, businesses, sweethearts, the works. Managing all the crap was a significant burden, with all of the insurance, maintenance, travel time, licensing, […]

An Obama Lexicon

For those who are not yet fluent in Obama-ese: compromise – (1) verb – [when applied to Republicans] to surrender; (2) verb – [when applied to Democrats] to pretend to negotiate lead – verb – to provide a plan plan – (1) noun – teleprompted platitudes unencumbered by specific goals or means of execution; (2) […]

Jimmie Bise, Sax Machine At Large

And this was the month when we cleared the 7-million mark. So thanks to faithful sidekick Smitty — and also Smitty’s wife, who brought forth baby Niklas this month, […]

Lubricating the Debt-Ceiling Deal

The negotiations continue in Washington. It’s OK with Harry Reid and one liberal sees it as an “unprecedented political victory” for the GOP. Ri-iiiiiight. That Mr. G Guy offers a suggestion for how conservatives can make their end of the bargain slightly less painful. However, he misses a lucrative opportunity to monetize this occasion. Perhaps […]

Dan Riehl Doesn’t Want Any Gold Stars From Teacher for ‘Plays Well With Others’

When in Doubt, Hot Chicks on Video

A reliable formula for driving Web traffic? Yeah. It helps when one of the chicks is Dana Loesch, interviewed at the Smart Girl Summit by Alex “Muy Caliente” Garcia: (Via Instapundit.) For you guys who can’t get enough Dana Loesch — which is to say, all of you — Nice Deb has video of Dana […]
