The Other McCain

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

Stupid Is Seven Feet Tall

Yes, I’m talking about Troglopundit: In 1988, I voted for Sen. Paul Simon (D-Illinois) in the Democrats’ presidential primary. There are still a lot of dumb people in Wisconsin. But it was much worse before Sean Hackbarth moved to Washington, D.C.

Dying on Deadline: Fear, Loathing and a Frank Confession of Professional Failure

Barbara Espinosa of American Freedom called Sunday evening, wanting to take out an ad for her “Hair on Fire” radio show on KFNX 1100-AM in Phoenix. She sent me the graphic, and when I saw it my thought was: Great. A two-column square. Because I don’t have a two-column space anywhere on the sidebars, nor do […]

How to Be the Best Dad Ever

It’s not nearly as hard as you might think. This afternoon a friend asked me to blog about some urgent political news, to which request I replied: “Remind me to talk to you some time when I’m not in a black pit of depression.”

From the Undeceived to the Rube: My Second Notice of Your Previous Insult

It’s come to this: Not content to insult our intelligence by claiming that her vote for Obama in 2008 was a “rational choice,” now Ann Althouse has sown discord between Smitty and me, distracting me from important issues — there has been another royal upskirt incident that regular readers would normally expect me to cover in comprehensive detail […]

Re-Explaining the Amazon Thing (Or, Is Your Husband Reading The Right Blog?)

When I’d mentioned earlier that someone bought a $199.99 piece of jewelry via my Amazon Associates link — thereby earning me an $8 commission — some of the commenters seemed not to understand how it works.

Ann Althouse: Rube

“[Obama] really is a solid, normal person who remained grounded in the middle of all this craziness. And I like to think that, now that he’s President, with his steely nerve, his intelligence, and his groundedness, he’ll do the job that must be done. The trickery is over.” — Ann Althouse, Jan. 22, 2009 “The […]

Now That She Has Finally Turned 16, It’s Legal for Her to Get Married in Nevada

Unlike Courtney Stodden, however, there are no creepy 51-year-old Hollywood types trying to get jiggy with 16-year-old Mycah Emerson. She’s not a singer or actress, and I doubt she could get parental permission for marriage. However, Russ Emerson says he’s planning to take Mycah to the DMV to get her driver’s license. What could possibly […]

To the Reader Who Bought the 1/8 Carat Gold and Diamond Heart Pendant

Honestly, it never would have occurred to me to buy a $199.99 piece of jewelry via an Amazon link from my favorite blogger, but at least one “magnificent bastard” did, and thereby accomplished two purposes: Made his wife, fiancé, girlfriend or mistress very happy; and Contributed $8 toward supporting this blog, for which I’m probably even happier than […]
