The Other McCain

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

Narcissism, Isolation and Trolls

“The 19th-century cult of success . . . measured achievement not against the achievements of others but against  an abstract ideal of discipline and self-denial. At the turn of the century, however, preachments on success began to stress the will to win. The bureaucratization of the corporate career changed the conditions of self-advancement; ambitious young […]

Elsewhere on the Blogosphere

Jimmie Bise calls this process “clearing the browser tabs.” Just some things I saw in the past day or so and wanted to link: “Indefatigable bl0g goddess” Pat Austin enjoys her revenge. Jay Haug at American Thinker: “Liberal Excuses for Conservative Victory,” including that timeless evergreen, “We didn’t get our message out!” An interesting profile of […]

Bikinis. Kettlecorn. Shakespeare.

Dan Collins has video of some chicks in bikinis reading Shakespeare while eating Kettlecorn. Yeah, you’re going to click that link. You’re going to feel guilty about clicking it, but you’ll click it.

How Gay Is the WikiLeaker?

So if this “Dave” character tries to tell you any crazy stories about a long-haired dopehead guitar-banging rock-and-roller he knew in college, don’t believe […]

And Let Me Add, ‘Roll, Tide!’

Bemoaning the likelihood that Republicans will win their current battle with Democrats over extending the Bush tax cuts, progressive blogger David Kurtz reaches for an interesting analogy: It reminds me of the line attributed to the old football coach Bum Phillips, speaking about the legendary Alabama coach Paul “Bear” Bryant: “He can take his’n and […]

‘Roman Polanski Has a Rival as the World’s Most Notorious Fugitive Pervert’

That was a friend’s reaction on Twitter to the news that Interpol has issued a warrant for Julian Assange on sex-crimes charges: The WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, is tonight facing growing legal problems around the world, with the US announcing that it was investigating whether he had violated its espionage laws.
