The Other McCain

A Disservice To 9/11 Victims And Andrew Roman

by Smitty Andrew Roman, as he reports at Proof Positive, tried to do something noble to memorialize the heinous butchery of 9/11: . . .while I was fortunate enough not to experience any personal loss on that terrible Tuesday morning, as an American, I was deeply and profoundly affected by the attack on my country […]

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: […]

Great Post, Sanity Inspector, But What About Slavery?

by Smitty The Sanity Inspector captures an excellent thought regarding sectarian relations in the United States, emphasis mine: Something is coalescing, taking root, something which may have repercussions centuries on down the road. Americans are a kind, forbearing, humble, welcoming people, lefties’ incessant accusations otherwise notwithstanding. I have never had a negative personal experience with […]

I call this Orwellian language use the Progressive Inverted Tongue, and I doubt not from which PIT it emerges. Two fine examples came through […]

Thank You, Desert Renegade

Sitting here near midnight, I was feeling bummed out — lower than a snake’s belly — over this: Friday afternoon Mrs. Other McCain said, “Oh, Jim just called — you need to go pick up the part for the car.” This required a trip across town to a machine shop, where my 17-year-old son had […]

Advice For The Rational Man

by Smitty How do I know that the World’s Only Rational Man is my junior? Look at him applying a logical methodology to a matter of political history. Of course FDR didn’t mean anything like the scientific method when he set about tinkering with the US Constitution and economy. Any superficial appearance of such was […]

I Remember That Flick

by Smitty Power Line points to possibly self-referential research showing that Americans are stupid, based upon doubts about elected leadership. The astroturf seems to work as follows: . . .Egan thinks Republicans are dumb. But let’s take a closer look. His 46 percent is an unpublished number from a Time magazine survey that is described […]
