The Other McCain

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

The W-Word: Fringe Journalism Is Fun!

Yes, the W is for “Weigel,” which term seems to have become as offensive (or boring) to some readers as “epistemic closure” or even “Elena Kagan Sex Tape” — the latter being a sort of satire of Rule 5, for which Marty Eisenstadt disclaims any responsibility. Summer is a great time for blog-fights because traffic always goes down during the summer anyway, […]

My Question To Terry Jones Was Featured On ‘Front Page With Allen Barton’

by Smitty My highly important question was addressed starting at 10:10. PJTV continues its gradual world conquest. Related, via Insty: Time to shut down the US Federal Reserve? When someone says, as Evans-Pritchard quotes, and I gently VodkaPundit-ize. . . “Economics is hahrd. Really hahrd. You just won’t believe how vastly hugely mind-boggingly hahrd it […]

Insulted Again

By Dan Riehl this time, seconding Melissa Clouthier’s “wild animal” characterization of journalists as inherently untrustworthy. At least he links me. Love me, hate me, as long as you link me. Here’s the thing: Media bias is a subject about which every conservative is his or her own expert. To denounce “the media,” whole hog, is obligatory for […]

Andrew Breitbart, Genius

Hmmmm. Why is he publishing David Weigel’s explanation? Rep. Ron Paul (R, Tex.) knew that I liked him, and that I was voting for him — although that didn’t stop me from co-writing a story about the history of racist comments in newsletters he published. Bob Barr knew that I liked him, and trusted me […]

A. Charles Johnson

Q. What’s more boring than soccer? We might assume, arguendo, that regular readers have been following The Other McCain’s relentless mockery of the 2010 World Cup. However, for those who may have joined the mockery in progress and missed the set-up for this particular running gag, let’s recall how liberals have portrayed American contempt for […]

Hit Jeff’s Tip-Jar!

Jeff Goldstein’s father just died, requiring him to fly cross-country on short notice for the funeral: I feel ashamed to ask, but any donations you can make at this time would really really help my family out. And would of course replace any kind of July fundraiser. Pro-capitalist bloggers should never be “ashamed to ask.” […]

McCain Sell Out? Who Knew There Was A Market?

by Smitty Dan Riehl accuses Stacy of selling out on the Weigel situation: Of course, if Stacy defends one faux-conservative, another would praise him. And why not? He’s probably angling for Weigel’s slot. That’s how the game is played down here. Look, Dan, I can’t pretend to know the exact quid required to tempt Stacy […]

‘Human Sacrifice! Dogs and Cats Living Together! Mass Hysteria!’

Inspired by a Tweet from Conor Friedersdorf. When he agrees with me, this could be a sign that the Apocalypse is upon us. UPDATE: Maybe this whole thing is part of a secret conspiracy to destroy my right-wing grassroots street cred? Yeah. I’m totally screwed. Now I’m forced to admit that David Frum is actually making […]
