The Other McCain

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

Killgore Trout Beclowns Himself

Dave Weigel of the Washington Post contacted me seeking a denial of an assertion by one of Charles Johnson’s LGF henchmorons that I was the anonymous “Tea Party consultant” who wrote the Playboy article: “I’m almost certain it’s him. He’s making up a lot of the details and probably exaggerating his influence . . .” Fool. […]

In Praise of Populist Rowdiness

T.L. Davis employed a fine phrase, “The Soft Treason of Civility,” to describe what he sees as a problem with mainstream conservatism: Upon my happy travels I have run into a few frustrating and annoying examples of intellectual cowardice. These are so-called conservative blogs and/or radio shows so terrified of being perceived as anything other than calm, […]

Cordoba Mosque Epiphany

by Smitty (h/t iOwnTheWorld) Opposing the 9/11 Mosque is, in some ways, the modern equivalent of the Siege of Vienna. Pamela mentions another gathering on Friday, 10 September, at the start of the clip. Make it bigger than the last protest. Weakness is an open invitation.

Reminder to Self: Never Publish a List of Cool Bloggers You Want to Flatter by Putting Them on a List of Cool Bloggers

Yeah, I might temporarily boost my traffic because every blogger on the list could be expected to link a post describing how cool they are. The downside: People on the list would wonder if I’m just sucking up to them, and would thenceforth suspect my sincerity; and I’d earn a permanent place on the s–t list of every […]

How Not to Succeed

Why did Culture 11 go under, while Big Hollywood prospered? Simple: the latter was able to tap into a populist vein, while the former […]

Will Fabius Maximus Offer A Thorough Analysis?

by Smitty Fabius puts up a post, “Will people on the right help cut Federal spending?“, that could have as easily been entitled “Will Lopping The Heads Off Of Dandelions Improve The Lawn?” Fabius, the debt and deficit we face are rooted in the Federal government undertaking non-Federal tasks. Realizing that chronic deficit spending is […]

Not Wanting To Take On The Big Fur Hat Here. . .

by Smitty BFH at iOwnTheWorld says: Everyone, by now, has heard that Representative Joe Barton, from Texas, apologized to BP’s Tony Hayward for the “shakedown” they received from the Obama administration. Geez. Talk about a tin ear. Barton, everyone but BP and their family wants BP to pay for the clean up, so, you lost […]

They Deserve Each Other: Olbermann and Daily Kos Break Up to Make Up?

There have been more than a few outbreaks of raw crazy on the blogosphere lately, and it’s reassuring to see that the same virus has infested the brackish waters at Daily Kos, where Keith Olbermann asks, “Et tu, Kossacks?” I used to read a lot about how people here would ‘always have my back’ and trust me this […]
