The Other McCain

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

Charles Johnson Uses Twitter to Push ‘Racist’ Smear of Red State’s Josh Trevino

Joshua Trevino is a Texan, former Bush administration official and Republican political consultant. In 2004, he co-founded Red State along with Ben Domenech and Mike Krempasky. A couple of days ago, Trevino was named among the “Top 25 Conservatives on Twitter.” And it was just about then that Trevino and his colleagues began kicking around a Twitter meme, “I’ve […]

A. +/- Umpteen Eleventy

Q. What was the statistical margin of error on DailyKos polls for the past two years? Markos Moulitsas of Daily Kos has sued his polling company, Research 2000 (R2K, for short), alleging that the firm supplied “fraudulent” data. Daily Kos has produced a report that seems to indicate R2K was just making up numbers. I say “seems […]

‘Now Imagine If Hunter S. Thompson Was On Twitter . . .’

@rsmccain — Robert Stacy McCain has aptly been described as “the conservative Hunter S. Thompson.” Now imagine if Hunter Thompson was on Twitter! — Matt Lewis, “The Top 25 Conservatives on Twitter” About time I got this kind of recognition, considering that we’re now just three weeks away from the 2010 Right Online Conference in […]

A. Because It’s Funny

Q. Why are you running this silly picture of Elena Kagan in a Nazi uniform? Somewhat more seriously, Jeff Sessions says he’s “disappointed” with Kagan’s answers during this week’s hearings: Watch CBS News Videos Online Orrin Hatch just came out as a “no” vote: Hatch said Friday that a Supreme Court nominee needs “both legal […]

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.

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?

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.
