The Other McCain

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

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 […]

‘The Written Word Is Forever’

Do you remember this headline? Dede Goes Down Upstate That story was filed from the Carriage House Inn in Watertown, N.Y. Ali Akbar, Kerry Picket of the Washington Times and Dave Weigel (then with the Washington Independent) were all blogging in the same hotel room where I was trying to hit deadline for the American Spectator with my 793-word […]

Weigel to the Atlantic?

Donald Douglas on Twitter asked me if I knew whether David Weigel had gotten a new job. As I mentioned earlier, Dave told me he had received three or four offers, but he didn’t say who had made the offers, and I didn’t ask. But then I saw this Hot Air Green Room post by Karl: Andrew […]

WEIGEL RESIGNS

This is not good news for conservatives, no matter how much you hate Dave Weigel. UPDATE: In an e-mail to several bloggers last night, I observed: [O]nce the WaPo axed Ben Domenech, it was more than four years before they again tried a “conservative” blog. As someone who is BCC’d said to me on the […]
