The Other McCain

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

‘Every Campaign Needs to Have a Sicilian Guy in a Fedora’ — Roxeanne De Luca

That’s what she said when I called her during my latest trip to PA-12, where Tim Burns is barely two weeks away from the May 18 special election for Jack Murtha’s old House seat. Definitely a job for Da Tech Guy, especially since he’s now covering the Boston Tea Party beat.  Lots of Tea Party volunteers […]

Fred Thompson Notices The Dots

by Smitty Fred Thompson notices that health care policy, Wall Street policy, immigration policy, and energy policy all seem to have substantial events happening kind of close. No mention of Toyota and the auto industry takeover. Fred falls short of connecting those dots in any way. Paul Krugman and the hapless TrogloPundit (separated at birth?) […]

Right Network Has Solid Gold Righteous Ideas

by Smitty (h/t Ace) We have to see if this can help refute Dan Riehl’s recent handwringing, but I think that Right Network could have a profound impact on the midterm election: The preview strikes a personal chord. As with these candidates, there is a feeling that I have to blog. My motives differ strongly […]

Charlie Crist And The Backpack Of Conservative Principles

by Smitty Dan Riehl reports that Charlie has been kicked to the curb by the NRSC website. Cheech and Chong do a fine rendition of a Crist figure trying to convince a webmaster that he’s packin’ the gear. More from Cassie: Heh: Charlie Crist’s flip-flop makes John Kerry look like the Rock of Gibraltar. And. […]

‘Obama Derangement Syndrome’ Symptoms Include Ironic Flashbacks

People who live in deranged houses should not throw crazy stones, as Tim Blair shatters Charles Johnson’s delusions of normalcy: Born-again leftoid Charles Johnson denounces the “tidal wave of right wing nuttiness directed at Barack Obama”. Fair enough, in several cases; that birther obsession, for one, is downright crazy. But it’s a little rich for flippy Charlie to […]

Pink Elephant Pundit Requests The Attention Of Keith Olbermann

by Smitty Here is the evidence: In light of GeicoGate and the recent accusations from the media regarding the violent rhetoric of the conservative movement, I’ve taken the liberty of editing together the voicemails and emails we’ve received as a result of DC Douglas’ call to contact FreedomWorks. Here’s the result. I listened to about […]

Troubling News From Fitchburg, Mass.: If Scott Brown’s Lost Josh Romano . . .

In his new gig writing for the Examiner, Pete Da Tech Guy finds trouble at the corner market for the “41st vote”: We now know Brown’s price; $354,000. That’s a local voter’s reaction to this Boston Herald article: U.S. Sen. Scott Brown – the upstart GOP maverick who has threatened to filibuster the Democrats’ move to rein in Wall Street – […]

For Dessert? ‘Epistemic Closure’!

The entrée is crow: Here’s a free hint, kid: don’t talk crap about someone being a shill for ideologically-driven publications and think tanks when that sums up your entire resume. Your bosses might find you ungrateful . . . or they may giggle over the fact you’re a malleable idiot utterly lacking in self-awareness. What […]
