The Other McCain

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

Goreture II: There’s Moore

by Smitty (If you don’t start with Paco, this post will make little sense) Agent Kowalski grimaced at Faisal, securely bound in the chair. The table was empty save the screen sitting on some cheap playback gear. The Gore tape had failed. Or had it succeeded too well? Could the robotic utterances of Al Gore […]

Like Rip Van Winkle

After delivering The Final Wisdom on PA-12 yesterday afternoon, I took a nap and didn’t wake up until nearly midnight. I woke to discover a world of news had transpired: Campbell Brown quit CNN because she’s so doggone unbiased that her ratings sucked. Jimmie Bise pointed out that “CNN runs uninterrupted in every hospital lobby, mechanic waiting room, […]

Despite Re-Tweet by Alyssa Milano, Mickey Kaus Still Senate ‘Long Shot’

Ever since Alyssa re-Tweeted him Oct. 28, Mickey Kaus has been the envy of bloggers everywhere (or at least, bloggers around here). However, that kind of New Media energy — dude, she’s got more than 830,000 followers — has not yet developed into an electoral tsunami: In a year when Tea Party activists and the GOP […]

Almost as Good as ‘Epistemic Closure’

That Atlantic piece about Ricochet has set off a very interesting blog discussion about what it is conservatives should be doing with New Media. All we need now is for Julian Sanchez to weigh in, get Glenn Greenwald and David Frum involved, and we’ll have another pointless month-long time-waster. While we await the onset of Sanchezistic discourse, […]

OTOH some on the Right seem focused on […]

Coolest. Swag. Evah!

Something special for someone special: Here’s the design featured on the mug: That first mug is just a sample, and I’ve placed an initial order for six dozen. Let me emphasize that no one can buy these mugs. These are gifts — just a small token of our appreciation for the readers who have contributed […]

‘The Stepchild of Culture 11?’

This is becoming a familiar pattern for conservatives who want to waste a double buttload of cash: Create a new Web site; Promise something innovative and different; and Most of all, don’t call Stacy McCain. Because I don’t anything about “making conservatism fun, light-hearted and accessible.”

Self-Portrait Of A Blog Writing Its
Own Post

by Smitty In the attempt to be cool like the Instapundit, I was off to see the vampire today for my octofortnightly* donation on the apherisis machine. The Inspiron Mini proves its worth yet again. With the 6-cell battery pack, it represents a great tradeoff between form factor, horsepower, and endurance. The trackpad exhibits some […]
