The Other McCain

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

CPAC at Last!

by Smitty Here we are at the breakfast with Stacy and Barbara Espinosa. The otherwise patient Stacy McCain has just had his first moment of elevated bloodpressure dealing with an officious fellow. Stacy has a bunch of pictures I need to get processed, so check back for updates. But first a bite of breakfast.

Yeah, I’m A Total Jerk

Sometimes — and this happens far too often — I offend people accidentally. Carelessness, thoughtlessness, recklessness. I’m a jerk. When I wrote earlier about the Hot Air buyout, I didn’t mention my friend Bryan Preston, who was the original video producer for the site and left in 2008. The omission was because I figured Bryan’s departure was a sore spot best left unmentioned. […]

Da Tech Guy: CPAC Cannoli Smuggler

Da Tech Guy has probably cleared security at Reagan National Airport in D.C. by now, so it can now be revealed that he’s brought two dozen cannoli with him for CPAC. Also, he’s brought spare fedoras. Smitty is picking up Da Tech Guy at the airport. We expect to see them both later tonight in the lobby […]

Through shameless blog-whoring and relentless application of Rule 5, the Trog has scored more than 300,000 hits in his first 364 days of blogging. It’s not too late to throw him 700,000 hits today, is it?

Is Fabius Maximus a Congressman?

by Smitty Fabius Maximus has always been a blog to trigger thought. I suspect it’s a gang blog, with a group of academics driving the posting. The blog has been an equal opportunity offender, handing out well-researched drubbings in every direction. This post raises a speculation about the author, emphasis mine: So the recovery must […]

Alan Colmes Asks After The Sugar

by Smitty Alan Colmes points out that the POTUS has a 53% approval rating in the latest polls. Colmes has a non-cranial point here: the Right-o-sphere should demonstrate more grace than the Left ever did for BHO’s predecessor. “Where is the sugar?” asks Alan. Def Leppard has it: Actually, this post is merely an excuse […]

Hear, Hear

by Smitty Patrick at Political Byline on the narrative shaping surrounding the University of Alabama tragedy. Specifically, he took umbrage with the Boston Herald for this quote: “‘She was an oddball – just not very sociable,’ said Sylvia Fluckiger, a former lab technician who worked with Bishop in 1993.” What bothers me is this; there […]
