The Other McCain

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

Attention, Conservative Bloggers

Adam Andrzejewski is having a moneybomb fundraiser tomorrow — beginning at midnight tonight. Pass it on.

The Senate Feud in Kentucky

Lisa Graas, a Kentuckian who supports Bill Johnson in the GOP Senate primary, informs me that FreedomWorks is supporting Rand Paul. She also compiles a list of Kentucky conservative bloggers who are backing Johnson and says: As a tea partier, a Reagan conservative and a Christian here in Kentucky, I’d like the folks at Freedom Works […]

How Do You Pronounce ‘Andrzejewski’?

That’s the question that popped up on Twitter after I posted this news at The American Spectator: It’s not every day that a Nobel Prize winner becomes involved in a U.S. election, but Lech Walesa — famed for his Cold War leadership of the Solidarity movement in Poland — will be campaigning this week for […]

‘Who Is Ellie Light?’

Here are a few headlines I picked up from the front page there yesterday afternoon: Politico: Dazed Dems rethink entire strategy  Red State: Tasting Defeat Hot Air: Pence considering run against Bayh […]

VIDEO: Massachusetts Democrat Who Voted for Scott Brown

Since voting for Harry Truman in 1948, she’s never voted Republican, but after Tuesday? She’s just another irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary tea bagger! Soon to be Keith Olbermann’s Worst Person in the World! (And don’t even think about commenting at Little Green Footballs, lady!)
