The Other McCain

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

Good Dad, Bad Dad

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents . . . — Romans 1:30 (KJV) Exactly why I was referring to the first chapter of Romans on Twitter is perhaps irrelevant here. At any rate, I found myself lecturing on the principles of parenthood, which I understand as well […]

Wedding Day

My 21-year-old daughter, Kennedy Catherine McCain, is getting married at 10 a.m. today to Martin, which means that my attempts to bribe the couple into eloping have failed.

Anyway, so my 20-year-old daughter Kennedy pops up on Facebook chat to tell me that she heard the Montgomery Gentry song “One in Every Crowd” […]

Aretha Franklin Understands

Matthew Archbold makes his wife feel like a natural woman, which shocks a woman who’s all into “natural” living: “What?!” gasped the woman. “Really? You really have five kids?” . . . It is rather an oddity that with all this focus on natural foods that many women still don’t consider birth control in the […]
