The Other McCain

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

Sissypuss Has An Industrial Strength Tinfoil Hat Competition Entry

by The Blog Kitty It all clicked. I get it. The point of the Obama/Trump birther conspiracy. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Hawaii’s most famous son. Jon Meacham, useful idiot par dreck-sellance gives us the clue here: But that’s another story. Little is known of the story of the native-born clause. As reconstructed […]

The Other McCain School Of Career Planning: Online Degree In Game Art

by Smitty Just in case you are, or know somebody who is young and needs a very little bit of direction in life, as in, not enough to go too far, point them to the Full Sail University, where they can get a degree in Game Art. I have no idea of the price, since […]

The 1970s In NYC: Something Else

by Smitty Ed Driscoll, one of those great bloggers whom we don’t link enough, has a post about people waxing nostalgic for NYC’s seedier days. Admittedly, that was a little before my time, but it did bring to mind a funny bit from Our Dumb Century: Some humorless git seems to have left the funniest […]

Furthermore, I shouldn’t get too judgmental before understanding the context. And I’ve taken any number of affectionate swipes at Stacy McCain here in the blog. Keeps the place lively. Yet […]

Definition of ‘Misogynist’

A guy who thinks feminists are funny when they’re angry. And of course, they’re always angry, aren’t they? “Dilbert” cartoonist Scott Adams mocked them for fun: This weekend the top twitter meme in the solar system, at least for a few hours, involved Feminist blogs calling me an ignorant, misogynist asshole.

Bigger Breasts: By Any Means Necessary?

Professor Glenn Reynolds has called our attention to a New York Times story reporting that breast-enhancement surgery is becoming more and more popular — a 40% increase in the number of such surgeries during the past decade, with more than 300,000 women undergoing such procedures in 2010.
