The Other McCain

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

One of These Things Is Not Like the Other

Jim Hoft says it’s a “smear” for the New York Times to compare the Tea Party movement to the Weather Underground of the 1960s and ’70s. More to the point, the comparison is stupidly inaccurate. The Weathermen emerged after 1969 from Students for a Democratic Society — an organization, as it name says, composed primarily of college students. SDS […]

The Price of Press-Corps Fellatio

Ed Driscoll calls our attention to this interesting media dynamic: Every reporter in the White House press corps is writing a book promising “inside access” to the Obama administration, which bends the supply-demand curve for such access. Reporters are being required to provide fawning “blow job” coverage and then wait their turn for access. So don’t be surprised by the lack […]

Who Is Brent Budowsky, and Why Should Anybody Care What He Thinks?

To answer the first question, Budowsky is a former Democratic Capitol Hill aide, but I don’t know that there is any valid answer to the second question, as Budowsky slags Matt Drudge in The Hill: Let me suggest here that Drudge’s power may turn out to be more of a curse than a blessing for […]

So Much for That ‘Rising Risk’

Eugene Robinson’s fear — or should I say, hope? — of a “serious threat of domestic terrorism . . . from the far right” turns out to be far-fetched: There’s a lot of anger out there. But the alleged plot by Midwestern militants and violent outbursts by scattered individuals don’t signal any coming wave of […]

Time Magazine’s Congressional Correspondent ObamaCare Cheerleader

Jay Newton-Small is the newest top contender for the George Stephanopoulos Prize for Non-Partisan Objectivity: Take a good look around, Democrats, this is likely to be as bad as it’s going to get. . . . But, oh how quickly things can change. If you pass the bill, next week’s coverage is likely to trumpet triumph, the […]

One Possibility Is That The Beverage Intake Helps Balance The Tone

by Smitty Nice Deb asks the Olbermann-driven question about insufficient diversity at coffee parties. ND seems unaware of the Alinsky rule (4?) about holding the opposition to their rules only applies to the opposition, which is the Tea Parties. But there is an antidote to the lack of diversity: The Zo. PJTV has his Dallas […]

Klavan

by Smitty At some point of critical mass, PJTV should grow its own studio and start another phase of bulldozing the entrenched dreck. So subscribe to them, and bring that day closer.

Send the Body to Keith Olbermann

So says Professor Glenn Reynolds, in not quite so many words. The Christian Science Monitor cites certain predictable sources to gin up speculation that the Pentagon shooter was motivated by “right-wing extremism,” but . . . eh, not so much:  Internet research shows that the guy was a 9/11 Truther and an anti-Bush nut case. So much […]
