The Other McCain

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

Raquel Welch Agrees With Me

Da Tech Guy seems surprised: Raquel Welsh echoing Robert Stacy McCain? Yet we should not be surprised that even a legendary bombshell would acknowledge self-evident truth: One significant, and enduring, effect of The Pill on female sexual attitudes during the 60’s, was: “Now we can have sex anytime we want, without the consequences. Hallelujah, let’s party!” These days, nobody […]

The Pill at 50: Unhappy Un-Birthday

The 50th anniversary of The Pill — oral contraceptives were first marketed in May 1960 — has resulted in a good deal of thoughtless journalism. Gail Collins spins a wondrous myth of The Pill as the pharmaceutical sunshine of a sexual-scientific enlightenment.  The Associated Press calls The Pill “America’s favorite birth control method,” which is not true: Female Sterilization is the […]

Influence of Jerry Lee Lewis Has Belated and Unexpected Effect in Nigeria

Ever since the Killer married his 13-year-old cousin Myra, we’ve been warned about the decadence caused by rock-and-roll, which has finally corrupted even the most distant societies: Nigeria’s Senate has ordered an investigation into reports that one of its members has married a 13-year-old Egyptian girl.

‘So Gay-Friendly as to Be Gay-Crazy’

No, this is not another story about Charlie Crist. That quote comes from Catholic League president Bill Donahue, reacting to a New York Times story about a priest “abuse” scandal where the alleged “victim” didn’t seem to mind too much: Why would the New York Times try to sell this so-called abuse story with a straight face? […]

Geirei Toshav

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — Not that there was ever any doubt, but I’m now a Certified Righteous Gentile after attending a Passover seder Monday hosted by Barbara Espinosa’s friends Larry and Jobi Rosen. The haggadah wasn’t strictly traditional — part of the ritual telling of Israel’s deliverance from Egyptian slavery was performed to the tune of “Gilligan’s […]

Surprise! Sandinista Stooge Jim Wallis Endorses Socialist ObamaCare Bill

Being a student of Cold War history comes in handy when you see a misleading headline like this: Pro-life group urges Congress to pass Senate health care bill “Pro-life group,” my butt. Go down the list of names on that petition, do a little research and you discover that these are all advocates of “social justice,” […]

Let’s Get Something Straight About Tea Parties And Evangelicals

by Smitty (h/t Dodgeblogium) Just How Political Is Christianity? . . . Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s. Mat 22:21 Actual Evangelicals are too busy evangelizing to be political. Separation of church and State, prior to Progressivism becoming the […]

Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places

That seems to be the story of the latest American jihadi: Last Easter, Jamie Paulin-Ramirez, a 31-year-old mom with a $30,000-a-year job as a medical assistant, announced to her family that she had converted to Islam. A few months later, she began posting to Facebook forums whose headings included “STOP caLLing MUSLIMS TERRORISTS!” On Sept. […]
