The Other McCain

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

Does Sarah Palin Need a Tutor? Would Richard Wolffe Volunteer for the Job?

Cubachi has a post about Richard Wolffe on Hardball with Chris Matthews, in which Wolffe ridiculed the British writer C.S. Lewis as a mere “children’s author”: Lewis was, of course, a master of Christian apologetics and a good friend of J.R.R. Tolkien — they were colleagues at Oxford University — with whom he shared a desire to […]

You’ll Never Forgive Me for This

Of all of the sick, disgusting, offensive things I’ve ever blogged, nothing can top this one. But remember: Nobody can force you to click the link. It’s a free country, and I am not responsible for the result.

Bristol Palin, Margaret Cho, Kathy Griffin and the Politics of Sexual Destruction

“Everyone was trying to pit me against Bristol, but the truth is, we got along well. She never asked me to babysit Tripp or anything like that, but I consider her a friend. . . . I really like Bristol as a person. . . . I am proud of her for shaking her ass!” […]

Which is damned foolish, considering that I’m rather authoritative about myself. […]

Calling B.S. on Ed Rollins

Dan Calabrese has had it up to here with the anti-Palin crowd:  it seems that just about everyone else is obsessed with Palin’s presidential prospects, and that includes a certain Ed Rollins, who holds forth today on CNN.com with a piece titled, “Palin, I knew Reagan.

Memo for Meghan McCain

“Let the in-fighting continue. . . . I don’t need some blue blooded elites who have accomplished nothing on their own to keep telling me what is right for my country. . . . I don’t need a bunch of spoiled brats who only got into the ‘best’ schools because of what other members of […]
