You’ll remember last month when I interviewed event organizer Rhonda Lee Welsch for The American Spectator. Rhonda has since been CC’ing me on her e-mail updates about this event. Here’s her video: BIKE WEEK FREEDOM RALLY Feb. 27-28, Volusia County Fairgrounds E-mail – [email protected]

Union Rank-and-File in Massachusetts Deserted Democrats in Droves

The Wall Street Journal today notes that Republican Scott Brown got more union votes than Martha Coakley. That would be big news if I hadn’t already reported a week ago that SEIU members were supporting Brown and if I hadn’t reported on Election Day that an AFSCME local official was supporting Brown. The plural of […]

Ui2: Schweet Aggregation

Ui2 is an interesting Web news-blog aggregator site that is also — what a coincidence! — a new advertiser at The Other McCain. Here are a few headlines I picked up from the front page there yesterday afternoon: Politico: Dazed Dems rethink entire strategy  Red State: Tasting Defeat Hot Air: Pence considering run against Bayh […]

Asked about the Globe’s assertion that he had claimed to be “unfamiliar” […]

The View Out My Window

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. No, I’m not going the Sully route, and I’m too lazy to upload a photo, but the view out my window tonight is beautiful. It’s a clear night, about 70 degrees outside, and the lights of Los Angeles stretch off in the distance as far as the eye can see. Tuesday night, I crashed […]

Are Vampire Masks Racist? Also: How Bad Does David Brooks Suck?

Of course, I don’t think vampire masks are racist, but expect the Left to make that accusation against Michelle Malkin. Speaking of vampires and other things that suck worse than Avatar, David Brooks’ column yesterday was a backhanded putdown of the Tea Party movement, as Malkin notes. I bought the New York Times yesterday in the San Francisco airport […]
