Liberals continue to obsess about female Conservative firebrands. I hope this continues, because the more energy they spend examining these women and their more provocative comments and political positions, the less energy they will have to recognize the real danger they face, which is the tsunami of Independents which [...]
One can expect quite a lot of ink and hot air to be expended over the coming weeks as highly paid political pundits and analysts (as well as a few slobs like me) pore over the results of last night's major political contests and try to determine what, if' [...]
Things are going from bad to worse for the owners of America's newspapers as circulation declines dramatically. Here are the figures for the top 25 newspapers. Interestingly, only The Wall Street Journal, which is the number one newspaper in terms of circulation, saw a slight increase. Could it be' [...]
An analysis of recent polling data. Yes, things don't look so good for Obama and the Democrats at the moment. I will be especially interested to see what happens in the gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey. If the GOP wins in Virginia, the Democrats will be able' [...]
President Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize. This guy is going to be remembered as the most loved, most honored, and least deserving of love and honors President we've ever had.
To expand on my thoughts from yesterday...is Barack Obama the least experienced man ever to serve as President of the United States, at least when it comes to executive experience (running any kind of large organization) or national political experience (understanding how Washington and international politics works). Let's see what [...]
The Kennedys usually get what they want in Massachusetts, so it is no surprise that they got the state legislature to pass a law allowing the governor to make an interim appointment, and that the governor then chose the man they wanted to fill the seat.
After yesterday's Washington Post story about a memo from the American General in charge in Afghanistan, essentially telling the President he needs more troops or the mission will fail, there was a great deal of reaction.
Jeremy Lott says President Obama is failing miserably. Politically, that would seem to be the case, as his poll numbers continue to fall, the GOP's numbers continue to rise, and he seems to be using up all of his political ammunition and credibility in an effort to get his [...]
Here is an analysis of the competitive House seats with more than a year to go before the 2010 elections. At the moment, it looks as if the GOP will pick up between 20 and 30 seats. Of course, a lot can happen in a year. Still, history shows [...]
Charlie Cook has some chilling news for Democrats. Essentially, the political climate is such that the Democrats may be looking at big losses in 2010. Why? First and foremost, the elderly are being scared out of their wits by the health insurance reform plans which are being hashed out [...]
Sen. Ted Kennedy sends a letter to Massachusetts leaders calling for a change in the the state's senatorial succession law. He wants the law to allow the Governor to appoint an interim Senator to fill the seat before a special election. I will be shocked if they do not [...]
Bob Novak, dead at 78. I was a fan, of course, having watched him often over the years on cable TV shows like Crossfire, but I was a reader even before then when he co-wrote one of the best and most influential political columns of the time with his [...]
The Cambridge Police Commissioner defends his officers and his department against the criticism directed against them in the wake of the arrest of an African-American Harvard Professor, including criticisms from the Governor of Massachusetts and the President of the United States. He also promised to create a board of [...]
For once I'm surprised by a vote in Congress, as the Senate votes to strip funding for additional F-22 fighter jets. The President and the Defense Secretary don't want them, but they provide jobs in many congressional districts, so I expected Congress to fund them. Of course, when it [...]
Simply put, great exploration is driven by the quest for knowledge, sure, but it is funded by the drive for wealth and power. The great exploratory expeditions [...]
Ralph Peters warns President Obama about the foreign policy trap. I fear we will learn once again the lesson we should have learned with Johnson, Carter and, to a lesser extent, Clinton. Liberal Democrats, due to their flawed view of human nature, are not well equipped to deal with [...]
The reason all this talk about capping emissions to slow the rate of "Global Warming" is really just so much hot air (pardon the pun) is because nations that [...]
