Print John Hayward Read Full Bio Spoilerific 'Iron Man 3' gripes My old friend Ed Morrissey of Hot Air liked "Iron Man 3" much better than I did. To recap, I enjoyed the film as popcorn entertainment but found it the weakest of the four films to feature Iron Man thus far. Ed's more positive review is here. 5 May 2013 Iron Man 3 review I thought "Iron Man 3" was the weakest of the three films, having never understood the grousing about part 2. Sure, the second film was overcrowded and suffered from the imperative to set up the other Marvel movies, but it moved at a good clip, mixing the fabled Tony Stark wit with action and some intriguing questions about the dangers of one man wielding the destructive power of an entire nation-state. 4 May 2013 Democrat gone wild accuses the GOP of 'raping' North Carolina Once again we'll get to watch a Democrat skate away from the kind of "gaffe" that would instantly end the career of a Republican, as chronicled by the Greensboro News & Record: 4 May 2013 Let's all laugh at the superstitious primitives In response to Iran Cleric: Women to Blame for Earthquakes: 4 May 2013 The electron microscope recovery Today's unemployment report for April is a good way to detect "low-information voters." If you're talking to someone who thinks the April report is great news, you're either dealing with a low-information voter, or the spinmeisters who control them. 3 May 2013 Same-sex partnerships and green cards Among the many little surprises lurking in the Gang of Eight's "comprehensive immigration reform bill" could be an amendment, proposed by Senator Pat Leahy (D-VT), that would allow "gay Americans to sponsor foreign-born partners for green cards," according to The Hill. 3 May 2013 Google's latest groaner In response to Google Recognizes Palestine as a State: 3 May 2013 ObamaCare is another 'honor system' fraud festival in the making Remember when I mentioned the "free" cell phone program in yesterday's piece about Pigford and Big Government corruption? The cell phone welfare giveaway turned into a mosh pit of abuse, as the government ran the whole thing largely on the honor system, and scam artists happily scooted off carrying half a dozen "free" phones. 2 May 2013 Another 'green economy' success story All hail the great "green economy" sustainable revolution, as we watch another electric car company turn into a fabulously successful investment, bursting with profit from the open wallets of happy consumers. 2 May 2013 Pigford: Big Government and big corruption go hand-in-hand The Pigford story finally broke into mainstream media consciousness at a time when I found myself on a tear against Big Government corruption - for example, the food stamp program, which is a delirious carnival of fraud and studied bureaucratic ignorance. 1 May 2013 Previous 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Next
