Dick Harpootlian clears the air

Dick Harpootlian, the comically nasty dinosaur who headed up South Carolina's Democrat Party until last Friday, doesn't like Republican governor Nikki Haley very much.  In fact, at the Democrat convention last year, he compared her to Hitler's mistress, Eva Braun. 7 May 2013

The welfare state transforms people into liabilities, not assets

The Heritage Foundation's much-discussed report on the cost of amnesty pegs it at $6.3 trillion, measuring government benefits paid against a far smaller amount of tax revenue to be collected.  It's early yet, since the report weighs in at 92 pages and has only been available for a day, but I haven't heard any serious criticism of its methodology.  Thus far, the complaints have been inaccurate, evidently coming from people who haven't actually read the report.  For example, they criticize it for failing to take account of the economic benefits of amnesty, but in fact it does. 6 May 2013

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

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
