In response to The Internet and the Decline of the Post’s News Monopoly: I hope the Washington Post pulls through. More content is always better, from every part of the spectrum. In terms of the great online debate, healthy competition
It looks like the Coward-Piven theory of leftist agitation – overwhelming public institutions with garbage data until they collapse, and can be replaced with something more to the radical Left’s taste – is getting a workout on the U.S.-Mexico border
In response to Another Reply to Another Article About Women Making the Wrong Choices: You’ve nicely highlighted something that has always disturbed me about the New Way of Doing Things. I’m old enough to remember when full-time moms were at
Are we suffering from such an embarrassment of riches on TV these days that no one notices when a show that’s merely excellent returns for a new season? Did the return of the best show on the air, “Breaking Bad,”
Speaking of the fusion of government and industry, I’ve been trying to decide whether Obama’s weird claim that “consultation with businesses all across the country” authorized him to violate the Affordable Care Act is a laughable example of a desperate
In one of those curious bits of synchronicity, I caught a few minutes of a documentary film about the remarkably advanced robotic production line of Tesla Motors this morning. They make extremely expensive boutique electric cars. Their production line is
No real surprises here. ObamaCare was designed to fail; even as the gullible saps in the Democrat electorate were told fairy tales about deficit reduction and “bending the cost curve down,” the socialist power brokers of the Left were promising
In response to Poll: Three-Quarters Say ‘Essential’ Immigrants Learn English: Maybe a better way to write the headline would be, “26% think it’s not essential for immigrants to learn English.” As Jerry Seinfeld might put it, “who are these people?”
In response to Mock and Tackle Moment – Why Do Atheists Fear Allah?: It’s always interesting to watch the “separation of church and state” crowd go weak in the knees before Islam, bending over backward to accommodate it after treating
For some reason, we’re back to having a debate over whether it was immoral to drop the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. (I know the anniversary dates are what prompt the annual hand-wringing session. I just don’t get why
In response to I’m Just About Done With the Filner Story: I know what you mean, Ace. It seems like a combination of numb horror and fatalism has overtaken observers of the Filner freak show. Numb horror that it just
In response to Slouching Towards Idiocracy: The heck of it is, there are still lines to be transgressed, and taboos that must not be violated. But all the old ones that made sense – the standards that nourished a healthy
Since the early days of ObamaCare, when precious waivers were dispensed by the royal court to politically connected special interests (quite a few of which just happened to be located in then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s rich district), we’ve been wondering
In response to In a Surprise Choice, BBC Announces the 12th Doctor Who Will Be Bob Filner: I caught the big unveiling extravaganza the Beeb broadcast around the world, and had to chuckle at the thought of everyone outside the
Say, does everyone remember how liberals went absolutely nuts because President George Bush didn’t think it was important to kill Osama bin Laden? This was portrayed by sneering liberals as excuse-making by Chimpy McHitlerburton for his inability to take down
In response to Go See ‘The Way Way Back’: I saw “The Way Way Back” and was also pleasantly surprised. It’s jarring to see Steve Carrell as an outright villain, instead of the uptight well-meaning doofus he usually plays. That
In response to Why the GOP’s ‘War on Women’ Riposte Makes Sense: “Populist outrage first, policy backstopping afterwards” is very well-put. It’s another way of emphasizing the importance of political narratives, especially in a short-attention-span, low-information political culture. Of course
In response to Republicans Are Weaponizing Weiner Democrats Complain: That’s all pretty rich coming from the party that surgically grafted Todd Akin onto every single Republican running in 2012. They managed to fuse Akin, Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, and
Not many actors play the same character in six different films, with a seventh on the way – the time-traveling “Days of Future Past” movie that will link the first three X-Men films with the groovy 60s-era “First Class.” Not
I caught the remake, reboot, reimagining, whatever, of the horror classic “Evil Dead” on DVD the other day. It’s an interesting test case for remake-mania. I watched the original, which I hadn’t screened in years, on Netflix immediately afterward for
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley recently dropped by the offices of FN Manufacturing to celebrate another business success story in her state. The video of her visit has become a viral sensation. If you don’t understand why, Brian Cox explains
Further evidence that the media is working overtime to pull Huma Abedin from beneath the flaming wreckage of her husband Anthony Weiner’s political career, much the way George Zimmerman has been known to pull families out of overturned trucks, courtesy
In response to SD City Attorney: Females in the Media Need Escort to Interview ‘Filthy Filner’: Just to be on the safe side, female reporters should consider wearing hazmat suits when entering a room with “Filthy” Filner. And it would
Not only are George Zimmerman and his family in hiding because of death threats from the “Justice 4 Trayvon” mob, but now they’re going after a 78-year-old preacher from Deland, Florida, who just happens to be named George Zimmerman. The
One of the core principles of Obamanomics is the theory of trickle-up socialism, captured in its purest form by the contention that unemployment checks represent a powerful form of economic “stimulus.” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi described unemployment insurance as
