The angle of a just-released New York University study is, of course, that ole’ left-wing canard known as “income inequality,” but the findings are still useful in drawing other conclusions, and not ones that are very pleasant. Is America now
The Daily Caller’s Matt Lewis: Even if Republicans negotiate the best bipartisan deal possible (something akin to the Corker plan), anyone who votes for it would be accused of selling out. This would cause the base to either become demoralized
Keith Koffler over at the invaluable White House Dossier writes: The massive spending cuts and tax increases set to kick in January 2 will cause a second recession, from which we may not emerge for many months. The economy may

Although Gallup was pretty off on their 2012 election polls, the job approval number isn’t weighted; it’s merely a poll of all adults — which generally favors Democrats. Over the past few days, the president’s disapproval number has crept up to
At the risk of angering his base, House Speaker John Boehner opened the fiscal cliff negotiations with an immediate offer to raise taxes on the wealthy — maybe not raise them in the way Obama would like (tax-rate increase), but

As the clock ticks and we watch the various players move their pieces into place, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Republicans are in a no-win situation. They’re ether going to have to cave and agree to a tax increase without meaningful
Fascinating story from the Israeli Defense Forces detailing how terrorists hide — literally — behind and within the media to avoid being targeted: When Operation Pillar of Defense began on Nov. 14, Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip knew that the
Andrew Rosenthal, editor of the New York Times’ editorial page, angrily conceded today that Republicans have successfully defeated any chance Susan Rice had to become Secretary of State. I couldn’t disagree with him more on that issue, but here’s some willful ignorance

Over at Hot Air, Allahpundit makes a superb point. On MSNBC, the insufferably smug Joe Scarborough has been blistering Republicans for days now, specifically John McCain and Lindsey Graham, for threatening to block Susan Rice’s nomination as Secretary of State.
For the record, I’m all in favor of going over the fiscal cliff. I’m willing to pay higher taxes for a few months in order to get a better deal on spending cuts and to save the soul of the
As she did with Fast and Furious, Sharyl Attkisson over at CBS News continues the unheralded work of digging into the Obama Administration’s scandals — this time being the non-stop flow of misinformation and double-talk surrounding Libya. Apparently, we’re now
This culture of death stuff that’s so ingrained in ObamaCare and the Left’s overall mindset is nothing short of terrifying. Here’s Time’s Joe Klein openly ruminating on where he would like to see Medicare/ObamaCare ultimately end up: The second caveat
The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin rounds up some media criticism Obama’s facing over the politics he’s so obviously playing in the face of the oncoming fiscal cliff. Rubin’s correct about this: Obama’s conduct so far bespeaks of a man still determined to
***UPDATE: Politico’s Dylan Byers remembered something I forgot — rumors that Lindsey Graham’s denied about his being gay. What we might have here, then, is an anti-gay joke told by Heilemann and laughed at hysterically by Joe Scarborough. They’ll get away with
