The indiscreet voicemail, left by Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) for a lobbyist, sounded a bit like a “shakedown”, which is no big surprise. I know from first-hand experience that Ms. Norton can use veiled threats and thuggish behavior when
Today marks Constitution Day. On 17 September 1787, in Philadelphia, the Framers of the American Constitution added their signatures to the document they had produced, and soon thereafter it was dispatched to the Continental Congress for consideration by the states.

Tea Party conservative Christine O’Donnell knocked off longtime Republican insider milquetoast Mike Castle in the Delaware Republican primary Tuesday for the Senate seat once held in a lockbox by Vice President Joe Biden. It’s another victory for the GOP rank
So Sarah Palin and Jim DeMint endorsed Christine O’Donnell in the Delaware Republican primary. Some folks called this idiotic, because O’Donnell is a fringe candidate endorsed by Tea Partiers. And maybe, she has problems. The financial stuff’s been reported everywhere:

The Make-Believe Media is finally admitting what we knew at least eight months ago: the Tea Party is taking over the GOP. Actually, reviving the GOP and reestablishing its original principles, but the MBM needs a scary angle, and piracy
Consider the outrage from the left at such a notion. “That’s the thinking that got us into this mess in the first place,” the President and his lock-step liberal legions will rush to remind us. Well, no, it isn’t. The
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry formally noticed members of his panel that the Committee would hold a mark-up on September 16th of the strategic arms reduction treaty negotiated by the Obama administration with the Russians. Remarkably, the resolution
In response to the conventional wisdom that says voters are just taking out their anger at President Obama on House and Senate Democrats this mid-term, Charles Krauthammer offers an alternative reason.
In the wake of yesterday’s hostage drama at the Discovery Network, we have learned that the perpetrator, James Lee, was driven by environmental extremism. It turns out that he didn’t like people very much, seeing them as threats to the
In the wake of yesterday’s terrorism outside Washington, DC by Discovery-network hostage-taker James J. Lee, let’s consider the position articulated by, say, radio host Glenn Beck to not attribute responsibility to Al Gore’s eco-ranting. The latter is of course larded
