If I were a hardcore Leftist like Salon’s Andrew O’Hehir, I’d be a little freaked out over what I’m seeing in Hollywood these days, as well. Every smurf-less left-wing film released over the last few years has not only failed
Send in the clowns…. (For those wanting only the legal stuff, and not my experiences, skip on down to the line break) Roughly half my friends are lawyers, and the other half are largely military or working for the DoD
Okay, that ices it. I was going to keep quiet about this. But they’ve gone and done it now. For roughly thirty years I’ve been a member of the Screen Actors Guild. I remember back when it was rumored that
Slate’s David Weigel: It’s hard to count the explosions. Battle for America has the sort of pyrotechnics that would make Michael Bay worry about the viewers’ retinas. Some buildings implode as fireballs tumble out the windows. Others crumble into clouds

Today, in 1981, Sandra Day O’Connor is sworn in as a Justice on the United States Supreme Court. Nominated by President Ronald Reagan, she is the first woman to serve on the Court.
I like Harry Reid personally. I’ve known him and his family for almost 30 years and I actually like them. I’d never vote for him in a million years, but personally, I have no problem with him or his family
I recently attended in Washington, D. C. an insightful debate, “How to Interpret the Constitution.” I asked each of four panelists to opine on the constitutionality of the individual mandate requiring all individuals to purchase health care beginning 2014. Two
Remarks of President Obama at Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Dinner, as prepared by the White House: Hello CBC! It is wonderful to be back with all of you. I know you’ve spent a good deal of time talking about what
My friend, writer Diana West has blogged about a breaking New York Daily News story which captures (or should, even for those who remain willfully blind to the burgeoning phenomenon) how local US state institutions are obsequiously imposing Sharia norms.
Via the indispensable NewsBusters, even USA Today can’t carry this much water: There’s awful, and then there’s atrociously, hilariously awful — a line NBC and Jimmy Smits soar across with Outlaw. A gambling, womanizing, conservative Supreme Court justice who chucks
This year marks the centennial of the Mann “White Slave Act,” when Congress made it a federal offence to transport a woman across state lines for “immoral purposes.” Though the act is still on the books (as former New York
From George Stephanopoulos, ABC News: Last week we saw a Florida Pastor – with 30 members in his church – threaten to burn Korans which lead to riots and killings in Afghanistan. We also saw Democrats and Republicans alike assume
It is less than two months to the midterm Congressional elections and for the Republicans all current signs point to something between significant successes at worst, and taking control of Congress if everything breaks their way. To be sure, the
As we celebrate Constitution Day this week, a simple question suggests itself: What exactly does the Constitution constitute? Or, with respect to the Framers: What were these men trying to do? The Constitution cannot have constituted the American people. The
From the LA Times: The command center of Andrew Breitbart’s growing media empire is a suite of offices on Sawtelle Boulevard in West Los Angeles with the temporary feel of a campaign office. Only the computers seem firmly anchored. On

The “Restoring Honor” event at the Lincoln Memorial was inspiring. That should be just the beginning of a “Restoration Movement.” We don’t really need a revolution in America; all we need to do is restore what once was. I have
Are you opposed to Obamacare or illegal immgration? You’re a racist. Are you opposed to gay marriage? You’re a homophobe. Did you oppose Elana Kagan’s appointment to the Supreme Court? You’re a sexist. After less than two years of complete
When Senator Chuck Schumer staged an elaborate press conference on the steps of the Supreme Court to unveil his Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections Act (“DISCLOSE Act”) he noted that: “Anyone who wants to hide,
On June 5, Andrew Coulson posted a disturbing graph at Big Government: He showed that public education costs are skyrocketing while student achievement remains flat. In another graph in the same post, he showed that the public school bureaucracy is
I thought Josh Marshall would take the crown for most hysterical reaction to opposition to Cordoba House. His call for a Shoah-like project to document the evil as it happened (i.e. resistance to Cordoba House) seemed like a shoo-in, but
