The New York Times published an editorial suggesting that conservative Supreme Court justices recuse themselves from various cases where the partisans at the Times would like the perceived “other side” to win. You can read Ed Whelan’s piece for all the particulars, but I just want to share his summary. More broadly, I will observe […]
I’ve written repeatedly that there will be no peace between Israelis and Palestinians until the Palestinians halt the indoctrination into their death cult that glorifies murderers and dehumanizes Jews. To the American and European left that actually believes the Palestinians want peace, there can be no better evidence of Palestinian perfidy than the website of […]
There was quite a bit of alternate reality in yesterday’s press conference from President Barack Obama, but this one takes the cake. Maybe this “conversation” could include a fiscal commission that would issue a report with recommendations? We shouldn’t be surprised when we elect a “leader” with a serious predilection for voting “present.”
I’m sure you’re familiar with the old bumper sticker: “I can’t be overdrawn, I still have checks left.” Well, that sort of “logic” now passes for serious economic analysis for The New York Times’ Paul Krugman. The nation is not, in fact, “broke.” The federal government is having no trouble raising money, and the price […]
As Republicans make rather feeble attempts to get the government’s huge budget problems under control (with zero help from Democrats), the left is trotting out the same tried and true memes the children, the poor, the elderly will be hardest hit by the changes.

Harry Reid (thanks Nevada voters!) took to the floor to decry the cuts which could spell the end of Nevada's Cowboy Poetry Festival. Set aside […]
On “Fox News Sunday” today GOP Rep. Jeb Hensarling and Democrat Dick Durbin debated budget cuts and unsurprisingly neither appeared to want to give an inch when it came to how much in cuts is too much or too little for the rest of fiscal year 2011. The most interesting part of the interview came […]
A few items to point out on the anthropogenic global warming front today. First is this article earlier this week from Ars Technica (which normally has very good tech news, but when it comes to AGW is a cheerleader for the alarmists) which makes the case that scientists pushing the idea that global warming is […]
Longtime readers may recall the case of Poway High School student Taylor Harper’s T-shirt protesting the “Day of Silence” pro-gay rights event approved by the school. After years of litigation, the Supreme Court finally got the case, decided it was moot (Harper had graduated), but still vacated the 9th Circuit’s decision upholding the district’s decision […]
