Rhode Island governor and former U.S. senator Lincoln Chafee has announced that he won’t be going on talk radio and he’s prohibited all other state employees from appearing on talk radio during working hours too. That’s just fine. This appears to be a reaction to his GOP predecessor who appeared on talk radio frequently as […]
We’ve truly come together as a nation in the wake of last weekend’s tragic shooting that left 6 dead and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others wounded with some bipartisan stupidity on the part of lawmakers. Let’s remember that Jared Loughner, the accused shooter, is a nut. He is not an angry, enraged partisan. He is […]
The sun didn’t set yesterday before the professional left had pinned blame for the murders of six people and the wounding of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords on Sarah Palin, the tea party, Glenn Beck, et. al. William Jacobson over at Legal Insurrection has screenshots of the accusations (and especially the hypocrisy) of the usual suspects on […]

The GOP has had control of the House for less than 48 hours and already the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) are already arguing that Republicans have reverted to their free-spending ways and that the Democratic Party is the party of fiscal restraint.

Today the D.C. court of appeals ruled that Walpin’s firing was legal, a ruling that effectively guts the […]
James Cole as the No. 2 in the Department of Justice seems to be the one gaining the most attention of the six recess appointees President Obama installed earlier this week. Daniel Foster over at NRO has some of Cole’s CV: Appointed as the Independent Consultant for American International Group, Inc., to exam its transactions […]
When Democrats assailed then-President George W. Bush over the prosecution of the war on terror or treatment of terrorists held at Gitmo, those of us on the right called them wrong, stupid, misguided, foolish and a variety of other unflattering names.
