Culture wars

A couple of notes on the ongoing culture wars: NBC is rejecting CatholicVote's pro-life ad for Sunday's Super Bowl broadcast that I highlighted earlier this week. NBC and the NFL say they don't take issue or advocacy ads. As LifeNews.com points out, that wasn't the explanation given earlier this week when PETA's racy ad was […]

Stimuluspalooza

I've noted before that the Republican Study Committee has a lot of good ideas on providing the economy a needed kick-start. Some conservative commentators have also suggested cutting the payroll tax -- something that would be felt by rich and poor alike and would also help businesses to keep employing workers.

Sometimes it's about the individual

The Washington Post's Anne E. Kornblut has a hysterical article about women unable to break through the proverbial glass ceiling.

Obama overturns Mexico City Policy

Obama waited until his third full day in office to open the funding spigot to abortion providers overseas. I had predicted he would do it on his first full day in office. I was wrong. But Obama's accompanying statement regarding his executive order was laughable and somewhat offensive. Obama said in a statement that family […]

That would make him a one-term president

From the Los Angeles Times: Transfixed by the daily spectacle of dismal economic news and wild Wall Street swings, few Americans have looked up to see what a wide array of economists say lies beyond the immediate crisis. And with good reason: The picture isn't pretty. The sleek racing machine that was the U.S. economy […]
