Candidate Obama, responding to a question from the Boston Globe: In what circumstances, if any, would the president have constitutional authority to bomb Iran without seeking a use-of-force authorization from Congress? (Specifically, what about the strategic bombing of suspected nuclear sites -- a situation that does not involve stopping an IMMINENT threat?) The President does […]

In the run-up to the 2010 elections, the mainstream media continually sought to portray the Tea Party movement as a bunch of nutty racists, just one dog-whistle order from Rush Limbaugh away from mowing down progressives with automatic weapons purchased from Mexican drug cartels. When Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot by a conspiracy minded nutjob […]

Yesterday, President Obama announced that the U.S. military would support a no-fly zone over Libya with materiel and personnel. From the president’s remarks: Now, here is why this matters to us.  Left unchecked, we have every reason to believe that Qaddafi would commit atrocities against his people.  Many thousands could die.  A humanitarian crisis would […]

I present to you (via QandO) Bizarro Nancy Pelosi (complete with odd facial structure): It’s almost as if recorded history started Monday, and nothing she and her accomplices did in the four years previous ever occurred.

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. Over at Mother Jones, (demonstrating that I’m far more well-read than […]
