First, James Madison downs No. 13 Virginia Tech. Then South Dakota downs Minnesota. Then Cal Poly, which narrowly defeated Div. II Humboldt State last week took on No. 1-ranked Montana. This was the result: It was a great game. Bonus cheerleader dance team photo below the fold.

I suspect a 2012 run for president would be a little early, but 2016 or 2020 watch out! Two years out, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels is currently my preferred GOP candidate for 2012. Daniels-Christie could be unstoppable.

Texas Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson is corrupt, and voters would do well to kick her out. Sen. Barbara Boxer’s aides are as dumb as she is.

I’m reading Jay W. Richards’s book “Money, Greed and God” and I’m really enjoying it. I came across this one paragraph that’s really jumped out at me. In the same vein, after the U.S. Senate voted to raise the minimum wage in February 2007, the Reverend Jim Wallis announced that “God hates inequality.” Ron Sider’s […]

Dan Balz has an amazing article in today’s Washington Post. One of the puzzling questions about Barack Obama's presidency is how the post-partisan candidate of 2008 became the polarizing chief executive of 2010. The answer may be surprising.

The Israelis will be lucky only if these latest round of “talks” don’t result in a third intifada. Why do I say this? Because there […]

The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol has some good advice for President Obama on what he should say tonight in his oval office speech on Iraq. And I hope you would also explain that, whatever one's views of the decision to go to war, we now have a moral obligation and strategic opportunity to help a […]

Liken it to whatever natural disaster you will, it looks like Democrats are going to get demolished come November. The 10-point margin for Republicans on the generic ballot is the largest since Gallup started polling on that subject in the 1940s. Democrats have had bigger margins (at the height of the Watergate scandal), but never […]

I mentioned economist Richard Barro’s work a month ago in the context of the ludicrous claim that a $1 of unemployment insurance spurs $1.63 of economic activity. Barro is back today with another op-ed in The Wall Street Journal on the tricky subject of unemployment insurance. Here’s the key number: To get a rough quantitative […]
