Laura Ingraham interviews Doubting John — and it’s evident (at least to me) that he’s not quite sold on the value of these Tea Party types who are suddenly infesting his Beltway bailiwick. Regardless of what he says he’s saying. Decide for yourselves: As I’ve noted in the comments several times over the last few days, it’s not really Christine O’Donnell that I’m supporting (though I see no reason why

Fouad Ajami, writing in the WSJ: From his recent travels to the Persian Gulf—sponsored and paid for by the State Department—Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf returned with a none-too-subtle threat. His project, the Ground Zero Mosque, would have to go on. Its cancellation would risk putting “our soldiers, our troops, our embassies and citizens under attack in the Muslim world.” Leave aside the attempt to make this project a matter of

Yet more trouble for Ms O’Donnell and her appeal to the godbotherers. Surely now the TEA Partiers are going to run away in droves! … Seriously. It seems to me the admission that she’s made the same kinds of youthful mistakes as the rest of as, and that she has certain libertarian tendencies, to boot, should make her more appealing to those Dems who don’t like religious conservatism, but who

Meaning this: The Buckley rule is (in the words of Charles Krauthammer): support the most conservative candidate who is electable. That means that Conservatives are supposed to take one for the team and should have nominated Mike Castle – the RINO establishment candidate who was supposed to be a shoo-in. A funny thing happened to the shoo-in, he could not get the Republican Senatorial nomination in Delaware. In case anyone

Me: I understand you are calling 99 House races as “in play” this year. The August Voice of the New York Times: Yes, comprehensive coverage, real roll-up-your-sleeves old fashioned journalism. Me: 99 races in play, sounds like a Republican take-over is certain.

Well, I’ve gone and done it again. Add William Yelverton, Middle Tennessee State professor of da Funk!, to the list of leftist “academics” (and certain conservative “pragmatists” who, surprise! — Yelverton references for support) I’ve caused to lose their shit over the years. In this latest installment, Yelverton, who has shut down other blogs with his antics, is attempting to use similar tactics to shut down mine: though he’s been

Don’t know why, but tonight just screams Joan Jett to me… Make of that juxtaposition what you will. Me, I’m just getting all, like, zen.

And you thought government and bureaucracies were poor economic stewards because they were inefficient, overly-regulatory, and moved at a glacial pace. Racists. Oh, wait —
