a CITIZEN JOURNALIST retires for the day with a flourish
Today’s forecast: partly cloudy and breezy here in my part of Colorado, with highs in the low-to-mid 80s. And the GOP will never become a viable party for classical liberals, because too many Republicans and putative “conservatives” have already surrendered to the progressives — and they either don’t know it, are too proud to admit it, or are able to justify it based on some always-pressing short term crisis that

a final few words on the Akin matter
Allow me a few final words on this Akin dustup so that I can address some of my “critics”. First, I am not supporting Akin in any specific way.

Dr Thomas Sowell, Visigoth
“Barack Obama And Ruling By Presidential Decree” — a scandalous column for which there are only two words: Un. Helpful. Sad. I can remember a time when Sowell presented reasonable opinions reasonably and didn’t engage in such naked rape of the political language. I said Good Day, sir!

“EPA Regulations Will Close Coal Plants, Raise Electricity Prices, GAO Says”
And? Obama promised to do just that. Necessarily. Look: I understand that many of us are so cynical about politics these days that we’re stunned when politicians carry through on what they say they’re going to do. We recognize that America is different now — that most of our goods are manufactured in China, and that most of our political candidates are manufactured in focus groups. But when what they
