Once a Weiner, always a…

…dick: It was a low-profile race, but Weiner attracted positive reviews, aggressively campaigning and using his performer’s flair to steal the show at debates and candidate forums. But as the all-important Sept. 10 Democratic primary approached, the consensus was that he’d come up short and that, as Newsday put it in an editorial endorsing one of his opponents, he should “try again next time.” * Continue reading It was at

The "the Coen Brothers remade True Grit poem"

The Coen Brothers remade True Grit. Which I’m fine with — though I admit I’m having a hard time believing Jeff Lebowski is such a crack shot.

"President Obama’s phony accounting on the auto industry bailout"

Or, as I would’ve titled the story, “Obama lies. That’s what he does. That’s who he is. That’s who they all are.” #VISIGOTHERY!

Irony

K.I.D.S. Act co-sponsor, Anthony Weiner, “Protecting Children On the Internet”: In early 2007 my office did a study that found that over 85% of registered sex offenders in New York City live less than five blocks from schools, and 670 sex offenders live within just two blocks. Some offenders are even closer, permanently residing less than 500 feet away from unwitting parents, educators and children. Along with several colleagues in

Of course, Sessions’ problem is that, where he sees a dereliction of duty, the Dems see political pragmatism, a shifting demographic toward government dependence, and, ultimately, #winning! The mess is the point. Until we admit that this is what the progressives are up to, we won’t be able to hit the right notes for correcting

"Geithner Wants Globalization of Standards for Financial Institutions"

CNS: “We are committed to building a more level playing field internationally, as we move ahead with reforms in the United States,” Geithner told the International Monetary Conference in Atlanta, Georgia Monday. “We don’t want to see another race to the bottom around the world. As we act to contain risk in the U.S., we want to minimize the chances that it simply moves to other markets around the world.”

Weiner fesses up to Twitter bonergate [UPDATED!]

Why? Because he was caught dead to rights, and because other photos are coming out. He lied. He blamed hackers. He allowed people to defend him (hi, Amanda! Weiner and Edwards, eh? No wonder you have such feminist street cred!) and he allowed others, like Andrew Breitbart, to be accused of trying to set him up. He attacked the messenger. He showed the grubbiness of his soul. He’s despicable. He’s

"China to US: Forget debt ceiling, cut spending"

It’s come to this: the Red Chinese are more concerned about the US economy than progressive Democrats. Up is down. Black is white. BJ is the Bear.

Chris Wallace interviews Sarah Palin

Any “substance” here? You be the judges. Rather than letting John Tobin or, say, Jen Rubin — late of Berkeley, and currently settling into the Beltway cocktail set — judge for you.

The unrelenting disillusionment post

Meh. Get off my lawn.
