Tweet My brain hasn’t yet synthesized all the fascinating data out there, including the wrenching stories of Sandy’s devastation. For the time being, I’ll just pass interesting links on to you. Please feel free to do the same. *** The former Commander of the United States Pacific Fleet has written a white-hot article excoriating Obama [...]

Tweet How reliable is Edward Klein? I don’t know. I don’t believe anyone challenged the facts in his book The Amateur, even if they disagreed with their import. One thing that was immediately clear from reading The Amateur was that Klein got a lot of his information from Hillary Clinton’s camp. Klein’s reliability is very [...]

Tweet 1988: A serial liar, bomber, drug dealer, and criminal claims, without any corroborating evidence, that he sold pot to Vice Presidential candidate Dan Quayle. Despite these allegations (which were almost certainly false), the Bush-Quayle ticket wins. 1992: Governor William Jefferson Clinton contends that, while he put a joint to his lips and allow smoke [...]

Tweet For several years, every Tuesday and Wednesday morning, my sister has regaled me with stories about Dancing With The Stars, which is not just her favorite television show, it’s actually the only show she watches. For those unfamiliar with DWTS, the premise is simple: every season, a group of TV stars, singers, athletes, models, [...]

Tweet Everyone has been talking about Obama’s bizarre behavior in ceding his press conference to Bill Clinton and just walking away. What I haven’t seen commented upon yet, but what I find incredibly funny, is the henpeckedness of it all. Both of these men are reputed to have wives with more testicular fortitude than they [...]

Tweet Unlike Hillary’s speech, Bill’s attempts to focus on Obama, rather than on generic Democratic goals. Bill has a problem, though — the object of his praise has no record on which to run. The best that Bill can do is create what amounts to a report card for a good student: he’s a nice [...]

Tweet I was still an oldlib, not a neocon, when the Clintons finished their White House tenure. I was also uninterested in politics so, like the vast majority of Americans, considered myself informed because I glanced at the headlines. I therefore managed to ignore complete the details and import of Bill Clinton’s sua sponte decision [...]
