Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
There’s a certain inevitability to the fact that a President who continuously surrounds himself by Grecian columns, and who takes in stride the fact that his followers attibute to him God-like powers, would want to be closely associated with the Olympics. You and I think sports. He thinks of his
Continue readingJennifer Rubin pithily sums up the insanity of the government’s cheerful report on increasingly higher unemployment numbers: So to be clear: we’re headed for double digit unemployment, the very thing the stimulus bill was supposed to stave off. We didn’t keep unemployment anywhere near 8% as the administration predicted — but
Continue readingSince you guys have been a little slow in offering your much desired as guest bloggers, I’m going to take advantage of some of the gems you leave in the comments section. Today’s gem is from Charles Martel, which he wrote as a response to my “Good deal all around”
Continue readingOn April 30, Daniel Henninger wrote a very good column about one of Obama’s pre-election gifts — his ability to prevaricate so smoothly that everyone listening ended up believing that Obama was agreeing with his or her point of view: Early in the campaign, in January 2007, a New York
Continue readingI frequently read that the White House is dancing the to the various unions’ tunes because, as the saying goes, you “dance with them what brung you.” In other words, it was union money that helped (in a large way) to pay for Obama’s victory, and now the White House
Continue readingThose of us who were paying attention knew that Obama was lying during the campaign season when he claimed that he was Israel’s best friend. The words sounded pretty, but we knew about (a) his nonexistent track record supporting Israel in the Senate and (b) his affiliations with people (Wright,
Continue readingAlthough Bush did not mess directly with the CIA, it nevertheless turned on him, either because his Iraq War humiliated the CIA by showing how poor its intelligence gathering was or because the CIA is a heavily Democratic institution. If the CIA turns on Obama, though, it will be personal:
Continue readingMike didn’t actually submit this as a guest post. He submitted it as a comment, but it’s so good, it deserved room of it’s own. Here’s the set-up: I blogged about different predator and prey styles, and noted that Obama is relying on the least successful strategy, because it depends
Continue readingMost people think that the title of this post is the entire saying. You know, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch,” “A stitch in time saves nine,” and, oh yes, “Power corrupts.” In fact, what Lord Acton said was much more important than merely noting that an aggregation of
Continue readingLest you needed a reminder that, in his own mind, at least, Obama was crowned king for the world, and wasn’t simply elevated to an important public servant job, the Daily Mail tell us that he released 300 (300!) (300!!!) photos of himself to commemorate his first hundred days. So
Continue readingOctober 2008: McCain finally looks poised to lead in the polls, the market collapses and cool, calm, collected, Ivy League educated Obama vaults forward to victory. April 2009: It starts to look as if both the American public and Congress may be getting leery about Obama’s proposal to nationalize healthcare

Continue readingFrom Rich Lowry: The calendar says Pres. Barack Obama took office in 2009, although that’s only a technicality. In his own mind, Obama ascended in Year Zero, a time of ritualistic cleansing in preparation for the relaunching of an America free from its past sins. Has an American president ever
Continue readingWhen Barack Obama visited Iraq, the photo ops showed him surrounded by cheering, grabbing, hugging, loving military personnel. I found this a bit peculiar, because (a) the military overwhelmingly supported the Republican ticket in the last election and (b) a bit of unscripted documentary evidence indicates that, as far as
