Rick Perry hasn't formally announced that he is running for President, but this interview with Mark Halperin of Time (the guy who famously dropped the "D" bomb on Obama) makes pretty clear Perry is running and that rumors of a rift between Bush and Perry...

They just can't help themselves.  Despte throwing everything the had at it, the Wisconsin Democrat/Union coalition lost the Prosser/Kloppenburg statewide election, and then failed to pick up the three seats needed to take control of the state Senate.  Having lost, Democrats declared victory. Democrats have convinced themselves that...

Not just this book. Sent by reader and photographer Bob who writes: In über-liberal Seattle, this is a brave act of insurrection. People here are real jerks about their liberalism. ...

A look at our future on the current road to a permanent dependency state where there is little marginal incentive to work, and those who produce and provide jobs are demonized and ridiculed to the point of no return. From Max Hastings of The Daily Mail Online,...

Reports the Jerusalem Post: As riots have spread across the UK leading to hundreds of arrests and the death of one 26-year-old man, Iran has called on British police to avoid using violence against rioters and demonstrators, and to show "restraint" when dealing with protesters, Iranian FarsNews Agency reported. The Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman...

Never in the field of human conflict have so many been so disappointed so frequenttly in so short a period of time at so high a cost of money with so few lessons learned.     [Yes, I know the title alludes to one speech and the text...

Great reaction to yesterday's Wisconsin recall elections, from blogger Lexington Green at Chicago Boyz (via Instapundit).  Read the whole thing.  Leaves me with that "wish I'd said that" feeling: The people have spoken.  Again. Get used to it. Next: More rollback. Here, there and everywhere. Today Madison, tomorrow DC. Today Wisconsin,...

Yesterday Harry Reid appointed John Kerry, Patty Murray and Max Baucus. Today Republicans appointed: Speaker John A. Boehner chose three senior Republican House memebrs: Jeb Hensarling of Texas, and Dave Camp and Fred Upton, both from Michigan. Mr. Hensarling, who is chairman of the House Republican Conference, will...

As thugs have been burning, beating, and stealing their way through London, citizens of that disarmed society had little to defend themselves with as the police were completely overwhelmed. I have the utmost respect for police officers and the work they do, but they cannot be...

To say that Justin Elliott of Salon.com has it out for Rick Perry is an understatement. Last month I focused on Elliott's fruitless attempt to paint Perry as a neo-confederate by association.  Now Elliott is trying to paint Perry as, get this, both anti-Muslim and pro-Sharia,...

Yes, you are celebrating.  But the Wisconsin Senate recall elections are not over. Republicans have a chance to deliver a political coup de grâce to the national union and Democratic intimidation tactics next Tuesday when there are two elections seeking to recall Democratic State Senators Robert Wirch...

What a night.  Thanks to all those who stopped by and commented. I thought this tweet perfectly captured the evening: ...

... who said the Tea Party was a bunch of violent extremists, that Kloppenburg would beat Prosser, and the Dems would take back the Wisconsin Senate? Why so skeptical?  They have journalism degrees, and you don't. Taken by the wife yesterday in Swansea, Massachusetts: ...

along with Patty "Why Won't the Koch Brothers Donate to Democrats?" Murray, and Max "Obamacare creates near chaos" Baucus.  (via HotAir) What possibly could go wrong?  Or right (is Baucus a weak link?)? Analysis, please....

Obama plays with fire with his relentless class warfare. It tears at the seams which hold a country together. Demonizing the "top 2%" and claiming they don't "pay their fair share" is not harmless when it is the singular focus of one's political...
