First it was Lara Logan. Then other female journalists: The press freedom organization Reporters Without Borders on Friday cautioned news outlets on sending female reporters to Cairo’s Tahrir Square, citing three incidents in which reporters have been assaulted. “It is more dangerous for a woman than a...
From The Razor (h/t SoccerDad), a brutal takedown of Mitt Romney followed by a "he's electable" endorsement, The Case for Mitt Romney: I don’t like Mitt Romney. I think he’s almost a walking cliche of the smooth talking, Country Club Republican. I think he’s about as...
The first American killed in the Afghan war, on November 25, 2001. I've told his story before, but it is worth remembering every year. This interesting video by The Daily Caller recalls the group of special forces similar to Spann, who worked with Afhan warlord Abdul Rahdis...
A colossal mistake, of historic proportions, the Great Error, the greatest political error since The Great Depression, the MAILER-DAEMON of presidents. Spotted in my hometown in Rhode Island: ...
The second ad released by Scott Walker in response to the recall effort features a Wisconsin teacher. Anti-Walker commenters at TPMDC identify her full name. The first ad is here. I think this hits the right theme, sour grapes and Walker doing what's right. I would...
... Who's getting really excited about the 2012 Summer Olympics in London?...
Some breaking news items: How's that protection of civilians in Libya working out? Not so great. Trump still threatening third party. h/t Windbag at the Tipline Some interesting pro-Israel videos. h/t Beloved2 at the Tipline I will have a full-throttled defense of Mitt Romney against this accusation on Saturday...
Yesterday I noted the accusation by an anti-Israeli LGBT activist writing in The New York Times that Israel engages in "pinkwashing," the promotion of its not-gay bashing, not-gay stoning, not-gay hating policies to cover up its suppression of Palestinians. How long before Israel is accused of...
Newt Gingrich's statement on immigration at the national security debate is being called an unforced error by some in the conservative media. Immigration was not the topic of the night, so why make it the highlight of the night? I don't know whether Newt's position, that...
and all the others who have served this country. From reader and frequent photographer Linda: To you and yours, Professor God bless you for your work in the cause of liberty for all. May we all have cause to be especially thankful come Thanksgiving 2012! This bumper sticker spotted at...
Happy Thanksgiving Eve. Here are some things I've noticed but have not been able to do separate posts about: ABA Gives “Not Qualified” Rating to 14 of 185 Proposed Obama Judicial Nominees. This reminds me of the futile attempt to stop the nomination of a federal...
Every time one thinks it is impossible for Israel haters to come out with a more bizarre justification for hating Israel, someone comes up with an even more bizarre justification. Today's exhibit is City University of New York Professor Sara Schulman, who is feverishly anti-Israeli to...
One of the key supposed foreign policy achievements of the Obama administration is turning into a disaster. Egypt is quickly devolving into chaos with only bad likely outcomes, as Barry Rubin writes: Only days before parliamentary elections, Egypt is in a huge crisis whose outcome will determine the...
Barack Obama flopped it in NH when he was heckled during a speech: 'A lot of the folks who have been down in New York and all across the country, in the Occupy movement, there is a profound sense of frustration,' he said. 'There is a...
Last night Newt Gingrich addressed the issue of whether to deport people who are in the country illegally but have deep roots in the community over long periods of time. The issue of deportation is quite distinct from a so-called "pathway to citizenship." The Romney campaign...

We've already documented how wind power subsidies take from the windless to give to the winded, and some problems when the wind blows too much.
