Tonight I’m speaking at the Cornell Club in New York City, similar to my talk last year arguing that “the Tea Party movement has been among the most influential and most positive forces in American politics in a generation.”
The lecture this time is on a somewhat less controversial topic:
In this presentation,...
I had the pleasue of spending a full hour on the radio with Dan Rea at WBZ 1030 (CBS Boston), a true superstation that covers all of New England and into New York.
Dan made a point during the hour that character matters, and that Elizabeth Warren’s character is a legitimate issue.
I had a...
High school teacher Debbie Polhemus took her own stand against free speech yesterday when she covered pro-Israel advertisements in a Washington, D.C, metro station with yellow sticky notes. Polhemus was not arrested or cited for vandalism.
In a similarly convoluted line of reasoning to New York subway attacker Mona Eltahawy, Polhemus was...
It doesn’t particularly matter who does, just as long as he’s mentioned.
Perhaps Joe Biden will think he can get a jab in at the Romney campaign for threatening to cut the funding to PBS. Or maybe Paul Ryan will choose to bring it up sua sponte. Either way, I hope it’s...
Clearly Americans for Prosperity has been doing their deep-values research. Because the innovative video they released Friday, “The Dinner Table,” hits exactly the right emotions in a remarkably effective piece depicting the traditional family dinner table scene.
Only in this new American scene, not a word is spoken, and the tension is...
Another post which cannot wait for the Saturday Night Card Game.
Mark Lamont Hill, The 15 Most Overrated White People:

Since the presidential debate last week I’ve been trying to remember where I saw this movie before, as it were—where a man considered a member of the elite, the cognoscenti, whose brilliance is considered by millions of admirers to be self evident and unimpeachable, got his clock thoroughly cleaned by someone...
This is a GUEST POST by Matt J. Farley, an attorney in New Orleans, LA.
The post was submitted at my request after noticing a comment Matt left in response to my post Elizabeth Warren helped protect Dow Chemical against breast implant claims. The comment disputed that Elizabeth Warren had accurately described...

We have featured The Iveys before to a very good reader reaction.
The band members are the cousins of LI reader, photographer (also, here, here) and West Texas correspondent Danelle, who also happens to be one of the first to email me whenever I get a national media reference, usually in real time.
Danelle’s children and...
I know a woman who immediately covers her ears when the topic gets to Obama and what he’s done wrong and what he hasn’t done right. She doesn’t believe any of the things she accidentally overhears and accuses me of making it up. “Where do you get your news from?” I...
As you are aware, I have pointed out that Michael Fredrickson, the General Counsel of the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers, has some explaining to do:
As detailed here before, within hours of my posting about Elizabeth Warren’s lack of a Massachusetts law license, Michael Fredrickson, the General Counsel of the Massachusetts...
Jim Lehrer has come under fire after his perhaps overly relaxed approach to moderating during last week’s presidential debate.
