Scott Brown didn’t see the forest for the trees in deciding to support Chris Dodd and Barney Frank’s financial reform legislation.

Hmmm…
July 11, 2010 … I’m beyond chuffed to note that both Dave [Weigel] and David [Frum] have kindly agreed to guest-blog this next week while I take a short break. Underbloggers Patrick Appel and Chris Bodenner will be chipping in as usual. See you in a week’s time. Be polite to...

This guy is openly 180-degrees opposed to the purpose and/or ideological orientation of the blog. Whatever you’re for, he’s against, and vice-versa. If you’re doing a free-market blog about tax policy, he’s yelling that tax cuts are evil, “globalization” is...

It’s beginning to feel like the hot August of 2009, again.
You can feel it. A growing discontent with the top-down, big government, free-spending, patronizing, arrogant ways of Washington, D.C.

What kicked off the hotly debated town halls of last summer was...
The NAACP just passed a resolution condemning as racist the tens of millions of people who consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement.
As originally proposed, the resolution was to call upon “all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties, and to stand in opposition to...
Harry Reid has a failed record on Iraq for which he never has been held accountable. Reid voted for the war, then falsely claimed he was misled, then tried to defund the war, then declared the war lost, and then stubbornly refused to acknowledge the success of the surge after it...
The headlines regarding The Washington Post-ABC News poll just released focus on the finding that Confidence In Obama Reaches New Low.

In an upcoming issue of The Weekly Standard, Bill Kristol pens an editorial in which he argues that while “we are not not now quite at a founding moment, or even a re-founding moment,” we are approaching a point of political crisis which will be a “decisive moment for the country.”

Is it time for a Bumper Stickers from Hell contest? Would there be a better name for the contest?

Nicholas Kristoff has found the answer to traditional Palestinian suicide bombers, hijackers, and hostage takers: A non-violent movement led by Palestinian women.
But for now, Kristoff finds it’s still a dream, because it depends on what the meaning of “non-violence” is.
