Anthony Weiner is being rehabilitated in preparation for a run for Mayor of New York City.

When a popular Democratic politician leaves office under the cloud of scandal and disgrace,...
Had I but world enough and time, I would write something original about the sickeningly stupid argument that the Tobacco industry and Koch brothers began planning for the Tea Party movement over a decade ago and long before anyone had even thought up the Stimulus and Obamacare legislation which actually sparked...
There’s no Saturday Night Card Game tonight.
I was going to write about some “Neo-Confederate” idiocy by a pretend lawyer who happens to be quite obsessed with me over at the liberal blog Glenn Greenwald calls ” a cesspool of unprincipled partisan hackdom.” When you are a liberal blog and Glenn Greenwald calls you those names, you...
Marco Rubio is on the short list of Republican presidential contenders for 2016. Of course, that’s a long way away, so who knows if he remains on the short list.
So Rubio’s a target even more so than in the past couple of years. Every question in every interview is a potential...
Just when you thought it could not get any worse.
MoveOn.org and Michael Moore have produced a video which is beyond description.
Can we just declare MoveOn a mental illness so it can be covered (under Obamacare, of course).
Video (h/t NRO) NSFW (language warning):
Makes the creepy singing children and Lena Dunham...
Noted University of California – Berkeley economist J. Bradford DeLong has figured out why Mitt Romney is so far ahead in the Gallup tracking poll of likely voters.
His theory is that Obama supporters like him are only now figuring out where to vote, so they do not pass Gallup’s likely voter screen. Apparently,...
It truly is hard to overstate the joy on the left with Obama’s horses and bayonets “zinger” last night.
This summary at HuffPo reflected...
I really sense that Obama supporters are losing it, completely. I sense fear in their stupidity.
After Big Bird and the contrived “binder” fauxtroversy, they have a new cause: Tagg Romney threatened to take a swing at Obama when Obama called Tagg’s father a liar.
Of course, the entire quote makes clear this...
The class clown of the academic internet is beclowning again; must be he’s upset with my investigation into Elizabeth Warren so he attacks the only way he knows how. Rather than address the merits, he picks a three and one-half year old post of mine and calls me names. Class act.
So I thought...
We have had an epidemic problem of violence directed at people perceived as insulting Islam stretching back over 30 years. That violence is part of a greater Islamist and Jihadist struggle against the West, and encompasses attacks on Christians, Jews and other religious minorities throughout the Middle East.
Sometimes the violence does not...
It’s November 7. Barack Obama has won. The Republican presidential strategy has failed. The media is jubilant. The right-blogosphere is going through a serious introspection. The left-blogosphere is dancing on our graves and shoving it down our throats. Four years of fighting the Obama agenda was for nothing.
Oh, I’m sorry. Let me...
Whether the pick of Paul Ryan for Veep was a good pick or a bad pick or something in between is irrelevant at this point.
Ryan was the pick.
The left-wing writers and bloggers are all over it, portraying the pick as extremist and a cave to the Tea Party and far right,...
We’re making progress, of sorts. Not everyone jumped in with Brian Ross and ABC News in trying to link Colorado shooter James Holmes to the Tea Party.
One left-wing blogger quickly wrote that he did not suspect a Tea Party connection because, in his view, a real wingnut would have targeted a m...
Why this is borderline … well you know … fiscal responsibility. There’s nothing worse than that.
From Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stoner, Romney’s ‘Free Stuff’ Speech Is a New Low
Wow. If you live long enough, you’ll see some truly gross things in politics, but Mitt Romney’s work this past week “courting black...
Last week, David Bernstein of The Boston Phoenix launched a broadside against what he termed the “right-wing smear machine” coming to get Elizabeth Warren, which I highlighted in my post Right wing smear machine to blame for Elizabeth Warren’s Cherokee problem (again).
