A ringing endorsement of Rick Perry from Kinky Friedman, with as many laughs per square inch as any endorsement I have ever seen (emphasis mine): I have been quoted as saying that when I die, I am to be cremated, and the ashes are to be thrown in...

Wisconsin Justice Ann Walsh Bradley accused Justice David Prosser of using an illegal "chokehold" on her.  At the time, I pointed out that if the charge was not sustained, and Bradley falsely had accused Prosser of using a potentially life threatening "chokehold," Bradley needed to step...

Steve Jobs is stepping down as CEO of Apple, likely for good. What a lesson Apple holds.  I've never bought an Apple computer or "device" (although I did get an iPod as a gift), but I'll never forget my amazement in law school in the early 1980s...

John Conyers (D-Mich), via The Hill, talking about West Virginia: “There’s a big campaign going on about how you clean coal, and we want to examine that as critically and fairly as we can, but here’s the problem: I’ve been to West Virginia, and that’s about...

Rudy famously waited too long in 2008, by skipping Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, assuming he would win big in Florida.  He didn't, because by the time the primaries arrived in Florida, Rudy was an also ran. Back in July I suggested that Mitt Romney...

It's not often I thank Think Progress, but thanks for this video interview of Allen West on the issue of Obama foreign policy in Libya and the Middle East.  Think Progress, with its videographer following West on his trip to Israel, figured they'd get good...

Someone created a faux Paul Krugman Google+ account and posted the following: People on twitter might be joking, but in all seriousness, we would see a bigger boost in spending and hence economic growth if the earthquake had done more damage. The message sent out on Twitter...

What a guy.  He not only saved Nancy Reagan when she was falling, he also gave a speech  on the role of government which should be remembered as the kick off of the Marco Rubio for President campaign, we just don't know what year yet. Update: ...

I posted on Saturday about Alumni Resignations at Widener Law School In Wake of Connell Case. I noted that Widener had confirmed that "[a] member of the Board of Overseers for the School of Law and a member of the School of Law Campaign Subcommittee have...

Thanks to reader Michael for the photo of a car he spotted in Melbourne, Florida. What is it about Melbourne, Florida?  ...

How could I not. Twitter is abuzz.  My tweets have been momentous and perceptive.  Not to mention prescient:   Did anything actually happen? Update:  The President is safe: ...

I was right when I said Republicans should take the debt deal, as bad as it was, because otherwise any negative consequences would provide Obama an excuse for his own failures. And I was right. Polling in the three weeks since the deal was announced has shown...

You doubted she would, after working for The Wall Street Journal in London. But it is to be. Mark your calendars for September 6....

When they say Boycott Divest and Sanction Israel, they don't really mean it.  Those are just code words for Destroy Israel. Below is a video of a demonstration in London as part of the BDS(D) movement, via @EliLake, who notes At the link is this image: And this video. ...

It's close to over, as prosecutors have moved to dismiss the indictment finding the alleged victim to be truth-challenged: When they moved Monday to drop the biggest case on  their docket, the woman was portrayed as its fatal weakness. She "has not been  truthful on matters great...

You know how much Obama loves windmills, and how overblown is the future of wind power. In Britain they have been pushing wind power far harder and longer than we have, and it is turning into a fiasco of subsidies from the windless masses to the winded-gentry. Anthony...

Contrary to rebel claims, Saif al-Islam, son and heir apparent of Moammar al-Qaddafi, has not been captured and is free and talking to reporters in Tripoli. Video was shown on Fox News and CNN of Saif al-Islam at a hotel in Tripoli.  Saif claimed that a "trap"...
