Where has "you didn't build that" gone? It was the spark which led to the pre-convention decline by Obama, but the deflection to Romney's Libya statement and secret doctored video has taken it off the table. Get back to it.  It's a winner still. ...

Maybe I should change the name of this series to the Saturday Night Chris Matthews Card Game, since Matthews is such a frequent topic lately. Matthews doesn't, apparently, understand that he was being mocked when Bill Maher asked whether Matthews was overly aggressive in charging racism (via RCP): Bill Maher,...

All the details and links at TaxProf Blog. Short version.  He made a lot, and gave a lot to charity. The interesting part: The campaign also released a statement from PriceWaterhouseCoopers on the Romneys’ tax filings over 20 years, from 1990 – 2009: In each year during the entire 20-year...

This Wednesday, I reported that the media were falsely reporting that Chick-fil-A had decided to cease donations to "anti-gay" groups.
