Today's hashtag is #downgrade. There were may good tweets to choose from, but I picked this winner: ...
Barack Obama read a statement today, my paraphrases and quick transcription: Disputes downgrade. Quotes Warren Buffett that U.S. should have AAAA rating. Need "balanced long term approach" -- needed "day I took office." Blames "prolonged debate over debt ceiling" for downgrade, and string...
Today is the 10th anniversary of the first blog post at Instapundit. The first week of Instaposts are here. While we frequently wish bloggers happy blogoversaries, Instapundit really deserves thanks. It's hard to imagine where the conservative blogosphere would be without Instalanches, and the support of Prof. Glenn...
You probably have no idea what I'm talking about. Victory Day, formerly known as VJ Day, formerly known as Victory Over Japan Day, no longer is celebrated anywhere in the U.S. except in my home State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. It is celebrated the second...
Matt Lewis at The Daily Caller argues that taking a compromise deal allowed Republicans to avoid blame for the S&P downgrade (although David Axelrod and John Kerry are claiming otherwise) and any other negative consequences: In the few days since the debt ceiling was raised, the Dow has...

... the owner of this vehicle. Saw this in the parking lot of a local supermarket in Rhode Island: Update: One LI reader took the post title as an insult, believing that I was referring to Texans and the car owner as idiots (which is how the...
Consider this just an ideas open thread. Keep it clean, children could be reading. I'll start: There is a deep sadness at the loss of members of SEAL Team 6. Every soldier is valuable and mourned, but this tragedy seems to be special. Updates: This chart from Division...
This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain: It never ends. The attempt to turn disagreement with the policies of the Obama administration into a racial issue. In the past weeks, as there was a dispute over raising the...
