As noted the other day, Hostess is seeking lidquidation of its operations rather than trying to emerge out of bankruptcy as a going concern because it could not negotiate the union concessions it said it needed. But there may be a White Knight on the...

October has been a month full of good news for Mia Love. The Operation Counterweight member running for Congress in Utah’s newly created 4th Congressional District has faced an uphill battle since she entered the race. She began her campaign in the Republican primary with...

This has got to be the worst, most misguided initiative since Jim Crow—and if you’re a eugenicist, a Klansman, or just a garden-variety bigot, you’re popping champagne corks. The Florida State Board of Education passed a plan that sets goals for students in math and...

Via The Free Beacon, an Elizabeth Warren surrogate appeared on the Ed Show. What’s interesting is not just that the surrogate still insists that Warren has Native American heritage, but that Ed pushed her on it and basically says to fess up: SCHULTZ: Wait a...

“Go back to jonesing for Sarrahcudda, Christine, and all the other intellectual lightweights that are taking over what used to be a decent political party.” (no Google searches allowed) Update:  No one is close, so far.  While it really doesn’t matter who said it, it is...

Janet Daley at The Telegraph in Britain (h/t POWIP) has an interesting column on anti-Americanism in Europe, and how the Europeans just don’t understand why we feel so strongly about our Constitution and personal freedoms. Daley makes some good points, but I particularly liked this portion of...

In what should go down in internet history as one of the most embarrassingly misleading posts, John Nichols of The Nation authored an article titled “GOP Know-Nothings Fought Pandemic Preparedness.” The joke was on Nichols, because Nichols and the nutroots bloggers who ran with his...

A bill pending in Congress, The Cybersecurity Act of 2009, sponsored by John Rockefeller (D) and Olympia Snowe (R) attempts to deal with very real threats to the nation’s cyber-infrastructure. Attacks on military, government and civilian cyber-infrastructure are all too real, and it is time...
