Check out the Cornell Chronicle article about my Tea Party talk, Law professor's talk on the Tea Party triggers heated debate. Could they possibly have picked a worse photo?  Thankfully, they didn't serve corn dogs at the event. Related Posts:  “… like Thomas Paine and other deep thinkers from...

Via HotAir, Mitt Romney has scored two significant conservative endorsements recently, Jeff Flake and Darrel Issa.  While that may not constitute a coalescing around Romney, it does help insulate him from RINO charges.  Whatever he once was, is he now the conservative who can win? What's up...

Why the Palestinians thought that a diplomatic confrontation with the U.S. was the way to go is inexplicable.  Once again, they overplayed their hand. Did they really buy into Obama's rhetoric from 2009 in Cairo, or earlier this year about the Arab Spring?  In part, a...

Not able to get to posting this afternoon, so tell me what's on your minds. (Maybe, what do you think about bloggers from other blogs trolling the comment section here?  Just a hypo, no one particular in mind.)...

Obama gave a good speech today at the U.N. on the Israel-Palestinian conflict: President Barack Obama told a meeting  of the United Nations General Assembly Wednesday that Mideast peace “will  not come through statements and resolutions” by the world body, arguing against  a proposed resolution calling...

I get Presseurope, a roundup of translated opinion pieces from the EU, sent to my email. For the most part, the newsletter is incredibly informative. For instance, I had no idea that someone could honestly think that the Greeks deserved pity...

It's all about the natural gas and Erdogan's ego: Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan described offshore gas drilling by estranged ally Israel and Cyprus as "madness" on Wednesday, raising the stakes in a confrontation over potentially huge deposits in the eastern Mediterranean...
