“another Chicago corruptocrat headed to DC”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on April 09, 2013 8 Comments

Not a big surprise, but when the well-monied Machine candidates win, and a rebel loses, it's always a disappointment. Robin Kelly won the Special Election to replace Jesse Jackson, Jr. by a wide margin. In other words, no real political change, another down the line Democratic party...

Sequester Soul Concert Live

Posted by William A. Jacobson on April 09, 2013 8 Comments

This is too funny. Drudge is live broadcasting the concert at The White House, dubbed Sequester Soul. I don't think I've ever seen Drudge embed a live video. Too bad the children aren't allowed in. You can watch it there, or here [party now over, here are some screenshots]: ...

“Among the many other layers included in the Senate’s 1,500 page proposal”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on April 09, 2013 12 Comments

I already don't like it if they have to say it in 1500 pages, undoubtedly to be followed by 15,000 pages of rules and regulations. Which means the language has been loaded up to avoid it meaning what we think it means, with all sorts of...

What did Mother Jones know about alleged McConnell bugging, and when did it know it?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on April 09, 2013 22 Comments

David Corn of Mother Jones gained fame and awards for obtaining the secretly recorded fundraising tape in which Mitt Romney made the infamous 47% comment. That tape was made by someone in the room and already was posted on the internet, but no one had realized...

Yesterday, Sean Sullivan at Chris Cillizza's The Fix column at The Washington Post ran the following paragraph in a story titled 5 moments that show why Margaret Thatcher mattered in American politics: 5) Spurning Sarah Palin: In 2011, the Guardian newspaper reported that Thatcher would not be meeting...

The Retro Feminist may be The Real Feminist

Posted by Leslie Eastman on April 09, 2013 19 Comments

I have a confession to make: I am a woman who is vexed by today's feminists. For example, just because Margaret Thatcher wasn't a "social justice warrior" as one of the most influential Western leaders during one of the most formative times in the modern era,...

The special election to replace Jesse Jackson, Jr. is Tuesday, and Tuesday we will ascertain what one grassroots campaign, with the help of a few conservative blogs like this one and little else, can do to fight The Machine. We've covered Republican candidate Paul McKinley, who...

Margaret Thatcher destroyed what needed to be destroyed, that place to which we are heading

Posted by William A. Jacobson on April 08, 2013 14 Comments

The reaction to Margaret Thatcher's death is painfully predictable. The right is honoring her service in standing up to socialism and communism at home and abroad, while the left is vilifying her for standing up to socialism and communism at home and abroad. The haters are hating. Others...

Margaret Thatcher and the “oxygen of publicity”

Posted by David Gerstman on April 08, 2013 3 Comments

Earlier today Prof Jacobson noted the passing former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. What I remember most about her was a speech she gave in 1985 to the American Bar Association in which she argued against giving terrorists the "oxygen of publicity." The more open our society,...
