"Bombastic" is Ann Coulter's favorite new word in attacking Newt Gingrich. (irony noted) Coulter was on O'Reilly last night lambasting Newt as "bombastic" with no policy accomplishments. Mark Levin, no supporter of Newt, has come to his defense, much as Andrew McCarthy dissented from National Review's hit...
The more Obama pushes class warfare, the more people reject class warfare. That's certainly not what I expected. It's the counter-indicator effect. If he's for it, the opposite will happen. Perhaps he should announce an Unemployment Plan instead of a Jobs Plan. It's another one of those...
Take one Bibi a Day and you will feel better. The Prime Minister of the Jewish State doesn't seem to feel the need to stick to Happy Generic Holiday which happens to arrive in late December every year and is not the one invented in the 1960s. It's a...
I didn't see this in the Time Person of the Year story, but then again, I didn't read it. From John Hawkins: ...
As I pointed out the other day, National Review demeaned itself and its many talented writers by going overboard in its attempt to demonize Newt Gingrich, including a cover which should live in conservative infamy. Newt as crazy outer-space martian is what passes for analysis at...
The first snowfall in Ithaca so far this year. Gingrich poses an asymmetrical threat to Obama. Isn't that how you fight an opponent which is better funded and better organized? All those commentators at The Washington Examiner who hate Newt because he was a "lobbyist" in reality if...
I'm just getting this feeling: A life of perpetual opposition....
I'm not going to argue with the owner of this car. But I think the quote is: "I have a right to nothing which another has a right to take away." -- Thomas Jefferson to Uriah Forrest, 1787. Papers, 12:477. I could be wrong. Did Jefferson use...
You know I have a big problem with Michele Bachmann making statements which are not supported by facts and then repeating them endlessly. Her campaign is up to much worse in South Carolina, where her local campaign manager has suggested that the Gingrich campaign has paid...

Time Magazine named "The Protester" as Person of the Year, which in the United States was represented by the Occupy Wall Street movement. Which generated this Tweet of the Day: ...
Michele Bachmann pretty much ended Tim Pawlenty's campaign. Bachman attacked Pawlenty relentlessly and took the Iowa straw poll, causing Pawlenty (foolishly, in hindsight) to withdraw. In so doing, Bachmann eliminated the person who was the most viable not-Romney establishment candidate, a former Governor with a good, conservative record...
How disgusting and politically corrupt is the Washington Post? This disgusting and politically corrupt (h/t Ed Morrissey). WaPo runs this headline, FBI considered a sting aimed at Newt Gingrich in 1997, accompanied by an ominous super-close up of Gingrich: Sounds pretty bad. Even if not charged, Newt must...

Governor Scott Walker is facing a massive recall effort mounted by national unions and Democrats looking to take out a leading Republican. It appears that enough signatures have been gathered to force a recall election in the spring. Walker will win if Wisconsin voters have a...
