The use of drone strikes has been expanded dramatically under Obama. The personal involvement of the President in the intimate details of targeting and kill lists is new to this administration.

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 24, 2012 35 Comments

I know I sound like a broken record. Everytime I think the Democratic race card players could not get more vile, more deranged, more patronizingly demeaning to blacks, someone manages to defy even my vivid imagination. This time, it is the Editorial Board of The Washington Post,...

Just applying a little election year anti-Republican logic to the Black Friday union protests against Wal-Mart, which mostly were a fizzle. Via Lachlan Markay's Storify entry. It's hard keeping up with all the emerging social media tools; Storify is just another thing which, while probably useful, makes...

Dear generator-owning homeowners, do not invite Nick Kristof over next time there is a hurricane

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 24, 2012 43 Comments

I'm still waiting for Nick Kristof of the NY Times to write a column explaining away the rising dictatorship by his beloved Arab Spring. Until then, we have to suffer through a mind-numbing series of non-sequiturs in which the decline in marginal tax rates over the...
