Large law firms. Oh sure, they'll give thousands of pro bono hours fighting for the rights of Gitmo detainees, but remember why they are Large law firms. They have Large corporate clients including Large Banks and Large Investment Banks and Large Broker-Dealers who pay them Large Legal Fees so they...

Been in the car all morning. What did I miss? Herman Cain black enough for Lawrence O'Donnell yet? Kathleen Parker and David Frum mourning the loss of their sole source of attention? #OccupyWallStreet? Tell me what I need to know....

David Frum: Already Almost Forgotten

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 07, 2011 7 Comments

What is David Frum going to do now that Sarah Palin is not running? What linguistic stunts can he pull to drive traffic to his website? Who is he going to call a grifter and con artist in order to make himself feel relevant and edgy,...

“Time to repost Steal This Country?”

This is the second time this week a reader has e-mailed me referencing one of my early blog posts, the first being “I still remember your ‘death to the Kulaks’ post from a while back!” Thanks to a reader from Seattle who e-mailed me last night...

I support the 3rd Amendment, and I vote

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 07, 2011 10 Comments

There have been over 200 bumper sticker posts since the first post on June 24, 2010. We have covered the 1st, 2nd and 10th Amendments numerous times, but never the 3rd Amendment. You know, the one that says, umm, you know, yeah I took Con Law...

Lawrence O’Donnell lectures Herman Cain on how to be black in the segregated South

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 06, 2011 42 Comments

This is possibly the most offensive interview sequence I've ever seen. Lawrence O'Donnell lectures and snidely criticized Herman Cain, who was a minor when Rosa Parks refused to sit in the back of the bus in 1955 and in high school for the desegregation fights in the...

Mark this day in the annals of Senate nuclear warfare

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 06, 2011 22 Comments

I'll admit I don't understand all the intricacies of the U.S. Senate Rules, but moments ago Harry Reid pulled the "nuclear option" in order to prevent Republicans from forcing Senate Democrats to vote on Obama's jobs bill. As reported by The Hill (h/t Marathon Pundit): In a shock...

They are narrowing the targets for intimidation

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 06, 2011 24 Comments

The anti-1% street agitation is the fulfillment of a process we have seen unfold since Obama's 2008 campaign, a process by which a group of various definitions of wealth is isolated and targeted for demagoguery. It was the Top 5%, then the Top 2%, now it's...

Dear Mitt, did you ever own a rock?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 06, 2011 15 Comments

The smear is long gone from the front pages, but will live on forever in Rick Perry's campaign: “I know for a fact that in 1984, that rock was painted over. It was painted over very soon, my family did that.” Silly you, Rick, you thought WaPo...

How can I support a candidate when I can’t stand other supporters of the candidate?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 06, 2011 42 Comments

It's the age-old question. And it is not a theoretical question, as you know from recent experience here, because if I followed that line of thinking religiously, multiple remaining candidates would be crossed off my list. For example, David Frum is supporting Mitt Romney. But Frum has spent...

#OccupyWhiteHouse2012 – The hashtag for the rest of us

The silent majority. The ones who pay the bills, and the taxes, and the tuitions, and the pensions, and the benefits, for the people who falsely claim to be the 99%. The ones who did not graduate from the school of perpetual expectations and handouts. The ones who...

#OccupyWallStreet has been seized by the very people against whom the protests should be directed

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 06, 2011 28 Comments

Whatever Occupy Wall Street once was long ago (i.e., three weeks ago), the revolution has been seized by big labor, particularly public employee unions, as proudly reported yesterday in left-wing Mother Jones magazine, Occupy Wall Street, Powered by Big Labor: In late September, major labor unions mostly watched...
