This strikes me as more significant than Pawlenty for Romney, because it represents the future of the Republican Party coming out for Perry, whereas Pawlenty in many ways represented the past.  Via CNN: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is backing Rick Perry for president, a major endorsement...

The attacks on 9/11 separated the real heroes from the fake heroes. The Fake hero who comforted the grieving and raised a nation's spirits: The Fake hero who kept a city together: The Real Hero who walked barefoot over broken windows: It seems almost in bad taste to talk about dollars...

In a post at NRO, praising Romney without bashing other Republican candidates: But he’s not only a family man, he is a man of principle. He believes in the bedrock conservative ideals of limited government and free enterprise. He will stand up for America’s allies when they...

You could work hard and be happy. I'm certainly not against that. But if you really want to accomplish the goal of this bumper sticker, just keep commemorating 9/11. That annoys Paul Krugman and his many friends in the left-blogosphere more than anything. And if you weren't happy before,...

The Financial District is on lockdown this morning, as one would expect on the anniversary of any act of war that attracts thousands to pay their respects where their loved ones died. A lot of my friends in the city have been posting their reflections...

Paul Krugman has a shameful column today, shameful even by Krugman standards. Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued? Actually, I don’t think it’s me, and it’s not really that odd. What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the right...

Memory is a strange thing. There are many things I remember about the attacks on 9/11/01:  The first announcement when I was at my desk in Providence that a "small plane" had hit the World Trade Center, the announcement of a second "small plane" and then...

This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain: I know, I know, you've heard it all before.  Broken dreams and shattered hopes that the use of the race card for political gain would not get any worse.  But I...

I'm sure that by "fight back" they don't literaly mean "fight" back, it's just a turn of phrase.  Like "take these son of bitches out," words, just words. And when it comes to the pension system in Rhode Island, which is on the brink of collapse, "fight...

As I have mentioned before, I wind up in New York most weekends and this one is no exception. I'm staying in the Financial District, as I usually do, where there has been a particularly eerie spell cast over the streets. Cops are patrolling the...

What is going on in Egypt was all foreseeable to those of us who did not harbor the romantic view of the Arab Spring, which in many places was just a venting of anti-Semitism and hatred of Israel which had been suppressed by dictatorial rulers.  Just ask Lara...

Via NRO, Anti-Israel Durban Declaration Reaffirmed: On Thursday, Western negotiators at the U.N. caved in to the demands of envoys from Islamic states to renew a modern-day form of the decades-long U.N. smear campaign alleging that the Jewish state is racist. Diplomats agreed on a new...
