one op-ed today, I hope it is Mary O'Grady's column in the Wall Street Journal: "Big Labor's Yanqui Imperialism." On the face of it, the National Labor Relations Board's effort to block a new Boeing plant slated for the right-to-work state of South Carolina seems like...

I came across an interesting post this morning on the Journal's Numbers Guy blog. I think we all have a tendency to think of al Qaeda as a large force, certainly they've been difficult to track down, but how big is the organization? From the print...

Five days ago Obama unveiled a "jobs plan" which included tax hikes of $467 billion, $400 billion of which were on individuals making $200,000 (and couples making $250,000).

Carl at Israel Matzav has given Mahmoud Abbas, aka Abu Mazen, the nickame "Abu Bluff." The trip by Abbas to the U.N. this week ostensibly to obtain recognition of a Palestinian state is another bluff. Abbas doesn't even have the support of his own people, as Hamas which controls...
