A friend writes: I'm sure you've been following Romney's latest flip-flop, in which he supported Kasich's anti-union initiative in June but today traveled to Ohio and claimed he wasn't familiar with the referendum.  It's just too much.  The guy disgusts me, and frankly I just don't...

Thanks to reader Glenn who spotted this in Woodlands, Texas, and sent me an e-mail with the subject line "Is dissent still patriotic?": Spotted while stopped at a red light in the Woodlands, TX. The driver went on to turn left (go figure.) I'm sure these are...

Traveling all day, now in Palm Desert, CA.  Because there's almost no way to get there from central New York, we ended up flying into Orange County airport and driving.  Along the way we saw these windfarms -- Obama would so proud: From some sneak peeks...

Arnold Kling struck a great chord in a recent post on EconLog: From the perspective of a macroeconomic textbook, journalists write as if the aggregate supply curve is nearly vertical with respect to monetary policy and nearly horizontal for fiscal policy. 1. You would be rich if...

Walter Shapiro on the risk that the GOP Just Might Nominate [Herman Cain] a Candidate Patently Unqualified to Be President: This is how presidential vetting traditionally works. The press pack pounces on the logical fallacies in a candidate’s positions and the shakiness of his resume. Party...

John Podesta, former Clinton ally and confidant, built the Center for American Progress -- which runs Think Progress -- into a potent, misleading and devious message machine in favor of the Obama administration. Podesta is stepping down, and is being replaced by Neera Tanden, a former Obama...

TaxProf is out with the rankings of law professor blogs for the trailing 12 months as of September 30, 2011, and we are no. 3 both for page views and visits.  (Note: Instapundit is not included since its stats are not public, so really we're...

This ad by the Cain campaign is being called one of the worst political ads ever. I disagree. Sure it's different.  I'm at the airport this morning, and a female anchor on CNN previewed the ad by saying, "I don't know what it means!"  But we're talking...

Or at least, not fast and furiously. Thanks to reader Ric who spotted this bumper sticker earlier this week in Sterling, VA: ...

The Rick Perry campaign gets a much needed reorganization,  but does this advice hold, Perry shuffles campaign team: The first thing [Joe] Allbaugh ought to do is send Perry to Dallas to apologize for badmouthing W. all over the country. I believe that we will see...

Another day, another failed Obama attempt to dominate Twitter with a campaign-inspired hastag (see, #attackwatch). This time the hastag is #WeCantWait as in "we can't wait" for Republicans to approve whatever half-baked scheme Obama wants to push through Congress to prove that he is the "jobs...

Several readers have called my attention to the National Popular Vote movement, through which various states would agree to vote their electors as a block based upon the winner of the national popular vote: Under the U.S. Constitution, the states have exclusive and plenary (complete) power...

Today in London:  Conservative rebels pushing for an in-or-out referendum on Europe are riding the tide of public opinion, according to a Guardian/ICM poll. Some 70% of voters want a vote on Britain's EU membership, and by a substantial nine-point margin respondents say they would use it to...

As mentioned earlier, the Obama administration and media are touting Gaddafi's overthrow as a great foreign policy victory. But Gaddafi's body has hardly gone cold, and Libya already has a strict Islamist government, see all the links at Memeorandum.  Andrew Sullivan also rounds up some of the...

Creating a centralized electronic medical record is one of the primary goals of the Obama administration (and Bush before that, although not funded) under the theory that a centralized record will lead to greater efficiencies. Don't worry, your centralized medical records will be safe. Unless, of course, someone working...
