Dems’ Jewish Vote Freakout May Lead Them Into A Trap

Posted by Matthew Knee on September 15, 2011 8 Comments

As Drudge aggressively teased all day yesterday, the front page of today's New York Times reports that in light of the Republican upset in NY-9, the Democratic Party is redoubling its efforts to woo Jewish voters, and plans a coordinated pushback on Israel issues. I say...

NY Times review: Yeah, Joe McGinniss is a sleaze

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 15, 2011 20 Comments

Yesterday The National Enquirer and the blog equivalents (Wonkette, Gawker, TBogg) ran two hot button headlines about Sarah Palin based on a preview of a book written by creepy stalker Joe McGinniss. You know the allegations, so it's not worth repeating (see Robert Stacy McCain's...

But who do we vote in?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 14, 2011 10 Comments

We've been there before, a $5 raffle for a chance to have dinner with the President of the United States. The $5 doesn't go to the government to help pay down debt, it goes to Obama's campaign. It's a way to gin up the "small donor"...

Teapot Solyndra, Part 2

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 14, 2011 14 Comments

When I dubbed the nascent Solyndra scandal "Teapot Solyndra" in memory of the Teapot Dome Scandal, I worried that I might be getting ahead of myself. But with this administration, it's hard to get ahead of oneself. Fearing the worst usually is the safest bet. And that worst fear seems...

I know you wanted the Official Legal Insurrection Victory Dance, or at least a little celebratory dance. But as mentioned earlier in the night, this district was heavily Jewish and Asian, so we will go to song: And Tweet of Night: Turner speech -- Mr. President, people are...

Weprin Camp Conducts Phony “Jews 4 Jesus 4 Turner” Voter Suppression Calls

Ace reports: You know what Jews really don't like? Jews for Jesus. I have a lot of Jewish friends, and they almost all go banana-sandwich over this. They don't like the invitation to conversion. They do react as if what is being discussed is nearly a hate-crime...

Wisconsin unions start feeding on each other

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 13, 2011 45 Comments

Let’s Get Real On Constitutional Amendments – And Stop Promising Them

Posted by Matthew Knee on September 13, 2011 11 Comments

Constitutional amendments are oddly popular these days in Republican circles: A Federal Marriage Amendment, a Balanced Budget Amendment, and a constitutional amendment banning abortion have all been part of either congressional proposals or presidential candidate promises. This is a mistake. Controversial issues such gay marriage, abortion,...
