Making points similar to what I have made, this is not the last round.  The Boehner bill for all its flaws puts the runners on base with another batter up in a few months. The Boehner bill, assuming it passes the House today, likely will be rejected...

I knew this was coming.  It only was a matter of time. During a Great American Panel on Hannity tonight John Fund and Hannity were hammering the point that Obama doesn't know how to negotiate in good faith.  One of them mentioned Donald Trump's criticism that...

Not often that I praise Jane Hamsher, but she is right that S&P improperly has injected itself into the political process: Standard and Poors is evidently meeting with high-stakes gamblers and letting them know where to place their bets as they manipulate the global economy. But they...

Wait? He hasn't waited, you say, he's declared and raising more money than anyone else.  He's simply playing the role of presumptive nominee, which explains his seemingly low-key public strategy.  Let other lesser contenders gain TV face time for now, the primaries are a long way off.

Here's the analysis by James Pethokoukoukis (via @irishspy): Now is not time to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Neither the Reid budget plan nor the Boehner budget plan packs the fiscal wallop of Cut, Cap and Balance. But significant progress on cutting...

The past several days have seen a feeding frenzy by the mainstream media and left-blogosphere trying to blame Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer for the murder of dozens of innocents in Norway by Anders Behring Breivik.  It was a horrific crime which deserves universal condemnation. The...
