Is this a parody video or a glimpse of America circa 2015 if Obama is reelected? Either way, its pretty funny (and scary). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EZQvSCGaJI Reminder: The above video was based on true events...
Don't expect it, even though there is good polling news today for Romney-Ryan, as detailed at Hot Air: Welcome to October! Today must be Poll Day, as media groups try to determine the lay of the land ahead of the first debate on Wednesday. The new...
In 2005, then University of Chicago Law School Assistant Professor Lea Krivinskas (now at Loyola Univ. - Chicago Law), wrote a paper for the American Bankruptcy Law Journal, titled 'Don't File!': Rehabilitating Unauthorized Practice of Law-Based Policies in the Credit Counseling Industry (free download here).

Amy Bishop, who shot up her colleagues at the University of Alabama, was one in a long line of violent criminals the MSM and left-blogpshere immediately tagged as a Tea Partier without any basis. My post at the time, Inevitable “Tea Party” and “Amy Bishop” Link Attempt: There is...
The battle between Lee Anderson and John Barrow for the fate of Georgia’s 12th Congressional district is under way and it appears that the race is going to be a tight one. This is on the Operation Counterweight final list. After a protracted primary battle,...
It's very difficult in Ithaca or Rhode Island to get a sense of how the presidential contest is playing out. Because both New York and Rhode Island are sure winners for Obama, there is virtually no advertising on television in these markets for the presidential race. ...
"a discussion with the likes of Brad DeLong is not productive"
I figured that out a long time ago. But now my friends Larry Ribstein, Jonathan Adler, JW Verret, and Todd Henderson have figured it out too. I won't bother you with the merits of the argument, because you can't have an argument--let alone a conversation--with someone with Delong's consistent pattern of, as Adler puts it, "selective editing" and misrepresenting his opponent's positions. To quote Adler again, "Yes, this is the same Professor DeLong who repeats baseless accusations against other academics and then, when asked to substantiate his charges, selectively edits his comment threads and then dissembles about said editing when called on it." I believe it was George Bernard Shaw who said "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it." Hence, I agree with Larry that "a discussion with the likes of Brad DeLong is not productive." With luck, this'll be the last time his toxic style of intellectual thuggery and execrable personality will be mentioned in these pages.

I recommend that people view Jacobson's posts with skepticism.... For example, Jacobson's very first post says "Warren’s Texas Bar information indicates she is not eligible to be licensed in Texas." In fact, she holds Texas bar membership and has been paying dues, as an inactive member. If she were not eligible to practice, upon payment of the higher dues required of active members, those very words -- "Not Eligible To Practice in Texas" -- would appear on her profile page as it now does for others.Hmmm. I have been meticulous in the facts I have reported about Warren. It is true that Warren now is shown as "inactive" and has been inactive since 1992, a fact reported by Rob Eno the other day. So where did I get the idea that Warren was "not eligible"? In my original post, I didn't include a screen shot of Warren's entry, just a link to the Texas Bar page which now says "inactive". But I did take a screen shot prior to my first post, I just didn't include it in the post. Here is the screen shot taken on September 21 showing that Warren was listed as "Not Eligible To Practice In Texas":
I did not take a screen shot of the "click for detail" link on this page, unfortunately.
But here's what the same page looks like now using the same link:
In the time period since my first post appeared, Warren's status on the Texas Bar page changed. And address information has been removed.
As long time readers know, I have been searching for a unified theory of race card players. It seems too simplistic to view people like Chris Matthews as liars. It's not that they lie about facts, it's that facts are irrelevant. Everything becomes racist or at least...
Just after the Benghazi attack on our consulate and the murder of four Americans, including our ambassador to Libya, I explained in a post titled Lack of Intelligence Community why I blamed our nation’s intelligence apparatus and not the White House for this colossal failure. Now...

Ignorance? Apathy? Mediocrity? All of the above? In a video taken outside a Romney rally, one Obama supporter shares why he won't vote for Romney. Pay close attention, because this is what happens when nearly every mainstream media outlet in the country is in the tank...
Every time some prudish librarian or school board wants to ban books that they consider inappropriate for children, elites sniff at the rubes’ lack of sophistication and anti-intellectual bias. As you’ll recall, during the 2008 election it became a big campaign issue that as mayor...
