on July 18, 2011
44 Comments
I'm only able to follow today's debt ceiling posturing and bickering on an infrequent basis. Looks like Repulicans are looking for a single or double, something along the lines of modest spending cuts with no tax increase, with the 2012 presidential election to be the home run...
Why are there homeless people in San Francisco?
on July 18, 2011
47 Comments
As you know, I'm visiting here. And one thing I've noticed is that there are quite a few homeless people. Why are the people of San Francisco so heartless? They must all be Tea Party supporters. Why don't the politicians here care about the poor? They must be Republicans. How can...
Is there a place for me?

Apparently not, according to John Hawkins, The slow, painful death of the independent, conservative blogosphere: Sure, there were a few outliers that took off: Hot Air, Redstate, and the Breitbart empire for example, but most conservative blogs have either grown insignificantly, stayed the same size, or...

Remember when Barack Obama tried to convince us he had "changed the way campaigns are funded," inspiring the ubiquitous everyman to donate $15 or $20? Yeah...
Islamist-Leftist Anti-Israel Coalition in … Tunisia

I have written often about the willingness of Islamists and Leftists to cooperate when it comes to an anti-Israel agenda. That coalition has expanded its base from Europe and the United States to the birthplace of the Arab Spring: Early this month, the authority in charge...

If you're wondering why things have been a little slow here, I'm in San Francisco visiting my daughter, who lives near this very tourist-y shot I took at Alamo Sq. Park: If I don't get some really good bumper sticker shots here, I'm going to demand my money...

I don't talk much about law schools here. I try not to bring work home, so to speak. But this article at The New York Times, Law School Economics: Ka-Ching!, is generating a lot of buzz: WITH apologies to show business, there’s no business like the business...
So tell me about South Sudan

I admit it, I haven't been following the break-up of The Sudan. But now there is a South Sudan, and it isn't your father's Sudan. Among other things, South Sudan will be quick to establish relations with Israel: South Sudan, already recognised by Israel, will forge relations with...

This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain: No, the topic tonight is not Sheila Jackson Lee's comment that people are complaining about raising the debt limit only because Obama is black. That is so obviously foolish,...

Taking wasted energy from auto traffic and turning it into electricity sounds hard to believe, but these Israeli researchers may be onto something (h/t LukeHandCool): Scientists in Israel say they have invented a way of turning traffic into electricity. The bright sparks at the country's Technion Institute of Technology...
More misleading push-calls to help Robert Wirch (D-WI)

In late April I documented how the Democratic Party of Wisconsin was running misleading push-calls to people who had signed petitions to recall Democratic State Senator Robert Wirch. The WisDems were trying to get people to say that they didn't understand what they were signing or...

What’s next, “We’re not North Korea”?

How bad is it? The President of the United States has been reduced to assuring us by saying: We're not Greece. We're not Portugal. Funny, didn't Greece say it wasn't Portugal? And didn't Portugal say it wasn't Greece? I don't like where this is heading....
