Thanks to reader Craig who took this photo last summer in Greenville, S.C. ...
E-mail from reader Scott: The reaction to last nights debate (and Perry’s poor performance in earlier debates) is that Perry is now disqualified from being president. If so, does that mean that Romney and Gingrich, the best debaters, are the only candidates we should consider? Does the...
Of course that's not the case. Believe him or not, Herman Cain stood at a podium and addressed the charges and took reporter questions. Not so Karen Kraushaar, who has multiple (we don't know how many) employment claims to her credit. Kraushaar will only reveal details...
Sarah Palin, Fire Eric Holder: And where is President Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder in all of this? When did he first know about the operation? In his testimony to the House Oversight Committee on May 3, 2011, Holder stated, “I probably heard about Fast and...
From the WSJ: Wall Street may have lost its appetite for Mario Batali. Mr. Batali, the celebrity chef famed for his orange Crocs, red pony tail and bold ragus, has long been one of the premier restaurateurs to the New York financial elite...
This is beginning to look more like farce. Via @DanRiehl, CNN reports that Herman Cain accuser Karen Kraushaar will not do the joint press conference she has been threatening unless the two still anonymous accusers come out and participate: Herman Cain accuser Karen Kraushaar is "not considering...
While Newt's answer taking on the Occupy Wall Street movement and challenging Maria Bartiromo has received all the attention. I think this was the best answer of the night, taking on the academic establishment rather than accepting the premise of the question, which was an attempt...
That's the suggestion made by some readers in response to my post about Rick Perry's brain freeze in last night's debate. It's also a theme followed up by commenter OwenJ in an e-mail to me, which reads: Some time ago, responding to the response from some...
Yesterday I saw a lengthy thread at Memeorandum about a "HermanCainPAC" website which had a large cover story calling Karen Kraushaar an "ugly bitch." Here's the screenshot: The website looked real, with a donate page and so on. But I didn't post about it because it looked...
Thanks to frequent photographer Thomas who took this photo back in August, and writes: Here are some bumper stickers spotted this sunny afternoon in Portland, Oregon. Apparently, going to hell and back makes you an Obama voter. ...
Full report on CNBC debate here. The only part that will be remembered is Rick Perry's freeze on stage. He was having a reasonable debate until that point. I feel sorry for him. One freeze on stage should not end a campaign, but the reaction...
Final assessment: Newt was the star, combative in a good way and very knowledgeable. Romney was strong at the start but faded. Cain dealt with accusations well but went to 9-9-9 for everything, I think he's still well liked but not making the case for...
So many conservative blogs and Twitterers are joining in the hysteria directed at the Cain campaign because campaign manager Mark Block erroneously stated last night that the son of accuser Sharon Kraushaar works at Politico. I heard it when he said it on the Hannity show,...
As I mentioned yesterday, Ying Ma came back to Cornell last night to present her take on "Chinese state capitalism." I took notes on the presentation: Basic overview: In the 1990s, China had an acrimonious relationship w. US. Politicians and commentators were constantly complaining about China's...
... when I'm a big, powerful blogger, I'll get offers like this: CHARGING IN MY GARAGE RIGHT NOW: A NISSAN LEAF. Actually, it’s fully charged this morning after about 12 hours on the 110v portable charger. No, I didn’t buy one: The Nissan folks loaned me...
The long-promised Phase 2 is here: Phase 2 will take place sometime over the summer [hah!], hopefully sooner rather than later. Phase 2 will include the creation of a format off the home page for registered users in which we can focus on specific political races,...
I did not follow yesterday's elections as closely as I should have. I've been a bit, er, distracted the past week. Ohio was a loss for those who want to save state and local governments from the grip of unsustainable union control. The national unions went...
