Spotted by reader Will in Denver, Colorado: The car owner obviously is operating under a false impression: That’s what the revenue debate is about.  It’s not because I want to raise revenues for the sake of raising revenues, or I’ve got some grand ambition to create a...

I was right, mostly. The serious, conciliatory Obama showed up at the press conference today. The only reasonable person in the room was the theme. I was wrong to the extent that in his opening statement and throughout Obama framed the issue as the Republicans not...

Obama is holding another press conference today, at 11 a.m. , with regard to the debt talks.  The last press conference was an unmitigated disaster for him, leading one MSNBC talking head to drop the "D" bomb. My take is that we will see a different...

Don't spy on the labels on wine bottles ordered by people at tables near you, because it's none of your business. Don't then look up the price on the wine list, because it's none of your business. Don't then calculate how long a family of four could live...

Just saw him interviewed by John King Roberts on Fox News, and I have to say, he was refreshingly blunt, as is his campaign website. King Roberts referenced this tweet by McCotter: But I don't know much (indeed, almost anything) about him.  I do know he supported...
