The Obama fairy tale exposed, once again

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 03, 2012 23 Comments

I think I’ll watch Hannity tonight

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 02, 2012 44 Comments

Because a tape is being released on Hannity tonight. And based on this tease by Drudge, it should be big. Guesses? One thing for sure, Democrats will scream Racism! for showing a tape of Obama saying words which are not helpful to Obama. Maybe that will result in a...

Scott Brown “Bains” Elizabeth Warren

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 02, 2012 20 Comments

Elizabeth Warren is running hard left in her rhetoric, but the reality is she served big companies in her extensive private legal practice and got paid big, big dollars for it. At the first debate, Brown scored big points on Warren's representation of Travelers, for which...

What Kind of Person Thinks Free Speech is Too Costly?

Posted by Joel Engel on October 02, 2012 33 Comments

Despite a Drudge link, huge linkage everywhere in the conservative blogosphere, and defensiveness in the left-legal blogosphere, Elizabeth Warren's law license problem has not broken into the mainstream media.
