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...

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...

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...

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...

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....

We've seen how concern over saggy pants has become an alleged dog-whistle, or something, for racism, or something, in airport security. Now the town of Collinsville, Illinois, has taken it a step further, and is outlawing saggy-pants (h/t reader Mitch): The City Council in the southwestern Illinois...
