From Jim Treacher (h/t @MichelleMalkin): ...
Commentary on the claim by Nicholas Sarkozy, with a willing acknowledgement, that Benjamin Netanyahu was a liar, from Caroline Glick (h/t reader John): Since Iran’s nuclear weapons program was first revealed to the public in 2004, Israel has provided in-depth intelligence information proving Iran’s malign intentions to the...
Had to do it. Not as good as 12:34 on 5/6/78, but I wasn't blogging at 12:34 p.m. on May 6, 1978. And since this post is prescheduled because I'll be in class, let this be my "love you, honey, it's so special that we could share this...
Story in NY Magazine about a longevity study of Askenazi Jews (h/t DINORightMarie at the Tip Line): An Einstein study published in August asked whether the SuperAgers, over the course of their lives, had better health habits than the general population. The answer was no; their habits were, if...
Dr. David Friedman posted a link to his most recent work on his blog. The selection is titled "Legal Systems Very Different from Ours" and it is a really fascinating read. In Athens: The Athenians had a straightforward solution to the problem of producing public goods such as...
There are three branches of government, and one of the branches gets to decide who gets to be in one of the other branches. Via The Denver Post: In a blow to Colorado Republicans that could affect election outcomes for the next decade, a judge has...
Cain-Newt-Romney all tied up, per latest CBS poll, with Cain at 18, and Newt/Romney at 15: In the Republican race for the presidential nomination, Newt Gingrich's support continues to slowly grow, and he is now tied with Mitt Romney for second place, while Herman Cain just...
Rick Perry has been right to do the talk show circuit in the wake of Wednesday's brain freeze, and he has been more impressive in the interviews I have seen in the last 24 hours than in any appearance since he announced in August. Perhaps if Perry did...
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...
