The Bow is back

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 28, 2012 32 Comments

Remember The Bow. You know, the one which the White House denied was a bow, in one of the earlier displays of the White House thinking we are stupid: "It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah," said an...

Newt chews Chris Matthews’ race card and spits it out

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 28, 2012 42 Comments

Chris Matthews is pushing the race card really hard, as is MNSBC and much of the mainstream media. I sense panic, complete and utter panic. Everything is a race whistle to this crowd (is using the term "crowd" racist, Chris, or at least a dog whistle?). Matthews came...

Mia B. Love will be speaking at the RNC tonight with the theme "The America I Know." As you know from prior coverage here, she's in a tough fight in the newly formed and heavily Republican Utah-04 district against incumbent Jim Matheson, who has family name recognition (his father...

I guess this is the day for anecdotes. First, the friend who texted "Omg!" after seeing 2016 Obama's America. Then, the carpet cleaning guy today who called this photo to our attention when told about this blog: (Background on the sign here and just about everywhere.) I spoke with...

If they didn’t return from the moon

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 27, 2012 30 Comments

We all remembered this weekend the moon landing, upon news of Neil Armstrong's death. What we didn't focus on is what would have happened if Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were stranded. Rush just read this speech written by William Safire for Richard Nixon in the event the...

I’ve written before about the race for North Carolina’s 7th Congressional District between Democrat incumbent, Mike McIntyre, and Republican challenger, State Senator David Rouzer (donate). This tight race in the swing state of North Carolina has been added to the Operation Counterweight final list and in response, Senator...

He may be documented, but he’s no worker

From reader Brian: Seen at a stop light on Route 50, Maryland eastern shore. A bit of birtherisim but I like the drill sticker. Love the blog Professor. I don't think they're questioning his birthplace, I think they're saying it's undocumented that he actually works. Add up the golf days...

Can we do to Dems in Maine what they did to us in Missouri?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 26, 2012 23 Comments

Everyone pretty much wrote off Maine when former Governor Angus King announced he would run as an independent for the seat vacated by Olympia Snowe. Everyone understood that King's independence notwithstanding, he would caucus with Democrats. King was far ahead in the polls, and then a funny...

Will God still be on Dems side if Hurricane Isaac buries New Orleans?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 26, 2012 53 Comments

Can I call 'em or what? As news broke that a possible hurricane might disrupt the Republican National Convention, I predicted that Democrats would become religious quickly. Not religious in terms of religion, but in terms of proclaiming that God was on their side for disrupting the...
