Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 26, 2012 33 Comments

Obama has lost roughly 40% of the Democratic primary vote to an imprisoned felon in West Virginia, to "uncommitted" in Kentucky, and to a Tennesee lawyer who "could fit snugly on Dylan Ratigan's MSNBC show" and who no one in Arkansas likely had heard of before...

I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend while remembering the sacrifices of those who gave their lives to defend America and freedom. It seems the neo-socialists don't want to feel left out during this weekend of patriotism and honoring the fallen. Liberation News, the "newspaper for...

Dear Wisconsin Republicans: Take nothing for granted

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 26, 2012 25 Comments

There already are efforts to bus supporters of the recall to the polls for early voting. There's nothing illegal or unethical about that, so long as only eligible voters vote. But it's a reminder that some good polling is not a substitute for going to the...

When Elizabeth Warren has lost Alan Colmes

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 26, 2012 29 Comments

Alan Colmes appears to be going the Ed Schultz route and practically begging Elizabeth Warren just to come clean. Like Schultz, Colmes still is a supporter, but feels a pain from Warren twisting in the winds which have come sweeping off the plains of Warren's obfuscation...

A bittersweet update to my prior post about Etan Patz. Who knows if this is the real killer. I guess we'll find out as more evidence comes out. Hopefully the family will have the closure not only of a conviction, but of being able to bury Etan...

A number of readers forwarded me the link to an article about Scott Brown's demand that Harvard correct its filings with the Labor Department to remove Elizabeth Warren's listing as a Native American. Reader Tom wrote: Professor: Senator Brown's now taking on HARVARD in his campaign. It's...

The corporate social responsibility gamble

Posted by Anne Segal on May 25, 2012 19 Comments

The free market, where it is still free, has a way of keeping companies in line that stray too far from their consumers' core values. That was the counter-argument (not original) I always made when, during business school at Cornell, some of our professors would tote...

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 25, 2012 16 Comments

While Elizabeth Warren is doing well in the polls, her story about not promoting herself as Native American for professional purposes continues to fall apart.

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 24, 2012 25 Comments
