Yes it did. From reader Kathy, taken near Gainesville, FL: ...
One of my favorite photos, run on the blog a number of times in the past. Something about it just seems to sum up the mania which swept the nation in 2008. Now that Obama is in full-out pander mode to the youth (as he sells out...
Understatement (via John Sexton): Many critics view The Times as constitutionally unable to address the election in an unbiased fashion. Like a lot of America, it basked a bit in the warm glow of Mr. Obama’s election in 2008...
Two moderate Blue Dog incumbent Democrats lost to left-wing, union-backed challengers in Pennsylvania yesterday: The Blue Dogs' bark in Congress is sounding more and more like a whimper. The once-powerful coalition of conservative Democrats suffered two more casualties on Tuesday as Rep. Jason Altmire, D-Pa., lost to...
Yesterday we learned that Representative Allen West (R-FL) was disinvited from an NAACP fundraiser in his home state of Florida. Last week, West had commented that "I believe there's about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party." West,...
The RNC just released a video comparing Obama's Jimmy Fallon appearance with Mitt Romney's victory speech last night. I had thought about that comparison this morning when I watched the video of the Fallon appearance. Obama has turned the Office of the Presidency into a sight and...

I realize that all politicians are narcissists to an extent, but judging the value of a political movement on whether it helps you or not seems a bit, shall we say, self-centered. In one of the more curious comments so far in the challenge by Richard...
The year-end 2011 Law Prof Blog Rankings from TaxProf are out. It is noted only for the record, in the interest of preserving a slice of America as we know it for future generations, not because it matters to me. I'm above worrying about the small stuff...
Remember the BP boycott? Apparently, this owner does not even though his vehicle has a "Boycott BP" sticker on it. The gas was probably a penny cheaper than the boycott-free stations down the street. From reader John: I spotted this guy filling up at a BP station in...
I'll have updates on tonight's primaries if anything interesting happens. But since I'll be sitting in a dark room with the door locked and the window shades drawn imagining it's 1971, please only disturb me if it's really important, like if it turns out Obama ate...
SB 1070, the Arizona immigration law, is on for oral argument tomorrow at the U.S. Supreme Court. Justice Elena Kagan recused herself. If there is a 4-4 split, the 9th Circuit decision enjoining key part of the law stands. My prior posts for some background: Arizona Law...
