Call it the War on Women's Eyes. I think Andrew Kaczynski has it right: No, actually, I know he is right: ...
The "anti-pinkwashing" campaign continues in all its irony. Israel is to be "featured" at the annual Equality Forum on May 3-6 in Philadelphia, based on Israel's record on gay issues. Israel, of course, is the only nation in the Middle East where homosexuality is not punished, much less punished with...
Two standout appearances at Chicago's Tea Party this Monday were familiar faces from Saturday's Wisconsin event: BigJournalism's Dana Loesch and Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch. These two women, working moms who are relatively recent entrants into the political fray, are examples of one of the most...

A PPP poll for Daily Kos shows Gov. Scott Walker in a good position: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker leads all of his Democratic challengers in the Wisconsin recall election, per a new Public Policy Polling poll out this afternoon. Walker, the incumbent governor, has a 5-point lead...
you know the Democratic Party has a problem. From his going away interview (almost) in New York Magazine (italics added)(h/t @ByronYork): You think Obama overinterpreted his mandate with health care? The problem with health care is this: Health care is enormously important to people. When you tell them that...
Defeating Barack Obama is a priority. So is keeping the presumptive nominee from etch-a-sketching and erasing the conservative movement. Via Byron York: At a closed-to-the-press Florida fundraiser Sunday night at which his remarks were overheard by some reporters standing outside, Mitt Romney was asked about his media strategy...
This afternoon I received my 5000th follower on Twitter. If you are on Twitter, you can follow me at @LegInsurrection. If you are not on Twitter, get on it. Facebook switched everyone to the new Timeline view. You can "like" LI's Facebook page, which has just over...
This past Saturday marked a change for the now-annual Wisconsin Tax Day Tea Party in Madison, Wisc. While thousands turned out -- an organizer said it was 6,300 -- it wasn't the masses that had showed up in the pouring rain last year to see...
The best and the brightest, writing about the Secret Service scandal in the country of Colombia consistently spell it "Columbia" like the University (h/t @BuzzFeedBen via @AlexPappasDC): ...
“Barack Obama Deficit-Slayer”, by Matthew Yglesias, June 22, 2009: As the economy recovers, tax revenues will rise, social safety net outlays will fall, and stimulus measures will begin to tamp down. If we can assume further growth in 2011, the complete expiry of Recovery Act provisions, and...
Considering the bumper sticker below, spotted in Ithaca, a little history lesson is in order: The Saint Patrick's Day Four (also, The Saint Patrick's Four, or SP4) are four American peace activists of Irish Catholic heritage who poured their own blood on the walls, posters, windows,...
This video (via Above The Law, h/t tip from Badger Pundit) was taken on the edge of the Harvard Law School campus. The building in the opening shot is a new building where Wyeth Hall, the dorm I lived in first year, used to stand. They...
but will they vote in larger numbers and against Obama this year? I'm not really in a position to assess that, so enlighten me. ...
A reader writes: Not sure if you have something planned for tax day, but thought you'd like a little perspective from the private sector. If you do use it, please hold back our names - a few of my clients are liberals! The joys of being a small business...
What is known in the media and Obama campaign speak as The Worst Recession Since The Great Depression, or The Great Recession, is Obama's excuse for everything. It's Bush's fault, Obama inherited all our problems, etc. The Bush Great Recession is Obama's pass to pass the buck. So keep in...
