100,000-200,000 ficticious Wisconsin voters can’t be wrong

Signature checkers are on track to find between 100,000-200,000 invalid signatures on WI Recall petitions, out of approximately 1 million submitted. It's too little to stop the recall election being certified, but is a good indication of massive fraud. IBD rhetorically asks, Why Do Democrats Want to Protect Voter Fraud? ...

The Museum Fairness Act of 2012

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 15, 2012 18 Comments

I propose that the House and Senate pass, and the President sign into law with the simultaneous appointment of a Museum Czar, The Museum Fairness Act of 2012, to address the concerns of a severely museum-deprived minority. This is America. Everyone deserves a fair shot at getting...

Be (not) nice to Rick day

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 15, 2012 73 Comments

It must be great to be Rick Santorum running against Mitt Romney. By the time Mitt gets to you, after Mike H., John M. and Newt G., all of the sudden there is grave concern that Mitt will not be nice. What's that saying, it's better...

Dem Campaign 2012 – “you could have had it all”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 15, 2012 34 Comments

By a clear majority, Americans support getting free stuff over not getting free stuff. And once established, getting free stuff becomes a basic right, and a part of the Democratic Party platform. We cannot win the free stuff war. How to pay for the free stuff is someone...

Is The Dersh the last courageous liberal?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 15, 2012 35 Comments

One of my big regrets is not making more of a connection with Alan Dershowitz while in law school. I didn't take any of his classes, but I did have some interaction with him since he was the faculty advisor to the Jewish Law Students Association. We...

We are still counting the cost of the Great Mistake, as he pushes hard on the pedal as the debt cliff approaches. From Linda, taken at the Lowe's parking lot in Nashville, TN, a melancholy look back at what might have been: ...

Obama “undoubtedly pulled punches in his first term to maximise the likelihood of winning a second term”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 14, 2012 62 Comments

Interesting theory from Steve Kates at the Catallaxy Files ("Australia's leading libertarian and centre-right blog") that Obama does not want to run against Romney and that exciting the religious base in the Republican Party decreases Romney's chances. I'm not sure I agree with what amounts to a double-manipulation...

Talentless hack

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 14, 2012 50 Comments

What a hack, Jim Talent who was used as Romney hit man on Newt now is going after Rick as well. Come on, bring back John Sununu. Alan West is being followed Cataloging signature fraud and error on the WI recall. The quote Rick uses in his advertising and all...

Thanks for the h/t

Dick Morris appeared on Hannity last night (h/t @TheAnchoress) and made a connection between the January New Hampshire debate and Obama rolling out the contraception issue: If only I had thought of that earlier in the day and pushed the issue into the media with the help of...

Providence begs for mercy, probably won’t get it

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 14, 2012 19 Comments

The City of Providence, in my home State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, is in dire financial trouble, as I have posted here many times before. The City, with its large tax-exempt university base and decades-long history of lush public sector benefits, has struggled under...

Media Matter’s war on Fox is old news

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 14, 2012 19 Comments

The latest installment of The Daily Caller's exposé on Media Matters concerns an e-mail regarding an action plan against Fox News which included hiring private investigators to go after Fox News executives, lawfare, and other acts of disruption: A little after 1 p.m. on Sept. 29, 2009,...

Newt: National Review call for him to drop out is “silly”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 14, 2012 39 Comments

Yesterday, the editors of National Review called on Newt to drop out of the race in favor of Santorum: When he led Santorum in the polls, he urged the Pennsylvanian to leave the race. On his own arguments the proper course for him now is to endorse...

"Global Minimum Tax' -- of course we can, that way businesses not only can't flee to other states, they can't flee to other countries! "He's a lying SOB" or maybe he just tells people one thing in private and another thing in public. "Don't actually write that...

Media Matters for Obama

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 13, 2012 20 Comments

Media Matters for America really is Media Matters for Obama, but you already knew that from the frequent posts here about it. Among other things, MMFA employs the most expensive proofreader in America, and the most aggressive and unapologetic purveyor of the "Israel-Firster" smear. It's quite a...

Hang in there Newt

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 13, 2012 56 Comments

Yes, my thoughts exactly: National Review lost any credibility to chime in on the primaries when it ran its infamous Marvin the Martian cover and issue in late December. At least Andy McCarthy understood at the time: For the Editors to single out Gingrich for this kind of...

Contraception Tweet of the Day

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 13, 2012 17 Comments

Would it be premature to call this the early leader for Tweet of the Year? Maybe, because considering who won last year, we may need to redistribute the honor so that less-gifted Twitter users do not have their self-esteem damaged. From the 2012 CPAC Humor Blogger of the...
