More news about the drop in the labor participation rate, via Zero Hedge (emphasis in original): A month ago, we joked when we said that for Obama to get the unemployment rate to negative by election time, all he has to do is to crush the labor...

Romney continues to push myth that he didn’t attack in S.C.

Bob “Who Are You” Etheridge is back

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 02, 2012 31 Comments

You remember Bob Etheridge, the long time Democratic Congressman from North Carolina who made internet fame with this performance: He was unseated by Renee Ellmers. But he's back, and he's running for Governor of North Carolina (h/t @John Nolte): In a statement Thursday, Etheridge said: "After considerable thought and a...

Trump endorsement Tweet of the Day

Trump was dealing from the bottom of the deck. And double-dealing. Mitt thought he was playing poker, but Trump snookered him. It was a three-card Monte game, but only two cards showed up. From James Taranto: ...

Jennifer Rubin: Trump endorses egomaniac … Oops

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 02, 2012 71 Comments

Jennifer Rubin, the "right" blogger at The Washington Post and incessant Romney promoter, repeatedly has lashed out at Newt Gingrich with truly vile language unbecoming a writer at a major newspaper. At 9:00 a.m. this morning, when Rubin thought Donald Trump would be endorsing Newt, here is what Rubin...

I'm feeling better right now than I did last night. The National Review’s Candidate Won’t Stop Digging Romney Drowns Gingrich and Santorum in Toxic Sludge. Um, how did Rick get in on this act, he's barely been touched. Mitt Romney and the banks. Someone you don't like didn't like...
