Obama’s Smear Machine

I take Chris Christie at his word when he says he isn’t running for president in 2012. Neverthless, Team Obama is ready: Despite New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s repeated pronouncements that he will not seek the GOP presidential nomination, Obama operatives are compiling a dossier of what they call “opposition research” — material that could be […]

Herman Cain Issues Clarification

Walking back his widely-criticized remarks on Fox News Sunday about the Palestinian “right of return”: I have long been a vocal and unwavering supporter of our friend and ally, Israel. All Israeli governments have rejected the “right” of large numbers of Arabs or Palestinians to return to what is now the state of Israel. Such […]

Ace of Spades Gets It

“The New Aristocracy isn’t made by blood but by credentials,” Ace writes, commenting on a Mark Steyn column about the Strauss-Kahn sex scandal. One of the most unfortunate consequences of the controversy that enveloped The Bell Curve is that, by affixing the “racism” label to Murray and Herrnstein’s book, liberals discouraged people from acquainting themselves […]

Beck and O’Reilly vs. Hannity?

OK, he didn’t actually say anything about Herman Cain: Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels told supporters in an email early Sunday that he will not run for president in 2012, a decision he said ultimately came down to his family’s reticence about a campaign. The announcement by the former Office of Management and Budget director and […]

Arab Spring, Palestinian Autumn

Nabil Shaath urged President Barack Obama, who Thursday criticized the planned move at the U.N. general assembly, to join other countries in endorsing a Palestinian state taking […]

Summa Cum Laude

My daughter Kennedy is graduating today from Frostburg (Md.) State University with highest honors. Regular readers will remember that Kennedy got married last summer, and that she was featured in a news story about her career as an aspiring teacher.
