‘And the War, Tragically, Continues’

Frank Rich’s latest idiotic idea is that Fox News coverage of the Ground Zero Mosque controversy has thwarted U.S. anti-insurgency efforts in Afghanistan. No, seriously. He actually devoted 1,572 words to making that absurd argument. This inspired Rob Long to script a scenario: I can see it now: the flickering firelight in a dark cave […]

‘The New Phonebooks Are Here!’

And I’m now “Guest Contributor” of the week over at Ricochet — one of those guest-blogging gigs that doesn’t actually involved getting paid, but . . . Well, at least I tried. Their editor, James Poulos, is a friend of mine and when Scott Immergut invited me to contribute, I replied by e-mail: While our sideburned […]

Scratch Gingrich in 2012: Newt Backs Out of 9/11 Rally Against Ground Zero Mosque

Stick a fork in him, he’s done: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) will not be addressing a protest of the proposed mosque in lower Manhattan on the anniversary of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. The organizers of the rally, Stop Islamization of America and Freedom Defense Initiative, announced Gingrich as one […]

Is the GOP Heading for Heartbreak?

OK, after reading Karl’s Hot Air post, I’m starting to feel a bit embarrassed about my own grim outlook on the fall elections: Am I too pessimistic? Am I turning into Allahpundit? Let me explain: I was at Doug Hoffman’s headquarters in Saranac Lake, N.Y., the night he came up short, and I was at Tim […]

‘Free Money’ Madness at the Fed

This policy was instituted as an “emergency rate” after the 2008 meltdown, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City President Thomas Hoenig said […]

WikiLeaks Founder Reportedly Charged With Rape, Media Suggest U.S. ‘Smear’ UPDATE: Police Withdraw Charges?

Swedish tabloid Expressen reports that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been charged with raping two women in Stockholm. No details of the alleged crime are available, but a very rough Google translation of the Expressen report indicates that the two women who made the accusations are in their 20s. Australian-born Assange is 39. WikiLeaks made headlines last month by releasing […]

“Look, it’s Keith Olbermann!” BTW, Ace of Spades pulled out the flaming skull for the revelation that the imam at the Lower Manhattan Islamic Community Center That the Associated Press Won’t Call the “Ground Zero Mosque” Anymore has said some stuff that isn’t exactly moderate.

More News on Liberty.com

Wednesday, I blogged about the launch of Liberty.com, which will officially go live Sept. 1. David Catanese reports at Politico: A new conservative group created to harness the energy of the tea party into a national financial force has set a lofty goal for itself: match or eclipse the influence of MoveOn.org in campaigns across […]
