Hey, Baby, Let’s Get Seismic

Great pickup lines in Tehran: A senior Iranian cleric has claimed that dolled-up women incite extramarital sex, causing more earthquakes in Iran, a country that straddles several fault lines, newspapers reported today. “Many women who dress inappropriately . . . cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which […]

Give Attila Money

Personally, I think she ought to at least offer to use the money to go to Vegas or New Orleans, but gasoline and eggs and cheering her up are also worthwhile projects, I suppose.

What Matthew Yglesias Doesn’t Understand About Economics

Besides everything, I mean. Christine Romer’s neo-Keynesian analysis of the economic slump — “It’s Aggregate Demand, Stupid” — inspires Yglesias to spout ignorantly about “structural” unemployment: Every time there’s a downturn a certain swathe of the elite starts to label it unfixable and structural. He then goes off to argue that the problem with U.S. policy is […]

What New Regulation Can’t Fix: FDIC, OTS, and the WaMu SNAFU

Friday afternoon, I had to drive to Baltimore Washington International Airport to pick up my 17-year-old son Jim, who was flying in from Ohio. I could tell you a long story here about Jim’s desire to see his dog Samson, who appears to be terminally ill, and maybe dog-lovers would hit the tip-jar in sympathy, […]

What If Arnold Schwarzenegger Had Been as Conservative as Chris Christie?

The Wall Street Journal shares an anecdote about New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie standing up to his state’s teachers union, earning praise from Moe Lane. Meanwhile, we’re watching California circle the drain — the state’s unemployment rate hit 12.6% in March — and I’m thinking of what a horrible disappointment Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been. What Christie […]

Ben Domenech Accidentally ‘Outed’ Really-Not-So-Closeted Lesbian

This is hilarious. Potential Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is gayer than the first three rows at an Indigo Girls concert, and yet the White House acts all outraged that conservative writer Ben Domenech incorrectly described the unmarried 49-year-old as “openly gay.”  Kagan is not officially so open about it, and this gives the White House a […]

Just Another Random, Coincidental Beat-Down on Two Republicans in New Orleans

Allahpundit notes that New Orleans police have denied telling blogger Pat Dollard that they suspect a political motive in the brutal April 9 beating of Alexandra “Allee” Bautsch and her boyfriend, Joseph Brown, after they left a fundraiser for Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal. Michelle Malkin says: It doesn’t help to insist on making this […]

Sunshine Götterdämmerung: Crist to Announce Independent Senate Bid Today?

Via Hot Air Headlines comes this weird story from Orlando: Dr. Rick Foglesong is the President of the faculty at Rollins College, one of our political analysts who has time and time again predicted a run by the governor as an Independent. And now, he says he has a source inside the Crist campaign staff. […]
