Tea Party Alert: Harry Reid Will Launch Three-Day Nevada Bus Tour Monday

A friend in Nevada just called to alert me to this news: On Monday, the politically vulnerable Democratic majority leader of the Senate plans to hit the road from his hometown of Searchlight for a three-day bus tour . . . “This bus tour is a great opportunity for me to visit and hear from […]

Liberal Fantasies vs. Economic Reality

Since 2008, I have consistently derogated prospects for a quick economic recovery. Americans lost an estimated $7 trillion in asset value in housing bubble collapse — a loss of approximately $54,000 per U.S. home — and whatever it takes to recover from that kind of loss, it certainly won’t be quick. Furthermore, I have consistently said that the […]

One of These Things Is Not Like the Other

Jim Hoft says it’s a “smear” for the New York Times to compare the Tea Party movement to the Weather Underground of the 1960s and ’70s. More to the point, the comparison is stupidly inaccurate. The Weathermen emerged after 1969 from Students for a Democratic Society — an organization, as it name says, composed primarily of college students. SDS […]

MoveOn.org vs. ‘Blue Dog’ Barrow

This story could have major ramifications in Georgia and beyond: Left-wing rage over Georgia Rep. John Barrow’s vote against ObamaCare has reportedly prompted the powerful MoveOn.org political action committee to target him for defeat in this year’s Democratic primary. Barrow was among those “Blue Dog” Democrats slammed last summer by MoveOn.org radio ads . . […]

Liz Carter for Congress: Because It’s Time to Tip Over and Capsize Hank Johnson

This afternoon I opened my e-mail inbox and saw (a) a message from Conor Friedersdorf and (b) a message from a minister at the Georgia church attended by Carol Purdy, my third-grade crush.  Obviously, I chose to read the latter, which said: Met Liz Carter again today — her campaign for GA-4 now has national recognition thanks to […]

VIDEO: Interview With Vernon Parker, AZ-3 Republican Candidate

During a fund-raiser Tuesday at his home in Paradise Valley, I interviewed Mayor Vernon Parker, who is running for Congress in Arizona’s 3rd District. Please excuse my usual “uh-ahh” stumbling — the Detective Columbo style as an interviewer works better in print than on video — and also please excuse the poor lighting. Sundown was rapidly approaching when we arrived at the event and […]

The Price of Press-Corps Fellatio

Ed Driscoll calls our attention to this interesting media dynamic: Every reporter in the White House press corps is writing a book promising “inside access” to the Obama administration, which bends the supply-demand curve for such access. Reporters are being required to provide fawning “blow job” coverage and then wait their turn for access. So don’t be surprised by the lack […]

Harpoon Him!

Damned whale-hugger:  An anti-whaling activist has been indicted in Tokyo for illegally boarding the Shonan Maru II, a Japanese harpoon boat, as part of a protest against a whale hunting expedition in Antarctic seas. Peter Bethune, a 44 year old activist from New Zealand, “was indicted on Friday for trespassing, causing injuries, obstructing commercial activities, […]
