Post-Mortem: CSI Illinois

Dan Riehl says he doesn’t want to engage in hindsight recriminations over the Illinois gubernatorial campaign. As I explained at The American Spectator in the wee hours this morning, the evident narrow victory for state Sen. Bill Brady appears to be a less-bad outcome for conservatives, however disappointing it may be for Adam Andrzejewski’s Tea Party supporters. […]

The Same Reason I Didn’t Attend Obama’s State of the Union Speech

“I don’t go because it has become so partisan, and it’s very uncomfortable for a judge to sit there. And there’s a lot you don’t hear on T.V. — the catcalls, the whooping and hollering, under-the-breath comments. . . . So we decided not to go. Some members continued to go and that’s fine, but […]

What’s the Matter with Kansas Massachusetts?

From the BBC, of all places: The Republicans’ shock victory in the election for the US Senate seat in Massachusetts meant the Democrats lost their supermajority in the Senate. This makes it even harder for the Obama administration to get healthcare reform passed in the US. Political scientist Dr David Runciman gives his view on […]

I’m planning to leave late tonight or early Thursday for a shoe-leather reporting trip to Alabama.

Michelle Malkin notes the “hold-your-nose” factor as reflected in the ultra-low primary turnout. 11:55 p.m. ET: Bill Brady leads […]

What Would William F. Buckley Jr.
Say About Eric Boehlert?

Buckley might limit himself to the two most famous words of Rahm Emanuel, but the Media Matters mouthpiece blathers on for more than 1,200 words, playing the familiar (and dishonest) liberal trick of invoking dead conservatives to disparage living conservatives. This reminds me of something that Buckley once said to a liberal contemporary. “Now listen, you queer, you stop […]

The Difference One Life Can Make

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. . . . Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command […]
