Obama’s Basic Problem: They Don’t Teach Economics at Harvard Law School

Ace of Spades points out the obvious: When Obama was on this supposed non-political listening tour in swing states, he actually wasn’t presenting a plan, of course. He was promising he would have a plan. That’s odd, isn’t it? All Obama knows about economics is what his neo-Keynesian advisers tell him about the glorious benefits […]

‘Violated Online’: The Vicious Arts of Internet Character Assassination

Having previously smeared “Advice Goddess” Amy Alkon, Carl Salonen has now turned his slander machine against Professor Donald Douglas: The allegations are that I’m (1) a child pornographer who (2) requires his students to read his postings. These are breathtaking lies. Carl Salonen submitted not a shred of evidence in support. This is pure, demented […]

WaPoo Goober Who Was Unsure Of Constitution’s Age, Real Sure NYT-noid Story Slamming Tea Party Is, Like, Kosher

by Smitty What beliefs predict A Tea Partier? This is Ezra Klein’s title for regurgitating a slur from the gray, room temperature lady. So what do Tea Partiers have in common? They are overwhelmingly white, but even compared to other white Republicans, they had a low regard for immigrants and blacks long before Barack Obama […]

Malkin Not Keen on ‘Governor Gardasil’

The Boss went after Rick Perry for imposing mandatory vaccination with Gardasil on 12-year-old girls.

Libertarians were outraged […]

About this: MY MONEY’S ON SANTORUM: Pawlenty’s Gone, So Who’ll Be The Next Republican To Fold? Having covered Rick Santorum in Iowa, and having met his supporters, I know that he’s nowhere near dropping out. As he told me after our interview Saturday in Ames, they’ve run their entire campaign so far on about $600,000 in […]

Blogging About Pathetic Perverts and Also Andrew Sullivan’s Sarah Palin Toe Fetish

Sarah Palin thronged by admirers during her Friday visit to the Iowa State Fair. HARTSELLE, Alabama Does the headline seem a tad redundant? Never mind. My travels around Iowa and yesterday’s 700-mile trip with Ladd Ehlinger down here to Alabama have kept me offline so much that I haven’t had much time to keep up […]

Maybe The Answer Is ‘We Obsess Too Much About Crotches’

by Smitty Am I jaded? Althouse: Single men earn less money the heavier they are, while single women earn more money the heavier they are. And: Lesbians earn more money than straight women. Almost a decade back, I started a PhD program, and one of the courses was “Philosophical Foundations of Public Policy” or some […]

Dave Weigel on the Undecided Iowans

There is a lot of genuine ambiguity among Republicans here: Romney leaves Pella and makes his way an hour up the road to Des Moines. He’s the honored guest at a Polk County Republican fundraiser at the home of Nick Van Patten . . . Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, and other candidates have already been […]
