Memo From the National Affairs Desk: Foreboding Gloom Pervades Vanuatu

“After having destroyed every conservative that came on the scene, you can’t say ‘You have to line up behind me.’ No, no, no. Conservatives are not going to jump until they hear where Governor Romney wants to take everybody.” — Richard Viguerie, veteran conservative leader “I still think Mitt’s electability is a myth and a […]

‘Most Beautiful Woman in Canada’ Is …

. . . kind of like “conservative Republican from Massaschusetts.”   Jenna Talackova is accepted as a woman for the same reason some accept Mitt Romney as a conservative: Because Donald Trump said so!

Do We Now Know Why Media Matters Dumped M.J. Rosenberg?

You may have missed it over the weekend when I mentioned that the lberal smear outfit Media Matters had parted ways with M.J. Rosenberg, who had been espousing the “Jews Against Israel” gibberish we’ve recently heard from the far-left “J-Street” movement.

Family Outing at Antietam Battlefield

President O’Bama celebrated St. Patrick’s Day at the Dubliner in D.C., but the unseasonably warm spring day took our family to Antietam National Battlefield Park, scene of The Battle of Sharpsburg. Reagan, 9, and Emerson, 11, have a laugh at the expense of Yankee Gen. Ambrose Burnside, who was ordered to cross Antietam Creek and […]

Public Radio Liar: ‘I Wanted to Tell a Story That Captured the Totality of My Trip’

The quote is from Mike Daisey, who went to China and came back telling lies about conditions in Apple’s factories there: It’s Daisey’s story about visiting a Foxconn factory in China where Apple manufactures iPhones and other products.
