"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

‘Slash-and-Burn’? Yeah, More of That!

The New York Times editorial page would have you believe that House Republicans are out of control: Are there any adults in charge of the House?

‘Civility’

Ann Althouse: “After all those efforts to paint Tea Partiers as using violent images and rhetoric, these pictures from Madison have got to hurt.” It’s also going to hurt that Democrats are issuing “demands” like … uh, hostage-takers. But as Ace of Spades says, there are times when liberals find a “Climate of Hate” useful. […]

Democrats Believe Secret to Winning Back Congress Is … Pro-Abortion Voters?

Dave Weigel at Slate has the lowdown on their strategy: The man in charge of taking back the House for Democrats is talking about rape. When the Republicans took Congress, says Rep.

The only question is who can do this while raising the money to compete in expensive New York Our suggestion is […]

Obama Jinxes Steelers in Super Bowl

Ever since the president put the curse on Philly, every NFL team has prayed that Obama wouldn’t endorse them. Obama: ‘I’ve got some love for the Steelers’ Sorry, Pittsburgh fans: Packers by 4.
