    Obama a Socialist, Says…. Obama

    Monday, May 20th, 2013

    In my Sunday column, a look at what Obama meant when he said (longingly! not puckishly!) that he thinks about “going Bulworth.”

    So Long, Richard Windsor

    Monday, January 7th, 2013

    The resignation of Lisa Jackson, who apparently operated under the nom de plume Richard Windsor, and what it tells us about the much-vaunted transparency of the Obama administration is the subject of my Sunday column.

    “Zero Dark Thirty” Vs. the Wets

    Sunday, December 16th, 2012

    In my Sunday column, I explain why “Zero Dark Thirty” is a clear vindication of the Bush Administration’s approach to the war on terror. (Spoiler alert: The good guys win in the end.)

    Finita La Commedia

    Friday, November 9th, 2012

    I’m not normally given to hyperbole, but it’s all over for the Republican party as we know it and hence all over for the United States of America as we know it. The Reagan period now looks like a blip. Only once has a Republican presidential candidate won the popular vote in 24 years.
    We’ve [...]

    The Mud-Slinger vs. The Optimist

    Sunday, November 4th, 2012

    In my final thought on Campaign 2012 (I hope), I contrast the character assassination of one side vs. the sober sunniness of the other. More in my Sunday column.

    What Second-Term Agenda?

    Sunday, October 28th, 2012

    In my Sunday column, I take a bite out of the nothing sandwich that is Obama’s second-term agenda. Thanks to Sarah Hoyt and the indispensable Instapundit for the link.

    It’s On Like Donkey Kong!

    Friday, October 26th, 2012

    Yankeefan (pictured above shortly after disposing of Qaddafi) wants to know if I’m willing to bet on this election. When last we wagered, it was over the Supreme Court’s ruling on Obamacare: He predicted it would be upheld (6-3); I said it would be rejected (5-4). Basically it was a push. But I was happy [...]

    The Enthusiasm Gap

    Sunday, October 14th, 2012

    In my Sunday column, I look at the enthusiasm levels of Democratic and Republican voters and conclude that Republicans have a real edge.

    Winners and Losers

    Thursday, October 11th, 2012

    I’ve grown tired of the “Obama blew it” meme about the debate. This idea comes from 2 places: 1) Ultra-liberal policies are so awesome that any self-respecting college grad should be able to defend them; and b) by not showing up, Obama sealed Romney’s victory. The facts are otherwise. Obama was lackluster and mediocre, I [...]

    Presidential Rebate Tonight!

    Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

    I stole that line from someone on Twitter, can’t remember who. I’ll be livetweeting the proceedings later on tonight, Inshallah.
