Me at Hot Air: Not Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting.
I’m doing some guest-blogging at Hot Air for a few days while Ed Morrissey is out of the country for a few days and my first post this afternoon involves one of the silliest and most-frustrating stories I’ve seen all week. Apparently, the Brits have just a tiny problem with the concept of free speech, [...]
After the President’s Libya Speech, I Still Have Questions
Last night, President Obama did his best impression of an embarrassed schoolboy handing in a two-week late term paper he hastily finished the night before and told us what he thinks we’re doing in Libya and why Operation Air Quotes is the right thing. You can read the speech here and determine for yourself if [...]
It’s Not a Death Panel If It’s Just One Person, Right?
I don’t suppose it’s far for me to point to this story and mutter “Death Panels” under my breath because an actual panel isn’t involved.

In This Case, I Say We Look to Britain
This past weekend, the left’s best and brightest met in Las Vegas to discuss, among other things, how they can rush America pell-mell toward an NHS-style, single-payer, government-run health care system. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, surrounded by a friendly audience on his home turf, proclaimed the public option a fait accompli. Meanwhile, as Philip [...]
Nothing Like Getting Beat Up By An Ugly Chick in Heels.
This is the funniest story I’ve seen all week. Don’t jump ahead to the link just yet, because it gives away the punch line. Here’s the setup. Two young rough-toughs in South Wales got liquored up and decided, in their drunkenness (one of them was reported to have had 10 pints (!!) of cider), to [...]
