Congratulations, Barack Obama

Jonah Goldberg about sums it up for me (except for one small point). Look, I expect to be one of the most severe critics of the Obama administration and the Democrats generally in the years ahead (though I sincerely hope I won’t find that necessary). But Obama ran a brilliant race and he should be [...]

Lewis on “Moral Busybodies”

| October 22, 2008 | Comments (0)

I like C.S. Lewis’ work quite a bit. I happened across a quote from his work “The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment”, thanks to one of Jonah Goldberg’s readers, and I figured it was worth sharing with you. It is particularly appropriate these days. Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its [...]

Play that Funky Race Card, White Boy

Play that Funky Race Card, White Boy

Roger Simon (the bad one who works for Politico) has a laughable article today on race and politics. Well, it’s actually not as serious as all that. It’s basically an article telling us how when he saw John McCain on the campaign trail, it made him want to run and hide because he thought that [...]

MSM Embargo of Biden’s Gaffe-Fest Reaches Five Days

| October 7, 2008 | Comments (0)

Ace has made an observation. Almost five days have passed since Joe Biden gaffed his way through the VP Debate and there hasn’t been a single MSM story about any of them. Oh, there have been several stories praising him, as Jonah Goldberg points out, but not one taking him to task for his made-up [...]

What’s the Subject of Obama’s First Attack Ad on Issues that “Matter to Families”? John McCain’s War Injuries

Oh, dear. Nancy boy crybaby Obama is angry…again. He’s promised to get fierce with John McCain and go on the attack. But his attacks won’t be just any attack. Oh, no. They’ll be important attacks. “I will guarantee, we are going to hit back hard,” he pledged. “But we are going to hit back hard [...]

Seven Years Ago, Islamists Tried to Kill More than 50,000 Americans.

Today is 9/11 and instead of writing a new post, I’m going to direct you to what I’ve written in years past and what others are writing today. There’s a reason for this. I could write a brand new post about the killers of that day or their victims or the selfish, wicked people who [...]

McCain’s Veep is Sarah Palin. Conservatives Rejoice. (Updated with Extra Democratic MSM Snarkiness. And Fred! And Van Palin!)

I have to admit, John McCain surprised me. I had really thought he’d go with one of his buddies (Ridge, Lieberman) or with a conventional pick (Pawlenty, Giuliani). But he didn’t. He picked Sarah Palin, someone new and exciting (though dig the unflattering picture at that link. You won’t be surprised what news organization is [...]

Is Obama’s Campaign One Long Movie Trailer?

| August 2, 2008 | Comments (0)

Jonah Goldberg has an interesting thought about the overall tenor of the Obama campaign that I’ve not seen before. Here’s the nut of his notion: The Obama campaign is not much interested in focusing on issues — it’s no doubt copious position papers notwithstanding. It is about aesthetics, emotions, impressions, the sense of being swept [...]
