It’s Payback Time and GM is the Loot
Larry Kudlow seems baffled by the administrations “bailout” of General Motors. What is going on in this country? The government is about to take over GM in a plan that completely screws private bondholders and favors the unions. Get this: The GM bondholders own $27 billion and they’re getting 10 percent of the common stock [...]
Apparently, the Administration Has Not Heard of Photoshop (or Global Warming)
Arrogant. Arrogant. Arrogant.
We Can’t Lead if Our President Doesn’t Like Us
Mark Steyn asks us to look a few years into the future and decide if that’s the world in which we really want to live. What’s the greater likelihood?

Why We Love the Newt.
Michael van der Galien has himself a man crush, but it’s not just any man crush, nossiree. It’s Newt-sized! Newt Gingrich is, as far as I am concerned, one of the best Republicans out there. He is intelligent, a problem-solver, understands how to win elections, and he is extremely savvy. Why yes. Yes he is. [...]
Slapping Skin with Dictators
I understand that sometimes our President has to shake the hand of a disgusting little ratlike tyrant. It comes with the territory of being a head of state. But did he really have to give him a soul shake with bonus pat on the shoulder? Really?
