The day before yesterday, I blogged about the fact that the British media is not only noting the John Edwards paternity scandal, but is pointing to double-standards in the American media. (Say it ain’t so, Joe!) Today, Deceiver.com has a splendid rundown of the scandal’s history, from the first moment Rielle Hunter appeared [...]

Frustrated with Washington, with career politicians, with presidential candidates who do not represent what we believe in, Conservatives presently have only one option

If the story is true, my deep sympathies to his wife. If it’s false, I wish him the best of luck.
Of note is the fact that nowhere in the New York Times article from which I quote is Spitzer ever directly identified as a Democrat.

My post title imagines what I bet a lot of the older generation of Jewish Americans will think when they learn about the latest campaign tactics from the party that knows how to do identity politics. Steve Cohen, whose name is a giveaway as to his Jewishness, is running for reelection in Tennessee’s 9th District. [...]

Chris Grayling
British Tory work and pensions spokesman Chris Grayling seems to think that it’s the Prime Minister’s fault that so many young British are bone lazy. The daily Mail reports that a fifth of children in the UK are living on benefits, because their parents aren’t working. In fact, many of them aren’t even looking [...]

On the last day of 2007, I bitched and moaned about identity politics. The science of…or the instinct to…elevate figures to high office, based not on their true qualifications for that office, but based on their perceived resemblance to me, me, me, me, me, me, me and me.

Kerry assured us that, because he spoke French and loved the UN, he would have Europeans eating out of America’s hand if he were to become President. How great must his chagrin be with the fact that it is during Bush’s watch that the Europeans are coming back to us. And it is during Bush’s [...]

The next drunk driver must restore confidence in the rule of law,” Kennedy said. “We cannot afford to take the judgment of another person like myself who either does not know a drowning young girl when he sees one or is willing to look the other way.”

It’s a wonder to see just how far over the top the left can go when on the cusp of losing another battle with the Bush Administration. This time the issue is waterboarding, that decidedly torturous act of simulating the act of drowning to solicit information from uncooperative terrorists. There are many forms of waterboarding [...]

The Democrat hate machine is screaming in pain this morning. U.S. Rep. Bobby Jindal won the Louisiana governor’s race in a not so hotly contested campaign that ended up being the highest spending campaign in Louisiana history.
This victory is huge for many reasons but most importantly because it demonstrates that Republicans can still win [...]
