Having used creative bribery (with our tax dollars), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid apparently has all sixty Democrats on board for a cloture vote to begin debate on his 2,074-page health care bill . While this vote will bring the legislation one step closer to passage, we still have a ways ...

As Sarah Palin once again finds herself in the national limelight, largely due to the publicity surrounding the release this week of her bestselling book Going Rogue: an American Life , many of us have been reviewing the events of last fall’s campaign as well as contrasting her record to ...

This morning, I read the first 100 pages (about one-quarter) of Sarah Palin’s book, Going Rogue: An American Life . And despite the “narrative” that this book is whiny, with the former Alaska Governor portraying herself as a victim trying to settle scores, there is no trace ...

Long before the 2008 presidential campaign, I found CBS News Anchor Tracy Flick Katie Couric annoying. Like Reese Witherspoon ’s character in the 1999 flick Election , Couric comes across as smug and self-righteous. It seems she believes that her prominence means she knows better than ...

When a reader sent me an e-mail on how Sarah Palin’s ex-son-in-law-to-be was not made welcome at a swank Hollywood Party this weekend , I begin to feel sorry for the teenager:
Levi Johnston flew first class to LA for the party and calls himself “Ricky Hollywood,” but he ...

Maybe those climatologists who had predicted ever-increasing temperatures wouldn’t be puzzled by the failure of global temperatures to keep rising had they not relied on doctored data . When someone hacked into “a major global-warming advocacy center in the UK [and had] the data ...

With his “stimulus” boondoggle going bust and unemployment at its highest rate in a quarter-century, in California at its highest rate since Barbara Boxer was in Kindergarten, the president is at his wits end; he doesn’t know what to do.
So, he’s holding a jobs summit ...

So says meteorologist Mojib Latif of the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences in the northern German city of Kiel. He is also one of Germany’s best-known climatologists. The facts have begun to overtake the fiction (NBC’s shrill Green Week was undeterred, however).

When I read last night that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid released his healthcare proposal, I was all but certain that no matter what was in the bill, California’s junior Senator, Ma’am Barbara Boxer, would vote for it, given how she marches in lockstep with her party. But, now ...

Last night, when I heard Sean Hannity ask former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin what she would do to get the economy growing again, I hoped you would reply in the same manner as former HP CEO Carly Fiorina did when Greta van Susteren asked her a similar question.

Earlier today, while doing cardio to warm up for my workout, I watched the TV screen where the local CBS affiliate was constantly cutting to live footage of students (and associated 1960s leftovers) protesting a fee increase. And their constant coverage got me wondering if the same station ...

Wondering about the Newsweek cover story of the former Governor of Alaska, David Harsanyi asks:
a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation recently found that 48 percent disapprove of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a woman busy writing policy that affects all of us. Does this not require a ...

I wrote my recent post on Al Gore primarily to contest the characterization of this crusading environmentalist as a thinking man. He may have reached his conclusions about the threat of global warming based upon sound science, but in leading a movement to impose strict government controls on ...

It all sounded good when spouted out of the mouths of MSM babes (Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and the like) and other children of our time (Joe Biden): $787 Billion to “jumpstart” the economy, and create MILLIONS of jobs!

Perhaps, it was reading stories about Robin Hood as a boy that I first came to admire Richard the Lionheart, King of England from 1189 until his death ten years later. He was the noble ruler who, when returning from the Crusades, removed his usurping brother John from the throne and undid that ...

In a post this morning, Jim Geraghty points out that Sarah Palin’s approval rating among independents is 41 while that of the president is 43 and the vice president 42 .
And she doesn’t have the advantage of a fawning press corps.
