And I do not mean just for Gitmo. I mean for AMERICANS. Yes, you read that right, Obama is going to sign into law INDEFINITE DETENTION for AMERICAN CITIZENS. Moreover, this applies not just to US Citizens abroad, but right here at home. Constitution, Schmonstitution, who needs that crappy old piece of paper? Apparently not [...]

Well, well, well. All kinds of people are coming out of the woodwork suggesting Hillary Clinton oughta give Obama a run for him money. From the recent Chicago Tribune Editorial by Steve Chapman in which he exhorts Obama to step down, and Clinton to step up, to Dick Cheney, who not only suggested she would [...]

Now, I know that many of us – members of the “reality based community” – did not believe for one skinny second that Barack Obama was ever going to be transparent or bring real change to the White House. Frankly, it is ludicrous on its face to refer to someone as “transparent” who refused to [...]

Friday, John Phillips of the LA Times ruminated on the method by which New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will be “courted” and drafted to run for President in 2012. Christie has stated repeatedly that he is not ready for the office, will not be induced to enter the race and is committed to fulfilling his [...]

I never thought I would see the day that ex-Governor Sarah Palin, WSJ’s Peggy Noonan, and WaPo’s Eugene Robinson* would agree on anything. Hell must have frozen over. Their unlikely agreement came as all three insisted it would have been better for the White House to release the post-mortem photos of Osama bin Laden, rather [...]

Bin Ladin is dead. Again. In the last ten years he has been reported “killed” at least four times. The only difference this time was that the President of the United States announced the death of the number one terrorist in the world. Above all, this time he was killed not in Tora Bora, not [...]

Update below the fold. I had another post all ready to go this morning of Lara Logan’s interview on “60 Minutes,” but that can keep until tomorrow. Today, the big news, as President Obama announced late last night, Osama bin Laden has been killed. The reports have been a bit conflicting on just how he [...]

* Bumped Up * Let the White House Proclaim: Happy Hugo Chavez Day! Happy Ramadan! Happy 100th Anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire! Happy Eid-ul-Fitr Happy Earth Day! Happy Eid-ul-Adha! Happy Nowruz! If you are waiting for a Happy Easter Proclamation, though, you’ll have to wait until at least next year, since Obama didn’t [...]

It is odd that progressives and conservatives alike are so preoccupied with Donald Trump’s potential run for the Presidency while simultaneously averring from the depths of their collective beings that he would have no merit as a candidate. Whether he would make a good or horrible president is not the point — not at this [...]

Over three months ago, I wrote a post about the price of gasoline, “Up, Up, And Away.” At the time, I was lamenting how gas prices were around $3 a gallon, and outlined some of the difficulties these kinds of prices place on regular old people like us. I did not think that the prices [...]

Salmaan Taseer is dead. He’s neither the first politician, first liberal, the first outspoken bullish pugnacious politician who was killed. Nor is he last. There were many, there will be more. He was the sitting governor of Pakistan’s biggest province and was assassinated by his own bodyguard. Does Pakistan suffer today because of his death? [...]

In the current bout of progressive hand-wringing over President Obama’s latest “compromise” on the Bush tax cuts, everyone from Keith Olbermann to Frank Rich to Paul Krugman to Bill Maher to Eleanor Clift is directing their erstwhile wunderkind to return to his principles, get his mojo back, stop being wimpy and declare his refusal to [...]

Well, at least according to Newsweek, that is. Yes, the brain trust at Newsweek have decided that the US ranks eleventh in the world. Why?
