Today, Friday, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was transported this morning to a rehab facility, TIRR Memorial Hermann Rehabilitation Hospital, in Houston. This follows her standing on her own, going outside (on the roof of the hospital) for some fresh air, stroking her husband’s face, and generally making remarkable, truly remarkable, progress. What a blessing. This is [...]

The Islamabad station chief of the Central Intelligence Agency hastily departed from Pakistan last week after his cover was blown due to a suspected deliberate leak by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence. This act is the latest evidence of the tense relationship between the two spy agencies. It is believed that his cover was blown in retaliation [...]

Mickey Edwards’ weekend editorial in the LA Times, The (political) party is over, states that …“the parties once served a purpose, but they have degenerated into a system that discourages independent thought and undermines representative government” and “…loyalty to one’s political club often seems to trump objective decision-making.” Amen. This is nothing new, however. Contrary [...]

(bumped up from Monday afternoon) One can only hope. Oh, hahaha – “hope” – yes, it is a part of this story. “Hope and Change” – sound familiar? It should, not just for Barack Obama, but for his buddy for whom this strategy was tested: Deval Patrick. Oh yes, in case you didn’t already know, [...]

Or perhaps this essay should be entitled “Some Advocates Are Idiots.” The idiots are MoveOn.org and Americans United for Change, who according to Karl Rove, the idiot par excellence, are targeting moderate Democrats in a vain attempt to garner support for Obama’s budget proposal. I quote the Wall Street Journal: Americans United is going after [...]

Today the American Association for Public Opinion Research Ad Hoc Committee on the 2008 Presidential Primary Polling released a pdf report on the methodologies utilized by pollsters during the Democratic primaries. It is a long report, and a cursory analysis of it is available at Pollster.com. Much of the report focuses on the discrepancy between [...]

In defining myself politically, I like to think of myself as representing a civilized consensus that does not fall into any particular political camp. More specifically: On social issues, I am a liberal. As I said in my video “Why I should be President (I am the Very Model of a Modern Intellectual)”, I am [...]

It is often difficult, if not near impossible, for an individual, company, institution, or even a government to provide a measured, honest, and unbiased perspective of a difficult situation. Given one’s proximity and emotional attachment to the situation, human nature clouds one’s viewpoint and, in turn, one’s reactions and responses. How great it is when [...]

For those of you who don’t know this golf term, it’s a do-over. It’s allowed between friends when something ruins what should have been a decent shot. Like maybe a loud noise during your back-swing. So the distraction or other accidental occurrence causes you to blow the shot. You ask for a Mulligan, and your [...]

I was delighted to see the brilliant “Sam Copeland” (his blogger name), who is currently working with our military on strategic influence, come in and comment on my Harry Truman cartoon. “Sam” apologizes for not visiting No Quarter as often as he would like, but his very acceptable excuse is, “ Support for our troops [...]

It has taken the better part of a year, and specifically the last six months of this election season, for committed citizen journalists at NoQuarter and many other blogsites to do the research on Barack Obama that the media, the democratic national committee, and our Congress should have done. Although our collective knowledge of Barack Obama [...]

Our reluctant allies on the Right believe McCain was struck by the perfect storm. McCain’s loss was less about campaign strategy failures than an incredibly unpopular president of the same party and an economic October surprise which underscored his Party’s difficulties. It really was about Change. From the National Review: 1) 2008′S OUTCOME AND THE [...]

January 19, 2008: The Obama campaign has had a deliberate strategy of calling the Clinton campaign racist and the media has allowed itself to be led along. Obama himself confessed to this strategy in the Nevada debate when shown a copy of a campaign memo directing campaign workers to use race-bating to defame Hillary Clinton. [...]

Obama never had the support of the LGBT community. Indeed, 63% of LGBT Democrats supported Hillary Clinton during the California primary, while a paltry 29% cast their votes for Barack Obama. I imagine LGBT support for Clinton was equally strong in other states, for according to a poll conducted last November, this constituency favored Clinton [...]
