Elena Kagan: A Cookie-Cutter Leftist Nominee


It’s official: Solicitor General Elena Kagan is President Barack Obama’s second nominee to the US Supreme Court.  Today on the Daily Beast, Peter Beinart revisits Kagan’s anti-military zealotry over “don’t ask, don’t tell”—unsurprisingly, it doesn’t bother him enough to oppose her confirmation (though he does offer an intriguing nugget about administration allies offering to help [...]

Ed Koch on Israel and Obama


Ed Koch has been a public servant for many years. He was a councilman, congressman, and gained notoriety as a three term mayor of New York City. It’s difficult not to be impressed by the man who’s 86 years young and by his opinions. He is currently a writer and a partner [...]

Obama Fiddles While The Oil Continues To Spill


Barack Obama accused George W. Bush of  ”unconscionable ineptitude” in failing to respond quickly and effectively to Hurricane Katrina.  Yet his administration shamelessly excuses itself of any responsibility in waiting eight days before beginning to respond in any meaningful way to the growing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Same Mission to Mars: But Bush Attacked and Obama Applauded


Obama announces going to Mars like Bush did – but gets praised instead of pummeled. Journalism bias is all too obvious.

Hapless Chris Matthews Making a Joke of Himself with Continued Selective Outrage


Like the geek with a kick me sign on his back, Chris Matthews not only doesn’t get that Rush Limbaugh is directly gigging him with the constant references to the “Obama regime,” he is keeping the gag going with his continued manufactured outrage—and all of his MSNBC friends at the not cool lunch table are [...]
