A suggestion to Romney for the 3rd debate
In the second debate Obama ordered somebody—Crowley, Romney, all of us?—to “get the transcript” of his Rose Garden speech. So maybe Romney should oblige, and say something like this: Mr President, last week during our debate you told the American … Continue reading →
Dance teachers I have known: Finis Jhung
I came across a video that was touted as amazing, featuring a 75-year-old man who still teaches ballet. My first thought was, “That’s not the least bit amazing.” Quite a few of the ballet teachers of my youth reached that … Continue reading →
Bringing them to justice
Apparently the wheels of justice grind slow: Witnesses and the authorities have called Ahmed Abu Khattala one of the ringleaders of the Sept. 11 attack on the American diplomatic mission [in Benghazi]. But just days after President Obama reasserted his … Continue reading →
Obama’s “optimal” remark…
…was most definitely not optimal. And yet that sort of gaffe isn’t the sort of thing that especially interests me (your mileage may differ). Everyone already ought to be aware that he’s got a cold attitude, and that he’s made … Continue reading →

At the risk…
…of becoming a bloody bore on the topic of Crowley, Obama, the debate, and Benghazi—even more than I may have already done—please bear with me for one more post. When I took another look at the text of Obama’s Rose … Continue reading →
Alert!: non-election post
Tired of the election? Tired of my writing about it? Don’t despair. Here’s a thread to pause and refresh. Take a big drink of water and a deep breath. In other news, it’s a beautiful day here in New England. … Continue reading →
The meme of Romney the woman-hater must be preserved at all costs…
…even to the point of a ridiculous fastening on a phrase whose meaning is quite clear in context, and non-pejorative. Thus, the binder brouhaha. The left believes it necessary because Mitt Romney cannot be seen as he really is, a … Continue reading →
Election 2012: it seems The Onion is everywhere
Hard to believe that this is serious—and seriously meant to demonstrate “objectivity.” But according to Powerline’s John Hinderaker, who is relying on TMZ, it’s a copy of an internal CNN email responding to criticism of Candy Crowley’s debate moderation. But … Continue reading →
