It’s time…
…for another rara avis. [NOTE: Yes, I know there’s sometimes a way to make these things smaller to fit on the blog properly. But for this particular video, the method didn’t work (sigh).]

Obama: fooled you once
Ted Van Dyk doesn’t get it. In his new WSJ piece he’s addressing an Obama that doesn’t exist—a reasonable guy who’s just a bit overwhelmed and misguided, one who’s ceded his program to others and who just needs to “get … Continue reading →
