If Obama loses…
…(and my hand trembled as I typed that title, so badly do I want it to be so), the excuses will have been written ahead of time. Odd, isn’t it? But fully in line with the word from Obama himself: … Continue reading →

Last night’s debate
Comment of the evening: Two weeks left; I say, fix bayonets!! Those picayune military details are hardly Obama’s forte, although that doesn’t keep him from mocking Mitt Romney. Actually, I’m hard-pressed to think what Obama’s forte might be: snark, perhaps? … Continue reading →
The third debate
Here’s a thread for discussing debate number three, which takes place tonight at 9:00 PM Eastern Time. I have a family event to attend and won’t be watching, although I might be home in time to see the very end … Continue reading →
Ah, those fickle women voters
That’s what Obama must be thinking. What struck me when I read this article was how many of the women interviewed focused on bits and pieces of things without looking at the whole picture or even the bigger picture, and … Continue reading →
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 →
Follow up: was there collusion between Obama and Crowley?
I admit at the outset I don’t know the answer. But I wonder why no one in the MSM is asking the questions. I take that back; I don’t wonder. I don’t think they want to know. But if I … Continue reading →
Romney does stand-up
And very very well, too: And let me just say, at the risk of being thought shallow, that nobody can do white tie like Romney can do white tie. As he acknowledged: “It’s nice to finally relax and wear what … 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 →
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 →
And you know what we forgot…
…amidst the brouhaha about whether Obama called the Benghazi attack an “act of terror” in his Rose Garden speech, and whether Candy Crowley overstepped, and all that jazz? We forgot that Obama never answered that guy’s question. We forgot—but the … Continue reading →
I missed last night’s New England earthquake
There was an earthquake yesterday at 7:12 PM in southern Maine (no, that’s not a typo). It measured 4.0 on the Richter scale and was felt over a wide area. I didn’t feel it at all, though. I was in … Continue reading →
