It’s not the message, stupid! But the New York Times, a goodly portion of Obama’s remaining supporters, and the Obama administration itself seem to continue to think (or to pretend?) that it is. This Times piece focuses on how David … Continue reading →
I saw the above question in the comments section of a post at Althouse, and I believe the answer is “yes.” But the reason I say this may surprise you. It’s not any one action or decision, or even several. … Continue reading →
