My title is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, of course. But it did occur to me, watching clips of Joe Biden late last night, that Obama’s new running mate is the closest thing to John McCain that Obama could have found in the … Continue reading →
You’ve got to hand it to him—Obama certainly knows how to milk the drama of the VP wait. And speaking of drama, I think you’ll agree that Beckett was remarkably prescient. Note especially the reference to Bush. ESTRAGON: (despairingly). Ah! … Continue reading →
Some of Obama’s slightly-less-publicized statements are the ones that concern me most. Case in point: in this WSJ column by William McGurn, the author points out that for Obama, taxes are not just about collecting revenue. What are they for? … Continue reading →
Blogger Baldilocks has a fascinating story on her own. But it’s even more fascinating these days because it runs roughly parallel for a while to that of none other than Senator Obama, although it then veers off rather dramatically from … Continue reading →
