Eastwood’s empty chair
Barack Obama has often been called an empty suit, but last night Clint Eastwood visualized him as an empty chair. A lot of people (including me) thought Eastwood would be giving a more conventional speech. But instead he came up … Continue reading →
What do (married) women want?
Apparently not Obama. For all the furor about how Obama has the female vote, it turns out that women are hardly monolithic on that score, and that there’s a big divide between the married and the un. First, let’s look … Continue reading →
Obama the con artist
After I asked that question the other day about why so many people still consider Obama likeable, I remembered this article I wrote for PJ back in November of 2009. I thought it might be time to recycle it. Sort … Continue reading →
Who loves politics? Not George Bush
It comes as absolutely no surprise to learn that former president George W. Bush does not miss politics. In a recent interview he said: I crawled out of the swamp, and I’m not crawling back in. In general there are … Continue reading →

Ezra Klein says Paul Ryan is Obama’s golem, or something like that
Ever since Romney picked Paul Ryan as his VP, there’s been an awful lot of even-stranger-than-usual stuff coming from the mouths/pens/computers of Democrats. One of the oddest is a column by Maureen Dowd, which basically says that Ryan shouldn’t look … Continue reading →
“Where’s it written…

There’s that word again, fair: Chris Rock would like the presidential race to be more “like a real fight.” “I wish we didn’t have to stoop to this level. I wish they made it like a real fight. I mean, … Continue reading →
