Bush-bashing never goes out of style
My new piece is up at PJ.

A couple of days ago I wrote about a NY Times editorial that seemed on the surface to be critical of Obama’s foreign policy, but was really a cleverly crafted apologia for him. Make no mistake about it: the Times … Continue reading →
Harry Reid’s war against the Kochs
Here’s the latest installment in Harry Reid’s two minutes hate against the Koch Brothers: Charles and David Koch are one of the “main causes” of climate change, charged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on the Senate floor. “While the Koch … Continue reading →
Tea Party problem: too many choices
What happened in North Carolina last night? I think that blogger CAC at Ace’s hits the nail on the head in this post, and points out a problem that GOP conservatives had better figure out a solution to or they’ll … Continue reading →
