I set the DVR just before Obama’s Hail Mary healthcare reform speech to Congress was going to start and took a short drive to Tony Passaro’s house. I had to give him my check for $30 to reserve a seat on the bus caravan Tony is organizing to attend the 9/12 Tea Party in Washington, …

Obama closed his Labor Day speech today to the members of the AFL-CIO in Cincinnati, Ohio — a state whose coal industry he has declared he intends to destroy — who were gathered for their Labor Day picnic by telling the story of a woman in Greenwood, South Carolina, who had inspired him during his …
Where is the singer who can get Pres. Obama to say what Marilyn Monroe inspired Pres. Kennedy to say after she sang?:
I play the bassoon in the Bel Air Community Band and usually we play a concert for the Independence Day celebration just before the fireworks at Bel Air High School — which is the descendent of the school attended by John Wilkes Booth, since this is where he was born and raised. However, a new …

I am taking quite the shellacking over a piece of mine at Pajamas Media entitled, “My Blissful Gay Marriage.” Around noon or so, Eastern Time, it was dropping down …

(See here for the decision.) Prof. Jacobson writes, “The Court rejected the …

You don’t just know a minority has arrived when one of its members — Barack Obama — becomes president. Or — Michael Steele — head of a major political party. The real sign of having arrived for a minority is for its members to start bashing on the gay people who truly believed the rainbow …

Social conservatives and Republicans who support the propaganda that Intelligent Design is scientific are destroying the credibility of the G.O.P. as a supporter of the scientific method, just as Charles Johnson says today (and almost every day) at Little Green Footballs. This matters because fiscal conservatives must use science to defeat the specious science used …
