Melanie Philips, Humpty in Toytown and the Arab Boomerang.

‘Celebrating’ the First Anniversary of ObamaCare
There is a caucus of GOP physicians in the House of Representatives. Here they reflect on ObamaCare's first year. It's good that there are M.D.s in the Congress. Negatively, physicians are not lawyers. Positively, they are scientifically trained without being mere theoreticians: they diagnose, they cut, they sew. They are the plumbers and the auto…

Overextended Abroad, Collapsing Within
I fear for my country. Will it go the way of the Roman Empire? With a 14 trillion dollar national debt, we are in dire fiscal straits. So what does Obama the Irresponsible do? He works to socialize medicine here while expending more blood and treasure over there. The man is a disaster. His domestic and…

The Bigger the Government, the More to Fight Over: The NPR Case
An excellent illustration of this truth is the current brouhaha over the defunding of National Public Radio (NPR). Why is time and money being wasted debating this? The short answer is that government has assumed a function that is obviously inessential to it and arguably illegitimate. If government stuck to its essential tasks, one of…

National Public Radio Needs Your Support!
If you like NPR programming, as I like some of it, write them a check! Just don't demand that they receive taxpayer support. At least not now. We are in fiscal crisis, and budgetary cuts must be made. If such inessentials as NPR, PBS, NEH and NEA cannot be defunded, where will the cuts be…

Who Benefits From Public-Sector Unions?
An excellent piece by Michael Barone. Excerpt: The money in this case comes from taxpayers, present and future, who are the source of every penny of dues paid to public employee unions, who in turn spend much of that money on politics, almost all of it for Democrats. In effect, public employee unions are a…

Crossing the Rubicon in Wisconsin
Excellent commentary by Charles Krauthammer on Governor Scott Walker's fight against the budget-busting excesses of public-sector unions. Read it!

They Have Our Soul Who Have Our Bonds
Just one of the thoughts in this outstanding piece by Mark Steyn.

The Tucson Massacre: Paul Krugman et al. Continue to Get Pounded
And rightly so: Roger Kimball: Loughner’s pistol was probably still warm when Krugman wheeled into print in an effort to make political capital out of the tragedy. “Assassination Attempt in Arizona” should join that rogues’ gallery of disgusting Times stories that wallow in the gutter of political innuendo and mendacity even as they preen themselves…

The Arizona Shooting
Here is excellent commentary from Victor Davis Hanson to offset the leftist scumbaggery emanating from Paul Krugman and his ilk with his irresponsible and vile talk of a Climate of Hate. How preternaturally moronic our leftist pals who cannot distinguish conservative dissent from hate! You see, leftists think they own dissent, a bizarre conceit I…

The Giffords Assassination Attempt: Now the Blather Begins
Shooting Stuns Nation screamed the headline of this morning's Arizona Republic. Brace yourself for the crapload of liberal-left blather that has already begun to descend upon us in the wake of this terrible event. Perhaps later I will weigh in on this, but for now I refer you to Jack Shafer, In Defense of Inflamed…

Krauthammer on Reversion to the Norm and Obama’s Cluelessness
Charles Krauthammer is one astute commentator. Excerpt: Nor should Republicans overinterpret their Tuesday mandate. They received none. They were merely rewarded for acting as the people's proxy in saying no to Obama's overreaching liberalism. As one wag put it, this wasn't an election so much as a restraining order. The Republicans won by default. And their…

Keith Olbermann Suspended From MSNBC for Campaign Contributions
It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I mean that ironically, of course. The guy is a first-class moral defective. This stupid attack on the sweet and avuncular Dennis Prager as a "right-wing yakker" and "worst person in the world" is a clear example of his leftist scumbaggery. There is a very simple distinction between…

Change We Can Believe In
The Left Repudiated And don't miss this video that I found at Keith Burgess-Jackson's place, How Liberals Argue.
