In wake of the Boston bombing, I expected a whole lot of knee-jerk reactions. First major meltdown apparently is New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. “The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a complex word where you’re going to [...]

This really just makes me sad: Authorities in Philadelphia have arrested a man they say attacked a woman at a local subway station and threw her onto the tracks.

As expected, the United States Department of Justice is apparently filing suit againt the state of Arizona over its immigrant law. Apparently Eric Holder will be running with a pre-emptive supremacy clause. The way I understand it is Holder will be arguing that federal law trumps state law. And it does. And Holder will lose. [...]

Wanna guess where this line is quoted from? A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto? Mao Tse Teng? Hitler? The Khmer Rouge? Hannibal? Caligula? Keep guessing. Apparently a lot of people [...]

Every so often a friend says something that says what I want to say so much better than I ever could. In this case it’s CMC Sand. I’ve quoted her here before. In essence, the Obama administration has filed its response to a Michigan lawsuit challenging Obamacare. They are saying the commerce clause supports what [...]

Yesterday we had two issues, among many, that demanded Obama’s attention. Fannie Mae, the largest U.S. residential mortgage funds provider, on Monday asked the government for an additional $8.4 billion after the company lost $13.1 billion in the first quarter. Barack Obama, addressing an audience in Hampton, Virginia, said nothing. The government very quietly wrote [...]

Barack Obama surprised me on this one. He went with a woman on his last Supreme Court pick. And, she was a Latino as well. That meant, in order to cover all his bases, he needed a black male Communist, er, Socialist. Instead, he went with Elena Kagan: She’s not a he. She doesn’t appear [...]

President Obama is gearing up for a fight to get Goodwin Liu for the 9th Circuit. For those not in the know, that’s the one from San Francisco. It represents the liberal heart and soul. I don’t think you’re going to find a conservative judge in that part of the world, so that point is [...]

Eric Holder was quite proud of himself yesterday. Najibullah Zazi pleaded guilty to planning a terrorist attack on New York City. This according to Holder, was proof that his decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City was justified. Now, there are some differences between the two that Holder apparently doesn’t consider important [...]

This isn’t the first time this has happened, but it’s being discussed again ( via Kerry Picket at Newsbusters.org ): The House Energy and Commerce Committee is also looking at how it can put in place policies that would allow it greater oversight of the Internet. “Internet radio is becoming a big deal, and we’re seeing [...]
