Update: I expand on Coulter’s weird one-eighty concerning Mitt Romney in a column for today’s American Spectator. Read it here.
Of the conservative writers I admire, there is but one whose books I never fail to buy—Ann Coulter. She’s smart as hell and, more importantly, courageous. She has always been willing to write what many conservatives don’t have the guts to say. […]

ROMNEY ADVISOR SAYS NOT TO EXPECT FULL REPEAL OF OBAMACARE
Yep. You read that right. Norm Coleman, an important advisor to Mitt Romney, said the following on a talking heads gasfest a couple of days ago:
You will not repeal the act in its entirety, but you will see major changes, particularly if there is a Republican president … You can’t whole-cloth throw it out. But […]
THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING THE MSM
My column in today’s American Spectator discusses the shallowness that pervades contemporary journalism and how Newt Gingrich has exploited it to keep his campaign alive:
Newt realized early on that much of the voter indignation that has manifested itself in the Tea Party movement is driven by media complicity with Obama in his ongoing effort to […]
THE THELMA & LOUISE PARTY
My column in today’s American Spectator laments a Republican primary process that seems destined to end in the nomination of the only politician in the country who can’t beat Obama in November:
In the final scene of Thelma & Louise, when Detective Hal Slocumb realizes that the two desperate demoiselles are about to drive off the […]

In a recent interview, President Obama said his accomplishments have exceeded those of all but three past Presidents. This video shows how these “accomplishments” stack up against some of the predecessors he believes himself to have surpassed in greatness:

ECONOMIC ILLITERACY HAS CONSEQUENCES
In today’s American Spectator, I discuss the breathtaking illiteracy about economics that pervades the Democratic Party:
The Secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis, visited Capitol Hill last week and claimed that the unemployment rate will increase if Congress fails to extend the eligibility period for federal unemployment benefits. My first reaction to this Orwellian assertion was a […]
NEWT: HEALTH CARE SHOULD BE DELIVERED ‘WITHIN A FRAMEWORK SET BY GOVERNMENT’
More evidence that Newt Gingrich has been on the wrong side of every aspect of the health care debate. In this video, from a discussion with congressional staffers in 2003, he compares the government’s role in health care to that which it played in building the interstate highway system … sigh.

HSIEH: SCREENING FOR TERRORISTS VERSUS SCREENING FOR CANCER
In his latest op-ed for Pajamas Media, Paul Hsieh points out one of the profound ironies of our era:
Our government currently tells air travelers, “Submit to our screening despite the dubious effectiveness, bodily invasion, and needless emotional distress”
And yet:
In the realm of health care the federal government has adopted a new policy of discouraging routine […]
A NEW FLOATER IN THE OCARE PUNCHBOWL
Another day, another ObamaCare glitch. This time, it involves a design flaw in the way the much-vaunted insurance exchanges are subsidized:
The law encourages states to create health-insurance exchanges, but it permits Washington to create them if states decline. So far, only 17 states have passed legislation to create an exchange.
Why, you ask, does that matter?
This […]
VIDEO: OBAMA THINKS HAWAII IS IN ASIA
A little reminder that Herman Cain and Rick Perry are not the only politicians who suffer from intermittent brain flatulence. And, while we’re on the subject of gaffes, I wonder if the President thinks Hawaii is the 57th state?
