This is not the first time I’ve said this. It won’t be the last, even if I disagree with him pretty frequently on social issues and often have to think to myself “Oh Grandpa,...
Despite some quibbles with his characterization of the modern Left, I hope Dan Riehl is very much on the right track in arguing that the old movement conservative establishment is no longer capable of holding the...
Rick Moran explains why “being less sucky” isn’t going to be enough for the GOP to sweep back into power this fall, even if it will be enough for the GOP to make significant...
It’s things like this that ensure that Iran’s nuclear program is at the bottom of the list of things that keep me awake at night.
Shannon Love of the Chicago Boyz takes exactly the right tact in discussing the motives of this morning’s suicide bomber of the IRS in Austin, Texas. She concludes:
Brad Warbiany: “What are the odds that the media will understand that the true problem is not that Obama is to blame or that Obama is our savior, but that this economy is the...
Like Allahpundit – and, surprisingly to me, for the same reasons – I have no idea whatsoever what the newly-released Mount Vernon Statement is supposed to accomplish. It amounts to a statement that the old Three-Legged...
On the whole, I’m fairly ambivalent about the “We Are the World” remake – some of the more dramatic changes from the (overrated to begin with) original seemed appropriate in the context of current...

I go back and forth on what I think about the propriety of the filibuster for legislative purposes, although I’m inclined towards the view that the filibuster is on the whole a good thing...

Daniel Larison makes a point that should be blindingly obvious were it not for the need for our talking heads to turn every single election into a referendum on the talking heads’ own framing...
Ross Douthat’s piece on Paul Ryan’s position within the Republican Party is almost as worthwhile as the Ezra Klein interview I linked earlier. I know that we’re rapidly reaching overkill on Paul Ryan this...
This discussion/interview between Ezra Klein and Rep. Paul Ryan is the best thing I’ve seen in the health care debate in months. Given Ryan’s position as a GOP point man on health care reform,...
A hot topic the last few months here at the League has been the issue of government accountability reform, and how best to loosen the grip of narrow interest groups over the federal government. ...
