NYT minimizes and conceals both extent and seriousness of Obama's multi-year ties to terrorist Ayes over multi-million-dollar conspiracy to radicalize American education

Posted on October 04, 2008
This guest-post at HughHewitt.com links and quotes Stanley Kurtz' latest, which demolishes this puff piece from the NYC on the depth and nature of the ties between Ayers and Obama.

The genesis of, and last clear chance to avoid, the national crap sandwich

Posted on October 04, 2008
The Townhall.com software and I are not good enough friends yet for me to have successfully embeded this video in a guest-post there, but I can do that here: The video, from the Republican National Congressional Committee, is pretty good in pointing out Democrats who were simultaneously defending Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, blocking reform efforts, and taking their contributions...

Did someone feed Palin answers to give Cameron for the questions from Couric which she'd ducked?

Posted on October 04, 2008
In an afternoon guest-post at HughHewitt.com, I express an opinion contrary to my good friend Patterico's about whether Gov. Palin had answers for Katie Couric about what periodicals she reads and SCOTUS decisions she disagrees with, but chose not to share that info.

The integrity gap between Obama-Biden and McCain-Palin

Posted on October 03, 2008
My latest guest-post on HughHewitt.com is a plug for Dan McLaughlin's first in a three-part series on the Integrity Gap between the two parties' tickets, and it focuses on Gov. Palin. Dan marshals the evidence in meticulous detail, always with supporting links...

Through Sarah Palin, ordinary, non-mystical Americans may reclaim their national government

Posted on October 03, 2008
To say that I was pleased with Gov. Sarah Palin's performance in the vice presidential debate would be a considerable understatement. In my latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com, I make my case for why Caribou Barbie definitely rocked.

My counsel to the House: Do the deal, don't bet the country's economy

Posted on October 03, 2008
My Thursday wee-small hours guest-post on HughHewitt.com was an essay in favor of House passage of the revised economic stabilization bill, even though it is a crap sandwich.

Nielsen ratings on Veep debate show 70 million Americans' fascination with Sarah Palin

Posted on October 03, 2008
Only the 1980 Reagan-Carter presidential debate outdrew last night's vice-presidential debate. My latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com explains why these monster ratings are great news for McCain-Palin.

Life imitating "Fargo"?

Posted on October 03, 2008
There's just no good William H. Macy in this election cycle, but in my latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com, I propose some other parallels between politicians and characters in the movie Fargo.

Carl Cameron's interview with Gov. Palin

Posted on October 03, 2008
My late afternoon guest-post at HughHewitt.com summarizes some of the gaps that Gov. Palin filled in for Fox News' Carl Cameron that she had declined to address with Katie Couric.

Palin on Hannity

Posted on October 02, 2008
Whoops. I missed one. A guest-post on HughHewitt.com, that is, in which I quoted a chunk of Gov. Palin's very good interview on Sean Hannity's radio show this afternoon.

The stage is set for the Veep debate

Posted on October 02, 2008
I'm predicting a debate that's "entertaining and informative" in my latest, and perhaps shortest, guest-post at HughHewitt.com.

SCOTUS admits blunder on UCMJ, but says "Nevermind," and shows again how Obama's model judges pull constitutional law from thin air

Posted on October 01, 2008
When the Supreme Court is so wrong, I take small pleasure in being right in predicting that they'll perversely continue being wrong. But I nevertheless claim that credit in my latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com.

Old media dinosaurs have NOT asked Sarah Palin about her actual accomplishments

Posted on October 01, 2008
If you're a regular reader here, you already knew all about Sarah Palin's accomplishments before John McCain named her as his Veep nominee. But my new guest-post at HughHewitt.com mentions three in particular that the mainstream media seems to be particularly clueless about.

Is Veep debate moderator Gwen Ifill biased?

Posted on October 01, 2008
Disclose the book, but let viewers decide if there's any real bias. So I advise Gwen Ifill in my latest guest post at HughHewitt.com.

Ifill quells no qualms by being defensive

Posted on October 01, 2008
I'm particularly proud of this sentence in my latest guest-post on HughHewitt.com: "They won't be black dollars, or white dollars, but green dollars."

In game of "Pelosi may I [vote no]?" the Speaker's answer to Dems was "Yes, you may!"

Posted on September 30, 2008
It's a long title, but it sums up my latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com pretty well, I think.

E.J. Dionne, Jr. offers definitive example of cognitive dissonance in debate analysis

Posted on September 29, 2008
E.J. Dionne, Jr. is an amusing fellow, often most so when he doesn't intend to be. My amusement at two of his most recent paragraphs generated my most recent guest-post at HughHewitt.com.

Ex-generals and admirals back McCain over Obama by 4-to-1 margin

Posted on September 29, 2008
My latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com compares the respective tallies of ex-generals and -admirals who've endorsed John McCain and Barack Obama to become the next commander in chief. Obama had an impressive line-up, literally, on stage at the DNC before his acceptance speech...

Smitten Pakistani president smacked by feminists at home for sexism towards Veep nominee Palin

Posted on September 29, 2008
My latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com ponders why feminists in Pakistan are able to recognize sexism (albeit of a fairly harmless sort) toward Sarah Palin in the actions of their own president, while American so-called feminists are blind to any and all sexism directed her way by themselves or their fellow Americans of the Hard Left.

From Bill Kristol's lips to John McCain's ear: Free Sarah!

Posted on September 29, 2008
I couldn't quite bring myself to cross-post my Treebeard & Botox post below at HughHewitt.com, so my latest guest-post there is once again on the subject of Gov. Palin. Long before whatever handlers and aides from the McCain team started advising her and planning her schedule, she was kicking butt and taking names in Alaska...

Key to economic stability bill's defeat was Pelosi's refusal to make this a "party loyalty" vote

Posted on September 29, 2008
It's not just, or even mostly, Republican nay-sayers who were against the bill either on principle or because they were offended by Pelosi's partisan speech. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was Democratic bill ? not Bush's bill, not the GOP's bill, and it went down to defeat because Speaker Pelosi refused to use the tools at her disposal...

Elections have consequences, and one of those is that Pelosi bears responsibility for the financial bill's defeat

Posted on September 29, 2008
To apportion credit or blame where due, you might want to read my late afternoon guest-post at HughHewitt.com.

Newsweek hot for "Mr. Cool"

Posted on September 29, 2008
My mid-morning guest-post at HughHewitt.com critiqued Newsweek's critique of the two presidential candidates' temperaments.

How the candidates spent the day after the first debate

Posted on September 28, 2008
My latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com could have been devoted to Joe Biden's facial expression in the photograph above. Instead, it's devoted to the fact that while John McCain worked the phones on the day after the first presidential debate to try to save the financial security of the country, Biden and Barack Obama spent the day promoting The One's presidential...

Treebeard & Botox

Posted on September 28, 2008
As is my wont, I'm using Sunday evening to watch recordings of the morning's talking head shows. Right now I'm watching Sens. Lindsey Graham and John Kerry, neither of whom I'm particularly fond of, being quizzed by Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday (having already watched a remarkably good performance by John McCain on the ABC News program, in which...

Post-mortem on the first presidential debate

Posted on September 27, 2008
John McCain had a good night, while Obama's was at best average. I explain why that translates to an Obama loss in my latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com.

On a clear day, you can indeed see Russia from Alaska

Posted on September 27, 2008
You'll learn about the difference between Ignaluk and Inalik in my latest guest-post on HughHewitt.com, plus find a link to a webcam from which, for one hour each day, you can literally peer into tomorrow.

"I wanted him to know my son's name"

Posted on September 27, 2008
My latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com is about the bracelet Obama had to read from last night during the presidential debate.

A recommendation to help you grok the current economic crisis

Cliff Notes for the current economic crisis, linked and briefly discussed in my latest HH.com guest-post.

Obama's tin ear

Posted on September 26, 2008
I think Obama has blown any chance he might have had to win the election with a single ill-chosen word, which is revealed in my latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com.
