Will Capitalism Save Obama?

Posted on October 29, 2011October 28, 2011 by Roger Simon

If the old saw, “No good deed goes unpunished,” is true, or at least has some truth to it, then what about its corollary: “No bad deed goes unrewarded”? Between promoting the rebranding of PJ Media and eyeballing the seriocomic “occupy” demonstrators down the street from the Capitol, I was puzzling that conundrum while in […]

Daley Says Obama ‘Frustrated’ but Sees Close Re-election

Posted on October 28, 2011October 28, 2011 by Roger Simon

It is a sunny day at the White House, with bright light streaming through the gauzy curtains that cover the patio doors and many windows of Bill Daley’s corner office in the West Wing. And so I try to find some underlying gloom. Daley, the White House chief of staff, will twice in the course […]

Letter to the Republican Candidates From a Former Democrat

Posted on October 20, 2011October 19, 2011 by Roger Simon

Dear Lady and Gentlemen, As you all know, we are living in parlous times, the most economically precarious since the Great Depression and the most militarily threatening since the fall of the Soviet Union.

The Republican race has turned into “The Wizard of Oz.” Rick Perry wants a brain. Mitt Romney wants a heart. And any number of candidates are Dorothy, realizing there is no place like home and they should have stayed there. Herman Cain is seeking courage. He needs the courage to face the fact he is […]

Who Will Be the GOP Messiah?

Posted on October 7, 2011October 6, 2011 by Roger Simon

Barack Obama is so doomed politically that he sits behind his desk in the Oval Office with a vulture on each shoulder. And every day at noon, Joe Biden comes in dressed as the Grim Reaper, and they all play gin. I know this because the Poll Gods tell me this. A recent McClatchy/Marist poll […]

Can Obama Legally Kill You?

Should the president have the right to kill you? And if so, under what circumstances? If you are a U.S. citizen living in the United States and plotting the murder of your neighbors — let’s say they mow their lawns very early every Sunday — it is unlikely a predator drone will launch a Hellfire […]
