The Triumph of De-Demonizing

A prayer has been answered — not for a massive Republican victory at the polls, though that, too. No, I’m thinking of the perennial prayer of losers: “Oh Lord, let my enemies go too far.” The results of the 2014 midterms will be chewed over for weeks and months. One datum that hasn’t received much […]

Even in defeat the president remains inscrutable

In “The Secret Life of Barack Obama,” our story begins, as such stories often do, with our hero in a dream.

Berkeley Passes Tax on Soda

Despite the Democrat bloodbath, there is some good news for liberals from Tuesday.

Conservative Senators Warn Obama on Unconstitutional Amnesty Move

It is great that he will no […]

Gloating in Moderation (short fun video)

We did it!  Although we still have much work ahead—we can at least pause and catch our breath.

A Democratic Waterloo

The Duke of Wellington said of his close-run victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo that the French “came on in the same old way, and we sent them back in the same old way.” Something like that happened to the Democrats in Tuesday’s midterm elections, as they lost the Senate, a few more […]
