It is one thing that the Obama administration decided not to try to pursue many proven cost-cutting solutions because they are too politically difficult; governing is the art of the possible.

The most surreal moment from a surreal incident. The breach isn't quite as dire as it seems -- Marc Ambinder notes that sensitive radiological and biological sensors are deployed around the perimeter of the White House to make sure nothing anthrax-y gets in -- but it's true that the ...

Things are “starting to unravel at the AGW seams,” because, apparently, the “dog ate the homework” – more specifically the temperature data on which the whole global warming “can of beans” depends. Yes, three clichés in one sentence, yet somehow apropos for this unraveling fiasco that every day becomes more eye-rolling. Today’s unraveling [...]...

Originally written for PJM: Eric Holder called his decision to try the suspected plotters of 9/11 in New York City “the toughest decision I’ve had to make as attorney general.” It was unarguably the most controversial one. In my opinion, it was also the stupidest one. The decision has rightly received plenty of criticism, but what [...]

Oh, Japan, will we ever understand your madness? From the country of USB breast warmers and the electro diva Mu now come the Helicopter Boyz in Yomiuri Land . Naoki Ito, of the ad agency GT Tokyo, decided to enlist these tweens for a Nikon promotion back in September.

Much of the discussion in recent days has been motivated by the idea that climate science is somehow unfairly restricting access to raw data upon which scientific conclusions are based. This is a powerful meme and one that has clear resonance far beyond the people who are actually interested in analysing data themselves. However, many [...]

Despite undercover videos exposing ACORN offices willing to help further the underage sex trade and prostitution in general, the radical left-wing organization will still receive federal taxpayer funds. You’ll recall that Congress defunded ACORN earlier this year after the initial videos were published. But the Obama Administration’s Justice Department now says federal agencies must still...

Jon Meacham is clearly an intelligent person and skilled writer, but his judgment about America and what America needs is somewhat inferior to that of my cat Lexie. Last November, he was telling us that the election affirmed the nation’s conservatism. Now he is urging Dick Cheney to run for president in 2012. It would be “good for the country,” he argues, “because Cheney is...

Congressional Democrats are using several budget gimmicks to disguise the cost of their health care overhaul, claiming the House and Senate bills would cost only (!) about $1 trillion over 10 years. Now that critics have begun to correct for those budget gimmicks, supporters of ObamaCare are firing back. One gimmick makes the new entitlement spending [...]

When Kobe Bryant was accused of touching parts not belonging to Vanessa Bryant , he immediately apologized to his wife by making her finger sparkle like she just gave RPattz a prostate exam. It's the only type of apology a true gold digger will accept. So it's no surprise that Tiger Woods knows he needs to go diamond mining if he wants his wife Elin Nordegren to forgive his possibly cheating ass....
