Blame Enough to Go Around

Stuart Schneiderman gets all Freudian about Obama: In the end the American people bought an illusion, an illusion of competence and eptitude. They were wrong, and thus, they are getting screwed. (Hat-tip: Insty.) But what about those of us who never bought the illusion? Why are we forced to suffer a fate that we tried […]

Sarah Palin’s Biggest Gamble

Following up on the earlier post about Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Christine O’Donnell, I have spoken to a few sources, one of whom described this as “the longest of long shots,” a decision based not on political calculation but as a matter of “pure principle.” Another source pointed out that Rush Limbaugh might have had an influence, […]

Is it too little, too late? UPDATE: From O’Donnell’s Twitter feed: UPDATE II: Matt Lewis notes: “So far, Palin has not commented on her Facebook page or Twitter […]

Megan McArdle, Trapped By Quaint Terminology
