Obama’s Basic Problem: They Don’t Teach Economics at Harvard Law School

Ace of Spades points out the obvious: When Obama was on this supposed non-political listening tour in swing states, he actually wasn’t presenting a plan, of course.

Yub Nub!

Allahpundit had this creepy interview Anthony Weiner gave to ABC News last week: Interesting story by Radar Online and Star magazine: “Weiner Used Jewish Sexual Stereotype To Facebook Sexting Partner.” I’ve been busy the past few hours writing 1,300 words for Tuesday’s American Spectator, so I’ve lost track of what’s been happening online in the […]
