"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Hugo Chavez, Looter

Weird that the New York Times would publish this: The legacy of his 14-year “socialist revolution” is apparent across Venezuela: the decay, dysfunction and blight that afflict the economy and every state institution. The endless debate about whether Mr. Chávez was a dictator or democrat — he was in fact a hybrid, an elected autocrat […]

Should Mitt Romney Go To Detroit, Or Venezuela?

by Smitty Some wags want to draft Mitt Romney to re-habilitate Detroit from the joys of decades of Democrat party policy. However, a far more sizable executive job opening now awaits to the south: Venezuela. Eugene Robinson exemplifies the slack-jawed Lefty urge to suck up to something authoritarian. “All the socialized health services, and all […]

The Rev. @ThorHalvorssen’s Universal Holiness Temple Choir of ‘Human Rights’

Thor Halvorssen is, so far as I can tell, not one of the bad guys, although I don’t remember ever hearing of him until Monday night, when I was on the phone with a MalaysiaGate source who said, “It’s this Thor Halvorssen guy who’s really pushing it.” OK, you got my attention there, Mr. Source. What […]

Malaysians, and Other Foreigners I Might Be Able to Give a Damn About, If You Could Pay Me $389,724.70 to Care

Bar Refaeli, a key element of Israel’s foreign-policy strategy (CONTENT ADVISORY: This post contains strong language, generic xenophobia and brutal cynicism.) After having briefly remarked — “Damn. Just . . . Damn.” — last night about this story, I’ve had a few conversations with friends, and taken time to reflect on the shocking news that Josh […]

Yes

by Smitty “Is America Becoming Europe?” The question remains whether our domestic idiots will completely destroy the economy before such, and whether the whole EU/US mess implodes into something still uglier. I don’t think crap stacks that high, but I’ve been show quite wrong across the board of late. via Insty

‘Professional Escort’ Tells Daily Caller Menendez Was One of Her Clients

It is, necessarily, a one-source story: A professional escort who travels the East Coast seeing clients in cities from Miami to Boston has identified a photo of Senator Bob Menendez as a man who paid her for sex. The woman, in her late 30s, told The Daily Caller prior to seeing Menendez’s photo that she had […]

Tehran Supports Chuck Hagel, and Nobody Really Seems to Care

This ought to be shocking:  Hooshang Amirahmadi, who led Rutgers’ Center for Middle Eastern Studies when Hagel came to campus, is the founder and president of the American-Iranian Council. He arranged for Hagel’s speech on March 2, 2007, the faculty source told The Daily Caller. The connection between Obama’s choice for Secretary of Defense and […]

Boyle on Menendez: ‘Miller Cut His Teeth in Democratic Scandal Management’

The shameful partisan effort of the major media to discourage attention to the Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) scandal gets a brutal beatdown from the man who originally broke the story last fall: The New York Times on Saturday published a story with a headline claiming “Inquiry of Democratic Senator Started With a Partisan Push,” referring […]
