  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  Today marks the 46th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy .

  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  Back in September, we referenced the World Wildlife Federation’s botched advertisement associating global warming with 9/11 ; this ad by the appropriately named “Plane Stupid” attempts to do much the same. What else does one think of when watching bodies fall from the sky in an urban environment filled with ...

  As Jonah Goldberg writes, “ Palinophobes Hate First, Ask Questions Later” : S late magazine is just one of the countless media outlets convulsing with St. Vitus’ Dance over that demonic succubus Sarah Palin.

• New Silicon Graffiti Video: “The Pinchurian Candidate”

  
  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  The weekend before November’s elections, Frank Rich of the New York Times wrote a curious column titled, “The G.O.P. Stalinists Invade Upstate New York. ” Apparently, in Rich’s mind, because conservatives thought — accurately as it turned out — that Dede Scozzafava, running for Congress in New ...

• “We’re In A Big Puritanical Mode”

  
  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  I’ll say one thing about the Hollywood studio system of the 1940s and ’50s: every actor and actress had the occasional bomb, but you rarely heard Cary Grant, John Wayne, Bogie or Bacall blaming the customers when their picture tanked : Another day, another nugget of awesomeness from Megan Fox. The actress ...

  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  Last week, when I was at the supermarket checkout line, I came across this cover of Time: Main Street hates Wall Street? Isn’t such a broad “lumper” of a question rather specious to begin with? Despite the best efforts of the president, plenty of people on Main Street are still rather prudent ...

• Can The Clinton Coalition Survive Obama?

  
  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  At Real Clear Politics , Sean Trende writes, “You only get to elect the first black President once, and governing a coalition of suburbanites, poor blacks, and upper class liberals isn’t easy.

  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150

• End Clinton-era Military Base Gun Ban

  
  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  For those who are wondering why an army base of all places is, effectively, a gun-free zone, the Washington Times notes its origins : Among President Clinton’s first acts upon taking office in 1993 was to disarm U.S. soldiers on military bases.

• All The News That Gifts

  
  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  Newsbusters’ Clay Waters notes an interesting rhetorical tic in the Gray Lady’s coverage of the left. I wonder if this phrase has its own entry in the Times’ style manual: New York Times reporter Peter Baker questioned whether President Obama’s soaring rhetoric (”the most gifted orator of his ...

• Dreaming Of A Red Christmas?

  
  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  At Big Hollywood, S.T. Karnick notes that, as he calls it, Robert Zemeckis’s  “motion-capture-animation version of the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol” had a disappointing opening weekend.

• Al Gore And The Original Assault On Reason

  
  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  Dubbing Al Gore “The Thinking Man’s Thinking Man”, Newsweek has yet another of its unintentionally ironic headlines.  (At least we think the irony is unintentional, although Conquest’s Third Law is always a potential factor.) And while we won’t say a word about the inherent sexism in the headline ...

  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  Jonah Goldberg writes, “After the September 11 attacks, we had the 9/11 Commission and countless knock-off studies, committees, investigations, hearings, journalistic exposés, and outings of fact-finders.

• The Desire Named Streetcar

  
  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  Great post on the silliness of light rail by Diane Medved , wife of the Seattle-based talk radio host: Everyone knows that light rail is a financial disaster. I can’t find any instance where publicly funded rail lines have made a profit. Rather, they serve a political agenda–to eliminate private autos and ...
