The 2008 presidential campaigns will long be remembered as historic.  Of course, one of the most remarkable thresholds crossed was the record breaking financial resources raised and spent through the process.  In fact our fund-raising for McCain-Palin 2008 raised over $450 million, by far the most...

From Lieberman to Lieberman, there is no Lieberman like Lieberman (Ariel Jerozolimski) There is an old Jewish saying comparing the Biblical Moses and Rabbi Moses ben Maimon (Maimonides): From Moses to Moses there was none like Moses. In what is perhaps the ultimate example of bathos (from the sublim...

As Ezra points out, as did a certain visiting dignitary yesterday, it must be said (painfully in my case) that the initial returns on Obama going with the "inside the tent pissing out" strategy with Lieberman have been positive. During the stimulus debate, at least, the urine did not end up primaril...

There’s a quote from an unattributed USAF Major at Ben Tre (detailed in personal detail here) describing the logic of destroying an entire village while attempting to rout a deeply embedded Vietcong: “[It] became necessary to destroy the town to save it[.]“ I don’t disagree w...

"Change" my ass. The Dems aren't even in control yet and their true colors are already starting to show: Tested before taking power, President-elect Barack Obama privately delivered a pre-inauguration veto threat to fellow Democrats on Tuesday, saying they would not deny him use of the remaining $35...

Now that it’s officially pre-2009, we can start guiltlessly recycling all the material we’ve already written into Top Ten Posts. Today’s took a surprisingly long time to compile. It seemed like a good idea to look at all the funny terms we used to describe our Political Enemies, an...

John McCain and Joe Lieberman have written a very good editorial on Iraq policy, in which they point out that thanks to the implementation of the surge and the counterinsurgency strategy–again, let us note that the President-elect and Vice President-elect opposed both of these policies and hav...
