Ah, Thanksgiving..or more accurately this year, an interesting occurrence called Thanksnukkah, as Thanksgiving and Hannukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights and miracles overlap in a rare convergence that won’t happen again for some 70,000 years or so, thanks to Judaism’s lunar calender. The culinary possibilities are endless…latkes with pumpkin fillings, you name it. But for […]

Both the Weekly Standard (which I do not fully trust) and the Wall Street Journal (which I trust more) have called for a biometric ID card for ALL US workers to prove they have legal status. Here’s the Weekly Standard’s quoting the WSJ: The Journal writes that “at least five of the eight senators writing […]

William Kristol wrote an essay in his magazine, the Weekly Standard. It is well written and worthy of comment. Kristol’s thesis is that when we renounced the world badge and beat, we ended up with 9/11. But Kristol confuses the Cold War with the post-war era. I certainly agree with him that we were too […]

The Council has spoken, the votes have been cast, and the results are in for this week’s Watcher’s Council match up.

The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper noticed Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) saying on the Senate floor that “I am not going to keep cutting the discretionary budget, which, by the way, is not out of control, despite what you hear on Fox News . . . .” It’s rather amazing that Democrats are so blind to our spending […]

This is the most disturbing report I have seen since Obama took office. And believe me, there have been many! The sudden and unexpected drop in the unemployment numbers to 7.8% have economists scratching their heads. Especially when you consider that for every job “created”, the Obama Administration removes 10 from the workforce. According […]

Turns out, during the Republican Convention that Isaac was more bark than bite. The real problems began after the Republican Convention was completed […]

Reuters reports today, “After months of effort, President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans are right back where they started as they try to avert a looming debt default: arguing over taxes. . . .

Here’s an interesting Weekly Standardish take on the leader of the True Finns party, Timo Soini. Soini’s party may get the most votes and seats in the Finnish parliament in Sunday’s election! Soini sounds like a pretty solid conservative. He’s clearly euroskeptic. He compares the EU to their former imperialist neighbor, the (Thank God!) former […]

Robert Kagan writes a thoughtful article in the Weekly Standard on foreign intervention and defense cuts. He makes several key points. First, the list of American wars and interventions since 1898 is impressive: Depending on how one chooses to count, the United States has undertaken roughly 25 overseas interventions since 1898: Cuba, 1898 The Philippines, […]

This article in the Weekly Standard by Matthew Continetti made me wonder what is happening to conservatism today. Breaking up big banks and adding regulations is conservative? Here’s some highlights: Over the last week, however, Paul Krugman has written two columns saying the size of the banks is irrelevant; what matters are the rules the […]
