The ancient Greek playwright Euripides [484-406 BC] had it right when he wrote “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.” Comedy Central’s chief faux anchorman Jon Stewart and pretend “conservative spokesman” Stephen Colbert have been blowing on stone dead coals trying to catch a flame to roast Republicans–necessarily passing over Dems who are imploding before our very eyes with a madness which only turns calm to comprehend itself. Take a look at the following news stories which have been sedulously avoided by the mainstream press and …

Q. We know your views about Gingrich for President but–.
A. Well they haven’t changed. Henry Hyde’s original statement made to me that he is 50% genius and 50% nuts and our job is to determine which idea is still holds. That same assessment was made to me about Winston Churchill when I was at St. John’s College, Oxford as a visiting fellow thirty years ago by an aged man who shared High Table with me who had a member of Churchill’s war cabinet. “He would …

To the Most Rev. Jerome Listecki, Archbishop of Milwaukee:
What in the world possessed you to turn out a statement conveying the view of all the state’s bishops that comes down on the side of the amply well-paid union strikers in Wisconsin?

I write as a labor union member in good standing (American Federation of Television and Radio Artists AFL-CIO). Your statement was maintains it is a plea for “the legitimate rights” of public employees. Thus it was immediately snapped up by the liberal media as endorsement of the well-paid public …

Good Riddance.
Gee whiz, moans Capital Fax, which has an abiding tolerance for Leftist demagogues…in contradistinction to the Right which it despises…the Illinois Senate “won’t be the same without Rickey Hendon.” No-no, the publication sees no connection between the West Side flash-in-the-pan’s instant resignation and the federal probe underway for state grants he authorized—of course not; it would be mean-spirited and racist, that’s what. Also that’s the courtesy the publication gives to all its liberal friends (no connection, see, because he seems so calm—just suffering from hypertension).

The …

Q. The big issue yesterday was Gov. Mitch Daniels’ decision not to take up full support of a bill in the Indiana House that would make Indiana a “right-to-work” state. And as to whether this should remove him from consideration for the presidency.
A. I’ve criticized Daniels for suggesting social issues be “off the table” for the 2012 presidential campaign and subsequent next term—which I still believe. But here Daniels is right. First, there is no doubt where Daniels stands on public sector unionism since on …

The smashing 55 percent victory scored by Rahm Emanuel for mayor of Chicago means that he will attune a latch-key slimmed down governance plus old-fashioned entrepreneurialism to become the best mayor in the country…confident that by solving the city’s woes which are the country’s own—overspending, public union autocracy—he will become “America’s Mayor” and grease the skids for a future run toward higher office….which does not exclude the presidency.

If Rudy Giuliani who led the Republican presidential polls most of the time in 2008 had not been weighed down with personal baggage…such …

Q. One thing you do is constantly change favorites for the presidency. Where are you now?
A. Now’s the time to change your mind and frequently. Start out with this absolute. I don’t care how brilliant Mitch Daniels is on the budget or as a governmental manager—the name of the game is still Ronald Reagan’s famed three-legged stool. The ideal candidate should stand for economic solvency…a strong military-foreign policy…and traditional social issues. Mitch’s suggestion in The Weekly Standard that there should be a moratorium …

Rush Limbaugh said yesterday that the social conservatives’ hub-bub over C-PAC’s invitation of GOProud to participate in its big parley is foolish. Why? Because, he asked do the Democrats try to exclude liberals who aren’t in line 100% with ideology?

No, he thundered. But of course the answer is yes. They don’t demand line-by-line comformity but down-the-line comformity on ideology. You can support modest changes in Obama spending but by no means can you support pro-life or anti-gay “rights.”
The difference is this. Conservatism is indeed the …

Dan Schmidt, president of WTTW-TV, your Window to the Left, has done a paid-by-you commercial which runs regularly urging viewers-like-you to write the Congress to protest the demise of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting by GOP appropriators which would dam up the trough of public dollars going to his television station.

Which would mean his russet-haired aging radical feminist Carol Marin who gets two other paychecks in addition to WTTW’s would be severely limited in using her “special correspondent’s” status to serve as ring-bearer for gay marriage…or for attacking an authenticist …

Some people think there’s been a Parson Weems flavor to the buildup of Ronald Reagan. Yes, it’s true– but it’s by no means comparable to that of JFK. We live now in a purposely engendered romanticized bubble invented by liberaldom’s twisted historian-hack, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. where everything about John Kennedy is pronounced great. His womanizing hasn’t dented his stature at all—whereas Richard Nixon who accomplished the major coup of splitting the Sino-Soviet bloc, a major turning-point in the Cold War—is regarded as evil, corrupt …
