Twitter, Hamfistedness And The Marketplace Of Ideas.
I’m staying off twitter today other than the tweet or two this generates. I won’t tell you what I think of Stacy McCain, because that bit of tribal signaling is bullshit and we should avoid. But I will tell you what I think of Twitter. I think John Hoge of Hogewash! has the right idea:…
Donald Trump: The Republican Party’s Lifeline — If He Loses In The General Election
Many on the real Right (as opposed to the statist Republican elite) are positively gleeful of the remote prospect….the faintest possibility….that the Republican Party will disintegrate with another election loss in November. It is difficult to reconcile the yawning gulf between what many rank and file Republicans want from their party and what the moneyed…
Not So Bold Predictions Part 3: South Caroline…ah-ah-ah!
Anything anything? OK, bad joke. Fine, whatever. I’m writing this just before 3CT on Friday. (It won’t post until Saturday all info was current as of then. I don’t plan on making any changes, if I do…well I’ll just change this and y’all will be none the wiser.) In any case: AND AWAY WE GO: I…
Commentary Magazine Misses The Malign Effects Of Obama’s Second Term
Contrary to Noah Rothman’s suggestion that Obama’s accomplishments during his second term are “written in sand,” he has managed to accelerate the coarsening of our political discourse, solidify racial and ethnic divisions in America that were once considered a thing of the past, and destroyed our already rapidly decaying credibility and power in foreign affairs….
You Can’t Repair A Reputation That Never Existed In The First Place!
Nevertheless, Melissa Click will try and the media apparently will be giving her their best helping hand. Consider this article in the “Columbia Missourian” I had much to say about it over on the twitters. And it appears I upset an editor/Mizzou Faculty member: @tsrblke This doesn't even make any sense. FYI. — reedkath (@reedkath) February…
The Nomination Must Go To Ted Cruz
I will stipulate that Trump’s candidacy for the Republican nomination for president has been entertaining. And his thumb in the eye of the mainstream media and the Republican Party apparatus has been a delightful thing to watch. He has shifted the discussion about immigration and our borders in ways that I would not have dreamed…
“I Dissent.”
Before I get to the meat of my thoughts, let me just note with a profound sense of loss the sudden passing of Justice Antonin Scalia. Considering he was 79 years old, I suppose the word “sudden” might not be quite accurate from the standpoint of biological longevity. But in the battle for the life of the…
Women Take Longer To Pay Off Student Loans: Apparently This Is Evidence Of…Something
In a blindingly stupid (and ignorant of basic economics) article titled Student Debt Makes College More Expensive for Women a Bloomberg Business reporter breathlessly reports that “Student debt haunts women for years longer than it stays with men…” Conspicuously lacking in this fact-free missive is any actual thought or explanation other than — and you…
Not So Bold Predictions 2: New Hampshire Boogaloo
Continuing a series, at least through New Hampshire. FWIW, I wrote these up last night for my brother’s pick ’em. You can find him on twitter @naterub and ask him if they were in last night 😛 1. Trump 24% 2. Rubio 19% 3. Cruz 15% 4. Kasich 12% 5. Bush 7% … 6. Christie…
