The Bishops make their move
So it looks like the Bishops have decided to double-down on their latest effort to have the Federal Government enforce Church Law. The President offered up a rhetorical solution in response to their rhetorical freak-out over language in a new health insurance rule and the fiction that their objection was about religious freedom was exposed [...]

Why Republicans are Crawling Into Women’s Vaginas
More good news: jobless claims are down again. Here’s a graph of jobless claims from Steve B (click to embiggen) that explains why the Republican Party is ginning up the culture war—it’s easier than acknowledging that the economy is getting better.

Getting to Know All About You
Following up on Zandar’s post on polling, I just want to add that my favorite graph just keeps getting worse. And there’s this: Overall, 55 percent of those who are closely following the campaign say they disapprove of what the GOP candidates have been saying. By better than 2 to 1, Americans say the more [...]

Something’s Wrong, Something’s Amiss
Gosh, I can’t quite put my finger on what’s bothering me about this analysis of Romney’s performance in Florida from CNN’s Juan Carlos Lopez here, but it’s just not right. How Romney won Florida’s Latino vote Huhwha? Did I miss something? As Mitt Romney dominated the Florida Republican primary Tuesday night, he also captured the [...]

Morning in America
Do you remember when one of the big MSM critiques of Democrats was the lack of optimism they showed, how they were always scolding and negative about our future, and how Americans, who are fundamentally optimistic, couldn’t identify with the party and its candidates because of it? I do, but apparently this guy doesn’t, because [...]

All right in a sort of a limited way
Laura Ingraham today on her radio show: Rick Perry should drop out of this race. . . . And I like Rick Perry, I thought he was pretty cool in the last debate, except for that little problem with calling Turkey an Islamic terrorist regime. I mean, God bless him but he’s not put in [...]

Open Thread: McCain for Obama 2012!
As NYMag’s Daily Intel reminds us: Using out-of-context quotes in attack ads is quintessential campaigning. Mitt Romney recently said that practice was “fair game.” The Conventional Wisdomeers may harrumph about “taking advantage of an old man’s senile dementia”, but I believe John McCain just hates Willard Romney so much that he can’t even shape his [...]

The shape of things to come
There are those who say that Bob Somerby’s obsessive focus on the War On Gore is overdone, but I think Elias Isquith might have a point here: An underrated aspect of what will be the 2012 election is the fact that, just as they hated Al Gore in 2000, the national political press hates Mitt Romney. For [...]

Department of Predictions
From this morning’s Toledo Blade: Investment from resurgent American automakers made big news in 2011, with General Motors and Chrysler announcing multiple large projects in Toledo and northwest Ohio that together total nearly $1 billion and should create or help preserve almost 3,400 jobs. Promise for the future of manufacturing in northwest Ohio was one [...]

I wanna be your dog
Rickroll: Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leads in a new CNN poll of Iowa six days before the January 3rd caucuses, outpacing Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) 25 to 22. But the real surprise in the poll is that former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum moved to third with 16 percent of the vote, after months of [...]

Someone call B. A. Baracus
Rich Lowry at K-Lo’s Christmas Crib of Despair: Speaking of discontent with the Republican field, I talked the other day to a pretty prominent conservative officeholder who’s constantly been discussing with people around the country the possibility of a new entrant or a push to draft someone. But who? One name he mentioned is Bobby [...]

Well, come on, come on down, sweet Virginia
In the latest sign that his campaign organization hasn’t kept pace with his recent rise in the polls, GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich failed to qualify for the primary ballot in his home state of Virginia, the state Republican Party announced early Saturday. ... After state GOP officials verified the signatures submitted by the campaigns, [...]

Working As Intended, Citizen Pierce!
Charlie Pierce, Esquire, is alarmed by a new “pediatric health” study: Of all the numbers in this new study, the following remains an astonishing statistic: By the time they’re 23, 41 percent of American kids have been busted for something more serious than a traffic stop… To me, it’s an indication of that something is [...]

Regulatory disappearing act
DougJ linked to this NYTimes piece on for-profit colleges yesterday. Read the whole thing, or I’ll just give you my summary: the federal government attempted to regulate for-profit colleges, a huge army of lobbyists descended, and the federal government gutted the regulations. Arne Duncan isn’t quoted in the piece, but I’ve been reading up on [...]

The Professor teaches history as fantasy…
The Professor likes to cast himself as a “Historian”. When you listen to his views on the events of the past and their meanings it becomes quite clear that his idea of history is as a tool for telling stories that support his political goals, please his patrons and line his pockets. For Newt, History [...]
