President Obama shocked the nation today, when he announced the nomination of U.S. Court of Appeals judge, Sonia Sotomayor, to replace retiring Justice David Souter. What? True, Sotomayor was everyone’s guess from the moment Souter announced his retirement. Any other choice would have likely resulted in disappointed outrage from the left. [...]

In an amazing demonstration of poor judgment the FAA approved an Air Force “photo op” over New York City. At 10am Monday morning New Yorkers lost bladder control as it appeared Air Force One might be on a suicide mission into the heart of lower Manhattan. As cynical as that might strike you, [...]

Founding Bloggers interviewed the CNN Reporter that was arguing with tea party-goers from before, and it’s a very good look at the bias that’s present in any given broadcast.
Found this via Patterico. The CNN part of the video’s obviously been discussed to death, so I won’t go into that.
Perhaps the more [...]

Everywhere conservatives are screaming-they are now labeled “right-wing extremists” by Janet Napolitano and the Department of Homeland Security. They are proud of the label since they are opposed to the entire Obama administration, but they are scared at the same time-the “right wing extremist” document(s) probably prompted a large portion of the conservative base to [...]

“When the Round Table is broken every man must follow Galahad or Mordred; middle things are gone.”
-C.S. Lewis
A writer at the journal First Things gives an explanation in this article:
“His point was that the time may come when the societal bonds are so ruptured that forceful confrontation will become necessary with those who, until then, [...]

Gasoline prices may hit the $1.00 mark soon.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Oil prices hit four-year lows Friday as employers cut the highest number of jobs in 34 years. The continuing decline in prices is so dramatic and so sudden that it is raising the prospect that gas prices could soon fall below $1 a gallon.
The [...]

I’ll return in full force within the next week, sorry about my unexcused absense the last week. I’ve had some things to attend to.
In the mean time, our other writers will keep things entertaining.

There is now talk that the israelis are indeed considering a strike on Iran, with or without U.S. cooperation, the possibility discussed here previously in a ‘Gray scenario’. The timing would be right: low oil price, a new focus on Islamic terrorism because of Mumbai, and the transition status of American administrations. The israelis have [...]

Today’s stock market rally was predicted by blogger Vox Day last week. I have read his blog occasionally for the past few years but only recently did I start seeing posts about Austrian economics and notice that he really does understand how the market works. The truth is the market has a long way to [...]

A great article on the real meaning of Thanksgiving:
The less industrious members of the colony came late to their work in the fields, and were slow and easy in their labors. Knowing that they and their families were to receive an equal share of whatever the group produced, they saw little reason to be more [...]

Perhaps a Republican nominee that actually understands economics for once?

Thoughts on George W. Bush
The past eight years have been interesting ones. We have seen an attack on the United States by radicalized Muslims, we have seen one large recession and the beginning of what could be a major depression, we have seen our military send troops to two different countries in large numbers and we have seen China [...]
