Horsemen of the Obama Apocalypse: Famine leads by a nose

    David Harsanyi’s new book, Obama’s Four Horsemen: The Disasters Unleashed by Obama’s Reelection is out today.  He posted a hefty excerpt over at Human Events, where he and I are two of the primary horsemen.  Based on this, I think he wants to be Death, and I’ll be War. He’s using the apocalyptic metaphor to describe a very serious paradigm shift covering the eight years of Obama, coupled with | Read More »

    Gail Collins: all hat and no cattle.

    In the latest Muppets movie, the plot (such as it is) revolves about a villain seeking to destroy the Muppets’ theater. There’s oil beneath the structure, and the evil Tex Richman will stop at nothing to get it. Just in case the subtlety escapes you: he’s the bad guy because he’s rich, he’s mean, and he’s Texan.

    Tech at Night, er, Morning: Banning books, Net Neutrality, Free Press, NPR

    Yes, I’m sorry. When I found out yesterday morning that it was Labor Day, I did shift gears and relax a bit. By the evening I was treating it like a weekend and forgot all about Monday’s Tech at Night. So we’re making it a Tuesday morning Tech in the Morning instead.
