Louis Rukeyser is leaving Wall Street Week, a television show he hosted for 32 years. Public Television is losing a man with a skeptical eye on Wall Street, the courage to ask the tough question, and a plethora of puns. It will be really tough for its replacement Wall Street Week with Fortune […]
National political parties will be weakened but state parties and advocacy groups like the NRA and ACLU could benefit from the new campaign finance law. The Christian Science Monitor has already named the latest political evil: “bundlers.” They are people who have contacts and persuasive powers to bundle individual contributions for a candidate. […]
Buying a Fighting Whites t-shirt: should I, or shouldn’t I? That is the question. I don’t find the shirts offensive (actually, they’re pretty funny), but do I really want to financially support a bunch of whiny, Left-wingers who have too much time on their hands?

Watch closely at how politicos, parties, and advocacy groups respond to new free speech restrictions–I mean new campaign finance laws. You will see the Law of Unintended Consequences raise it’s head and surprise us all.
The biggest short-term winner may be President Bush. Last election, he did very well raising hard money. […]
The First Amendment Restriction Act (AKA campaign finance reform) passed the Senate. President Bush is taking the cynical and political route by saying he’ll sign it even though he thinks it’s “flawed in some areas” and doesn’t meet his idea of campaign finance reform, which is “full and timely disclosure of campaign contributions.” […]
The New York Sun’s op-ed page should be a nice antidote to that of the Left-of-center Times with conservative all-stars Peggy Noonan, R. Emmett Tyrrell, Richard Brookhiser, and Amity Shlaes contributing. However, it will have to be really good to reach the level of the Wall Street Journal’s op-ed section.
“The New York Sun Introduces […]
For the first time, I’ve discovered a non-trivial Google search where TAM is #1!!

George Tenet’s comments about Iraq and terrorism aren’t really new. They are just a reminder that an Iraq that possesses chemical, nuclear, or biological weapons is a major threat to the U.S. No bombshells (no pun intended) were dropped at that Senate hearing. Tenet never said there was proof Iraq was behind […]
The Third-Party Hero is in political trouble. 63% of Minnesotans favor someone other than Gov. Jesse Ventura (I-MN) for governor. Jesse is suffering from a common argument against third party candidates: no allies. The Democrats and Republicans have locked him out of budget talks. No allies in the legislature means no […]
This story about lost Russian nuclear reactors that could be used by terrorists to make a dirty nuke is scarier than it really is. Arjun Makhijani of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research said, “If you don’t know what you are doing, it will kill you first.” Disposal workers in Georgia used […]
The Saudis are walking a very fine line. While talking tough with the U.S. over a Gulf War-like invasion of Iraq and intervening in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in order to placate strong fundamentalists at home, they do support ousting Saddam Hussein (The only national leader I can think of known best by his first […]
Nicholas Maier’s Trading With the Enemy took serious aim at money manager and financial commentator James Cramer. The book’s publisher, HarperCollins, is admitting that some of the pages contain false material and will destroy thousands of the copies of the book. The value of Mr. Maier’s other allegations are now worth about as […]
At Send Them Packing, your vote and donation could give a loud-mouthed Hollywood Leftist a one-way ticket out of the U.S.–a country many of them detest since George W. Bush’s election.
Kim Basinger is upset that she’s been linked to this site and her ex-husband Alex (not Alec) Baldwin. Her publicist said, “I don’t think […]
CNSNews.com has a two-part series on politically-bent summer camps.
The communist/socialist camp emphazies “group living, cooperative decision-making, and noncompetitive but challenging approaches to sports and games.” Everyone wins (and loses) because no one keeps score. Campers are reinforced on standard Leftist causes like abortion-on-demand, child labor, and globalization. Is there any […]
No big celebration for me this St. Patrick’s Day. Worked during the day, and now savoring a Leinenkugel’s. (I know it isn’t Guinness, but I didn’t want to fight crowds just to get a good pint.). The extent of my celebration included corned beef a few days ago and listening to the […]
