CNN Turns Out a Too Many Cooks 2016 Election Parody
Shockingly, A.) It’s pretty evenhanded, and B.) It doesn’t suck. On the other hand, Too Many Cooks was four months ago. It shouldn’t take more than a week to crank this out. Even if they did take a day to … Continue reading

Should Jews Leave Europe?
I was going to put this long Atlantic piece on whether Jews should leave Europe or not into the Friday LinkSwarm, but I think it deserves it’s own post. A few excerpts: France’s 475,000 Jews represent less than 1 percent … Continue reading

Jeremy Byrd Just as Effective at Knocking Off Benjamin Netanyahu as he Was Knocking Off Greg Abbott
You might remember that Obama dispatched Battleground Texas head Jeremy Byrd to Israel to help defeat incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Polls closed in Israel at 5 PM CDT. The results? Netanyahu just declared victory and will likely have enough … Continue reading

Rep. Jason Villalba’s War on Photography, Bloggers and Gun Owners
There’s been much talk about how State Rep. Jason Villalba’s House Bill 2918 criminalizes bloggers filming police officers, especially if they’re CHL holders who happen to be lawfully carrying at the time. Worse yet, it takes the “some animals are … Continue reading

Maureen Dowd, a deeply uneven writer, is never more interesting than when she’s taking down hubris-swollen Democrats, especially if their last names happen to be Clinton. This is manifestly true of her most recent column, an open letter to Hillary. … Continue reading
LinkSwarm for March 13, 2015
It’s Friday the 13th, spring is in the air, and SXSW crowds are flocking into downtown Austin. Here’s a LinkSwarm: Nothing says “Religion of Peace” quite like threatening to burn children alive. (Hat tip: Jihad Watch.) Any deal with Iran … Continue reading
Texas vs. California Update for March 12, 2015
Time for another Texas vs. California update: In a worst-case scenario, CalSTARS and CalPERS might need an additional $50 billion a year between them to stay solvent. If you haven’t taken a look at my piece on Stockton’s latest boondoggle, … Continue reading
