Sept 21: Clint Eastwood Appreciation Day
Clint Eastwood gave one of the most memorable political convention speeches in the past few decades (at least), and the Left Is Not Amused, pushing their “angry, senile old man” memes for all they’re worth. Well, Eastwood also has a new movie coming out on September 21, “Trouble With the Curve”, and the Left wants […]
The real jobs growth story
96,666 jobs/month. That’s what the actual job growth has been for the last six months — much less than you might otherwise think. Here are the numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showing the mostly-downwards revisions a month or two after the initial reports: March 2012: 120,000 (March report) revised to 154,000 (April report) […]

Great sessions today: Jay Nordlinger interviewing Fred Thompson and John Sununu about running for president; a rather frank panel discussion on the potential 2012 Republican candidates involving John Miller, Tony Blankley, John Fund, Mona Charen, Robert Costa, and Raph Reed; […]

Europe to the left of me, China to the right….
