“Mancession” Opportunity by Tom Purcell It sounds good to me. I speak of an opportunity made possible by the “mancession.” You see, the recession that began in December 2007 hit male-dominated industries, such as construction, harder than female-dominated industries. The male unemployment rate hit 10.4 percent in November 2010, whereas the female unemployment rate hovered around 8 percent. This “mancession” has resulted in some interesting domestic changes for...

GOP Pledge Drive Raging Moderate, by Will Durst I pledge. You pledge. We all pledge. Pledge allegiance to the flag. Pledge to stop smoking and drinking. As much. In front of the kids. NPR and PBS are ridiculous with their annoying pledge drives. Our leaders pledge and pledge and pledge to stop ignoring the past. Then they don’t. And in every second living room in America you can smell Lemon Pledge. These are the pledges of our lives. But this campaign season, the whole pledging thing has...

Labor Day 2011 and Obama’s Job-Killing Policies by Susan Stamper Brown Three years in, and the Obama administration’s attempts to fix unemployment have been about as effective as trying to scratch your ear with your elbow. Despite countless tricks, schemes and maneuvers to change the labor outlook in this country, the administration either lacks the ability to work their way through the problem, or it simply refuses to for fear of going against the Progressive agenda. Good leaders usually...

Republican Party a Disaster when It Comes to Disasters by Karl Frisch You’ve got to hand it to the Republicans. They’re doing a heckuva job when it comes to their political posturing on emergency response and disaster preparedness. You know, like Michael “Heckuva Job Brownie” Brown did as George W. Bush’s FEMA chief during Hurricane Katrina. At least Brownie had an excuse. Before Bush tapped him for the big leagues his last gig was with the International Arabian Horse...

The Case for Separation of Church and Weather by Tina Dupuy The Moche lived in northern Peru from about 100-700 A.D. Their molded ceramics are still a highlight in the annals of human accomplishment. If you walk through a museum of pre-Columbian art, it’s easy to spot a Moche piece — the faces are so realistic you expect them to wink at you. Around 500 A.D., the world was experiencing some drastic climate changes. There was a super El Nino weather phenomenon on the west coast. Cataclysmic...

Mister Muzzle and Nuzzle Raging Moderate, by Will Durst The Republican strategy for 2012 seems simple enough. It’s a numbers game. They plan to flood the market. Set up an all-you can-eat candidate buffet. If you don’t like the potential nominee in front of you, try the next steam table. An appetizing aspirant is bound to bubble up. Or not. But at least you’re moving around and getting some exercise. The latest and greatest Great White GOP Hope to throw his hat into the ring is...

Hair Raising by Peter Funt If you happened to see a column I wrote in The Wall Street Journal Aug. 22, you might have been mildly amused by my treatise: the winner in presidential elections is often the guy with the best haircut. However, if you saw me doing this same hair piece on the Fox News Channel, you probably figured I was some kind of crazed political scientist. Then again, if your source was MSNBC or the blogosphere, I’m afraid you must have taken me to be a right-wing loon who seriously...
