No, Hillary Clinton Is Not Going To Send You Off To “Camp”
I have been critical of Hillary Clinton for her secrecy and poor history on government transparency, her neoconservative foreign policy views, her conservative views on social issues, her mismanagement of health care reform, and her overall poor judgement. I am not going to defend her just because she has a D after her name, or because she is a female candidate. There are … [Read more...] about No, Hillary Clinton Is Not Going To Send You Off To “Camp”

Friedman on Netanyahu’s Victory
Thomas Friedman on the real winners in Israel's recent election in The New York Times (hint: not the Israelis). No one on the planet will enjoy watching Israel and America caught on the horns of this dilemma more than the clerical regime in Tehran. It is a godsend for them. Iran’s unstated position is that the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem must … [Read more...] about Friedman on Netanyahu’s Victory
Netflix Pick – Only God Forgives (Movie Review)
NOTE: This review was written in 2013 at the time of the film's release. In light of a recent documentary, 'My Life Directed By Nicolas Winding Refn', about the production of the film, I found it relevant to shine new light on its derided and largely forgotten subject matter. In retrospect, I would have written this review slightly differently – certain revisions made, … [Read more...] about Netflix Pick – Only God Forgives (Movie Review)

Great News For Late Night Comedians: Donald Trump Appears To Actually Be Running This Time

Cotton candy
Honest. If you'd told me a while back there'd be a "Senator Cotton," I'd have laughed and pointed out that we've been dealing with those cotton-brained senators ever since Reconstruction. So the idea of a cotton Senator (or a "Senator Cotton") is kind of an old story. But now there's Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas. He's for real; he's (bottom line) anti-government; and … [Read more...] about Cotton candy
One Tweet Away From Political Ruin
WASHINGTON -- For Liz Mair, it only took a few months-old tweets to get her bounced from a presidential campaign. She insulted Iowa -- the first-in-the-nation primary state that enjoys an outsized influence on politics -- and that was enough to bring an end to her one-day term as an adviser to Gov. Scott Walker. Mair… … [Read more...] about One Tweet Away From Political Ruin

The high cost of Bibi’s comeback
WASHINGTON -- Wednesday was a hard day for pro-Israel liberals. Some of the dejection arose from sheer surprise over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's victory, and especially the size of his margin. The pre-election polling -- by law, polls can't be published within five days of voting -- showed Netanyahu's Likud Party trailing Isaac Herzog's Zionist Union, the main … [Read more...] about The high cost of Bibi’s comeback
