Good morning from the Four Seasons, Budapest—our view from our balcony of the Buda Castle (right). The Gresham Palace is a beautiful Art Deco hotel. Just had what may be about the best cup of coffee ever. More than a touch of cream might have something to do with it. We are on the Pest […]
Hillary’s Lucifer-Guccifer Moment
How ironic that the person responsible for the world knowing that Hillary Clinton maintained a private email server while secretary of state has a name that rhymes with Lucifer. Marcel Lehel Lazar, an unemployed taxi driver from Romania, is the hacker who uses Guccifer as his nom de Internet, writes Kimberley Strassel in the WSJ. […]
The Horribleness of It Takes a Village
From Martin Amis on Hillary’s It Takes a Village: From Notable & Quotable, WSJ. Originally printed in Sunday Times (U.K.) 17 March 1996. It Takes a Village looks like a book and feels like a book but in important respects it isn’t a book. It is a reelection pamphlet or a stump speech; it is […]
Liberals in “Absolute Control” of Academia
Jason L. Riley, who spoke last winter at a Cato event Dick, Matt and I attended in Naples, Florida, recently was disinvited from delivering the BB&T Distinguished Lecture at Virginia Tech’s Pamplin College of Business. Mr. Riley, who is black, writes for the WSJ and is the author of Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals […]
The Science of Intimidation
In 2006, Al Gore announced that unless “drastic measures” were taken to reduce greenhouse gasses, the earth in 10 years would reach “a point of no return,” in which notably the Arctic Ocean would be largely free of sea ice. Guess what? The ice is still there, writes Richard W. Rahn in The Washington Times. […]
Eat Avocados, not Strawberries
Remember when you could buy strawberries only in spring and early summer? How lucky we now are to be able to buy strawberries and pretty much anything else—asparagus, peaches, nectarines, tomatoes—all through those dreary winter months. Right? Well, maybe not. Recently strawberries topped the list of fruits and veggies (pushing apples out of top slot) […]
Tired of Ideology
Donald Trump’s appeal is simple, writes Peggy Noonan in the WSJ. Trump supporters, after listening and watching him, believe that Trump is on America’s side. And that comes as a great relief to them, because they believe that for 16 years Presidents Bush and Obama were largely about ideologies. They seemed not so much on […]
Running Neck-and-Neck with Hillary?
From Rod Dreher in The American Conservative: Trump is way ahead in Indiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and California. Unless Kasich drops out, which he’s not going to do, Trump might run the table. Pennsylvania, Maryland, and three other states in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region — all Trump-friendly — vote tomorrow. Indiana’s the week after that. California’s not till the […]
A Global Approval Rating of 76%
On the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death, the Bard has a worldwide approval rating that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton can only envy, 76%. As the WSJ notes, the “Dead White Englishman remains a global figure of astonishing vitality.” Though Shakespeare was a man who lived in England at a particular time, so well […]
A Platform of Hope and Change?
After living through more than 87 straight months of a Democratic president elected on a platform of “Hope and Change,” how is it possible that so many under-50 liberals are rallying around Bernie Sanders as the agent of change? The WSJ’s Daniel Henninger then asks, “What, exactly, is Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or even Bernie […]
