A Harsh Lesson at Columbia
As Obama brings his rock-the-youth-vote campaign to the Morningside Heights neighborhood of New York City, he wants to be photographed in a sea of adoring youthful faces. And yet, through incompetence or cynical calculus, he's throwing some of the most inspiring, hard-working students in America under the bus.

Handicapping 2012: It's Romney's To Lose
Most pundits have conceded the general election to Obama, already looking ahead to 2016. They have their reasons. Their analysis is based on good, solid, reasonable (inside the box) logic. All things considered, however, I would (and have) put my money on Mitt Romney this fall.

Some talk radio hosts and conservative pundits constantly criticize Americans who aren't politically engaged. Not me. In fact, I often feel like joining them.
