Is it?
Al Jolson, Elvis Pressley, Bill Clinton, just to name a few. I’m sure I meant something by that list. But just what I cannot tell you because I am not really sure. The list is not random, however. It took me a while to get to this Newsweek article by David Gates but I am…

Night and Day
I saw the contrasting pictures on the night of the so-called ‘Potomac Primaries’ and did not think anything of it until I read Frank Rich yesterday. We don’t yet know who the Democratic Party nominee for president will be but, whoever it is, it is going to be a nice contrast with the presumptive Republican…

Trial Love Notes
Mr. Daniel Henninger, who writes the Wonder Land column on the op-ed page of the Wall Street Journal, has been listening to Illinois Senator Barack Obama and, surprise, surprise, he found Mr. Obama “insanely” eloquent but the message a downer. The America that Mr. Henninger knows is not nearly as bad off as the good…

In it he recalled an interview that Mr. McCain gave Stephen Moore of the Wall Street Journal a couple of years ago. Mr. McCain told WSJ that…

Senator Turncoat
Some people are trying to stop Arizona Senator John McCain from continuing on a path that says there’s no principle he won’t turn his back on if it’ll help him reach the presidency. When the torture bill was going through Congress Mr. McCain spoke movingly about his experiences as a prisoner of war who endured…

Meat to the . . .
He’s always had the substance but got tarred with not providing details. The good news, according to The New York Times, is that he’s going into more details on the stump. The oratory may be less soaring, but . . . “Don’t be fooled by this talk about speeches versus solutions,” Mr. Obama told a…

This Election Season . . .
We must not let Sen. John McCain, (R-AZ), pretend that a vote for him in November is not a vote for a third term for George W. Bush. We must not let him pretend that he is not Bush’s heir. He begged for this, groveled, and bargained away his integrity to have it. Everyone must…
