This is a sickening news story : “Spanish Court Seeks Arrest of U.S. Soldiers in Hotel Attack.” The National Court of Spain has issued an “international arrest warrant” for American soldiers who were involved in the Palestine Hotel incident in Baghdad in 2003: On the morning of July 29, Spain’s National Court announced that it has re-issued an international arrest warrant against three U.S. soldiers it implicates in an attack on Baghdad’s Hotel Palestine, where Rodriguez and Couso, along with dozens of other journalists, were based during the Iraq war. …

-By Warner Todd Huston New Media mogul Andrew Breitbart faces a lawsuit from former USDA employee Shirley Sherrod over his posting of video of the woman in a seemingly racist outburst at an NAACP meeting. Sherrod made the announcement at the San Diego convention of the National Association of Black Journalists on Thursday, July 29. Sherrod also once again pushed the lie that Fox News was a culprit in her firing. “It wasn’t all media. It was Fox,” the fired federal employee said to the Old Media. The FACT is, Fox had precisely nothing to do with her firing as Fox News didn’t start broadcasting the story until after she was fired

There’s a small item on the Daily Caller about Bloomberg reporter Ryan Donmoyer asking fellow JournoListers whether it was okay to call the “teabaggers” fascists since they seemed to be aping the “brownshirts.” Historian Michael Kazin shot down the idea. But Rick Perlstein responded: I’m always extremely reluctant to deploy the “F” word. But this essay is a good one on which to hang a discussion, …
Um, remind me never to get on Tunku Varadarajan’s bad side. Warning: If you’ve got blood pressure issues, you might want to take your meds before reading Varadarajan’s piece, in which he quotes Assange – a fanatical anti-war activist from Australia – several times. What Assange’s done , in effect, is put in serious danger the lives of not just American troops but also hundreds of Afghan informants who risked their lives to help coaliton forces in Afghanistan catch terrorists – all in the name of “transparency&#…
During his otherwise ordinary remarks yesterday at the National Press Club, education secretary Arne Duncan said something quite extraordinary. It came as he was announcing the 19 finalists for the second round of the Obama administration’s Race to the Top grant competition: We arrived in Washington at a time when America was deeply divided over the proper federal role in educational policy.… We are a very long way from the classroom in Washington, and if we have learned one thing from [No Child Left Behind], it’s that one-size-fits-all remedies generally…

Massachusetts is one gubernatorial signature away from thumbing its nose at the Electoral College — to say nothing of Article V of the Constitution. Its state Senate has joined the House in giving final approval to the ill-advised National Popular Vote plan. The measure is now headed to Gov. Deval Patrick’s desk. The governor’s spokeswoman today noted Patrick’s support for the…
On reliable authority (from those much smarter than I) I’m told that this notion of abandoning the traditions of the Electoral College is well within the rights of the “some several States” as afforded them in the 12th Amendment to the US Constitution and that sending Electors from each of these “some several States” with specific instructions…
