(David Kopel) Ronald Reagan once said that the conservative D.C. weekly Human Events was his favorite newspaper. And with good reason. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, there were few significant alternatives to the then-hegemonic MSM. Along with National Review , which was Reagan’s favorite magazine, Human Events was an essential source for stories that the MSM refused to cover, and for perspectives that the MSM shut out or marginalized. Unfortunately, a recent article in Human Events falls very far below the solid journalism standards which helped Human Events earn the respect of Reagan and so many others. “ Obama The Muslim ,” by Major Gen. …
Yesterday, in the Washington Post , Ezra Klein argued for Democrat Senators to use their power to abolish the filibuster. Ironically, Ezra Klein in 2005 argued that the same tactic when used by Republicans was a “power grab” and an abuse of power. Place Klein’s Washington Post column of 2010 next to the Klein column of 2005 and one might conclude that Klein is a partisan hack. The left wants to abolish a Senate rule that protects the right of individual Senators to force extended debate — the filibuster. Lefties like Klein are still mad that they could not force feed a public option to an unwilling American …
Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum, mulling a presidential run , says Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, a potential 2012 primary foe, is indulging in “class-warfare” rhetoric. On Monday, Pawlenty met with reporters at the Christian Science Monitor in Washington, where he cast himself as a Republican who could shake the impression that the GOP is a party of “country-club elitists.” Pawlenty also said that it helps to have a “messenger who has at least walked in [voters’]…
Last Friday morning the good folks at The Cruise Authority sent the weekly cabin-bookings report for the National Review 2010 Post-Election Caribbean Cruise and mama mia!— 26 cabins were added in the previous seven days.

Which in turn means our allotment of about 400 cabins will be exhausted before you can say “President Obama Interrupted His Golf Game to Go on Vacation.” Well, why don’t you get the lead out and book your vacation (November 14 – 21 aboard Holland America Line’s brand new Nieuw Amsterdam ) at www.nrcruise.com . While there is still a cabin left. By the way, we are…
Ken Buck, a Weld County prosecutor, is challenging former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton for the GOP Senate nod in Colorado. The RealClearPolitics poll average shows Buck up by seven points with just two weeks to go. But this race is far from over. In recent days, Buck has stumbled: A joke he made about Norton’s “high heels” went viral and he was caught on tape calling those who question the legitimacy of President Obama’s birth …
