This is one of those stories that a lot of people cover so I ignore this just to avoid jumping on the pig pile.

I admit that I never saw the big deal. For Pete's sake people, it's just an expression, and frankly one that is used a lot...

When do the tree huggers in California hate Redwood trees?

When they block their holy Solar Panels.

On a personal note, I went to high school near this neighborhood. I need to check my yearbook and see if I went to high school with any ...

THE WISDOM OF STAR TREKWe have been far to serious lately. Tonight we are going to have some fun. A great philosopher once said “Everything I need to know if life I learned from Star Trek.” While I do dislike casting John McCain in the ...

Hat tip to Hot Air for catching this telling video, that just simply captures the mindset, ideology, and intellectual wasteland that is the left.

There are those who believe that Chelsea Clinton is somehow off limits because she is not running for office. I do not happen to be one of them. I believe that if you put your self in front of a crowd and you talk about your feelings or ideas then yo...

OTB is getting a bit boring.... got anything of substance to spend pixels on?

Sunnyvale couple first in state to be convicted under Solar Shade Control Act. They must cut down their redwood trees so the shade will not blog a neighbor's solar panels. File this one under looney left vs looney left. Richard...

it seems to draw support from a kind of implicit Law of Conservation of Virtues -- the pretty girl can't be smart, the not-so-good-looking guy must be really nice -- that has people notice that Clinton is well-versed in policy but isn't a charismatic figure, and Obama is charismatic so it "must" be that he's not well-versed in policy. He's cool and she's the nerd.

This suits the media's taste for parallels and lazy narratives into which events can be squeezed. But there's really not much basis for it.

Despite a lack of a presidential résumé and a vision for leadership that’s remarkably short on specifics, he’s managed to convince a wide swath of people that he’s going to cure all the ills of our political system.

That’s especially ironic given that much of his support is among the well educated and affluent, who are supposed to be more rational.

As other commentators said, this is one of the silliest things I have ever heard. Obama's detailed policy positions are easily obtainable on his website and have been the subject of scores of speeches he has made over the past year on issues as far ranging as Iraq, climate change, and health care.

Compare Obama's website, for instance, with McCain's. On the issue of health care, McCain has nothing but a couple dozen platitudinous bullet points--Obama, on the other hand, has a 15 page detailed plan.

I suspect that James' main exposure to Obama has been his victory speeches after Iowa and Super Tuesday where he certainly is not going to go into a long dissertation on the specifics of policy--no candidate does that in those situations.
