Race-Card Payment Coming Due
by Jonah Goldberg
“The race card is maxed out.”
That was the punch line for a recent hilarious exchange on “The Daily Show” in which Larry Wilmore, the faux news program’s “senior black correspondent,” reported that the race card is not only over its credit limit but is in fact “void during [...]

Obama’s Crisis is GOP’s Opportunity
by Jonah Goldberg
It wasn’t supposed to be like this.
The Obama administration came into power with the political winds at its back, the media at its feet and Americans open to major change. The White House even had a slogan: A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.
The logic [...]

What the GOP Can Learn From a Pizza Chain
by Jonah Goldberg
This is one of those rare moments when the conventional wisdom in Washington is right. The Democrats are poised to have a bad year; the only argument is over how bad it will be. And that question rests on whether or not the [...]

Endless Love
by Jonah Goldberg
Huzzah! Thanks to a few pointed questions from the press corps at a White House news conference, the long Obama captivity of the media is at an end. The Hotline, an inside-the-Beltway tip sheet, proclaimed June 23 “The Day the Love Ended.”

Empathy v. Impartiality
by Jonah Goldberg
Why make this complicated?
President Obama prefers Supreme Court justices who will violate their oath of office. And he hopes Sonia Sotomayor is the right Hispanic woman for the job. Here’s the oath Supreme Court justices must take:

Obama’s Word Play
by Jonah Goldberg
President Obama had a grand time in Europe. He wowed the press, met the queen, gave some wonderful news conferences and got virtually none of the major policy concessions he wanted. But he did do a lot of talking, for what that’s worth.

Obama’s Bailout for the Despots
by Jonah Goldberg
It’s President Obama’s worst bailout so far. He’s going to rescue the U.N. Human Rights Council.

The Waiting Game
by Jonah Goldberg
“We are the ones we’ve been waiting for,” Barack Obama proclaimed many times during the campaign. He and his throngs of supporters preened in the glow of their own righteousness like cats in a puddle of sunlight. They were for “shared sacrifice” and a “new era [...]

The Tired War on Rush Limbaugh
by Jonah Goldberg
Here we go again. Rush Limbaugh is public enemy No. 1.
Liberal bloggers and media chin-strokers are aghast at Limbaugh’s statement that he hopes Barack Obama fails.
