  • An Attempt to Eliminate the Electoral Effect

    By Selwyn Duke New Jersey Governor John Corzine has just signed a bill that would deliver his state’s electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote in presidential elections, even if the majority of the Garden State’s voters choose another candidate.  This makes NJ the second state to adopt such a measure; Maryland…

  • Obama Calls Bill Clinton Pinocchio . . . in so Many Words

    By Selwyn Duke Thus far, the Euphemism of Campaign 2008  title may just belong to Barack Obama.  Commenting on Bill Clinton’s attacks on his candidacy, he said,

  • Hoisted With Their Politically-correct Petards

    By Selwyn Duke What goes around certainly does come around.  The first black president’s wife isn’t black enough to be immune from charges of bigotry. Isn’t it delicious? I am, of course, speaking of the recent Democrat race war.

  • Trying to Kill the Immigration Card

    By Selwyn Duke With the victories of Mike Huckabee and John McCain in the first two primary contests and Mitt Romney’s failures prior to Michigan, a fiction is being bandied about: The anti-amnesty position isn’t playing well in Peoria.

  • A Great Exposé of Hillary Clinton

    By Selwyn Duke There are many things I dislike about snooty former Britisher Christopher Hitchens; in fact, I’ve been thinking about making him the centerpiece of a none-too-flattering article.  Having said that, there’s no denying that when he’s right on an issue, he can treat it with flair and wit that are almost unparalleled.  Such…

  • The Emotion Notion

    By Selwyn Duke Although I’m not fond of psycho-babble terminology, if we can speak of emotional IQ, I can say it’s not very high in general.  We live in the age of Oprah — who has an encounter group masquerading as a TV talk show — the age of "I feel your pain."  Thus, it’s…

  • Obama’s Racist Associations

    By Selwyn Duke At American Thinker, writer Lee Cary treats Barack Hussein Obama’s racial hypocrisy.  After pointing out that Obama has been preaching a philosophy of inclusiveness, saying there is no black America or white America (the "uniter, not a divider" schtick), Cary exposes the hollowness of the senator’s words.  Writes Cary: 

  • The Plastic Lady

    By Selwyn Duke The pundits were writing Plastic Lady’s epitaph,Pointing to lines going down on a graph.She had a bad finish out west a little ways;To socialist utopians, it was the end of days.

  • Hillary’s Collapse and the Swing Voter

    By Selwyn Duke After Barack Hussein Obama’s win in Iowa, many in the media were speaking of Hillary Clinton’s imminent demise.  It might have seemed that in an effort to manufacture a story, her epitaph had been written prematurely.  Yes, Obama was poised to duplicate his resounding Iowa victory in New Hampshire, but Lady Macbeth…

  • A Uniter, Not a Divider; Whatever

    By Selwyn Duke In the netherworld of vacuous political discourse, near the nadir of utter nonsense, even below blather about "experience," are platitudes about being a "uniter, not a divider."  Quite fittingly, the one who specializes in empty political rhetoric grandiosely delivered, Barack Obama, mentioned something to this effect in his Iowa victory speech.
