Is it a good or bad sign when a political ad "provokes cries of outrage from the opposition"?
Mitt Romney rolled out Rudy Giulani in a bid to inoculate himself from Democratic suggestions that he is too weak to have whacked Osama bin Laden. The terror-fighting duo brought pizza to a New York firehouse. It was not the stuff of legends.
The black man is shot dead. The killer goes home. And an obscene campaign begins to smear the dead man as yet another thug who had it coming. This happened 12 years ago this month.
I am not criticizing Romney-the-potential-president. I am criticizing Romney-the-candidate, especially his failure to capitalize on the near-perfect conditions for his run for the White House.
Metal detectors at school entrances make many New York City schools feel more like prisons than places where young people want to be and contribute to the sense that these are not a place where people are respected.
Anything that makes Donald Trump money is a bad idea in my book. Mark this down as a bad week. The city has granted Trump the right to run a golf course in the Bronx that New York City taxpayers are spending at least $184 million to build.
With Mitt Romney seemingly on the verge of sewing up the Republican nomination, talk of possible GOP running mates is already underway. But many observers outside of conservative circles are mis-characterizing Romney's VP options.
The reactive approach taken by D.C.'s justice system lets petty criminals off the hook and leaves open the possibility of committing major felonies in the future. Criminals should know that even the most minor offenses won't be tolerated.
Christians must never attempt to enact their religion through politics, because this move bows to the assumption that the ultimate power in our culture is the power of the state.
I was appalled by the president's rejection of the scientific and medical advice he and Secretary Sebelius received, recommending exactly the opposite.
As the GOP presidential candidates square off tonight for their final debate before the January 2012 primaries and caucuses, former GOP front-runner Mitt Romney is taking some of his sharpest blasts yet. And from a surprising source.
It's that time again, when we start to ponder that age-old question: who will be Time magazine's Person of the Year?
The GOP presidential flop bemoans Occupy Wall Street as "class warfare." Didn't this guy used to be the federal prosecutor who had a weeping Wall Street trader dragged across the trading floor in handcuffs?
In the "Frontrunners" category, we had four names two months ago: Bachmann, Palin, Perry, and Romney. Two of these are gone, and one has risen to take their place, leaving us with three frontrunners (at least, for now).
Maybe there's still time to get a New Yorker into the GOP race. How could a state with so many politicians, political junkies and political hangers-on fail to field even an 11th hour vanity candidate?
This political love-fest between Governor Chris Christie and these people begging him to run for president is going to end abruptly when the big guy realizes something that others have realized before him.
