The NY Daily News began its week with a nasty opinion column by Jazz critic and progressive bigot Stanley Crouch. In only 605 words he manages to bash every conservative as some sort of liar and or nut job. more

Now over a week after the election, the Grand Old Party has to quickly regroup and move ahead. But before they do, the party needs to change to have a future as anything other than a minority party. It’s not a matter of changing their core principles as some have suggested (in the end a shift of 407K votes in the battleground states would have changed the winner of the electoral college), but drastic changes need to be made in the way those principles are presented to voters to change the result of future elections. more

Any sports fan will tell you that if you leave the game talking about the umpire or referee, that official did an awful job. The same thing goes when talking about political debates. more

When it was all over, I was stunned. If it were a t-ball game instead of a Presidential Debate, Jim Lehrer would have stopped it early, invoking the slaughter rule. more

This has been a particularly awful week for President Obama and his foreign policy, especially in the Middle East. Early in the week there was the public split with Israel’s Netanyahu about drawing a “red line” that Iran’s nuke program must not pass, highlighted by a spat between the Israeli Prime Minister and the U.S. Ambassador, and the President’s choice of a campaign appearance on Lettermen over an emergency meeting with Netanyahu. more
