WRITING A WEEK after the 2008 presidential election, New York Times columnist David Brooks tried to handicap the "fight over the future of conservatism." It would be a battle between "traditionalists," who want to "Cut government, cut taxes, restrict immigration," and "reformers," who agree with an Publication: The American Conservative

If you haven't seen Megyn Kelly's exclusive interviews with J Christian Adams, the DOJ attorney who resigned in protest at the DOJ's dismissal of the voter intimidation charges against the New Black Panthers. Adams blew the whistle on the DOJ's dereliction in an article at Pajamas Media. You can watch part one of Megyn's interview here:

It's becoming clear why President Obama first tapped Elena Kagan for his Solicitor General, and then Supreme Court nominee: their ideologies and ethics are remarkably congruent. And that alone should be enough to scuttle her nomination.

Back in the 1990's, Kagan was working for the Clinton administration. At that time, there was a bit of a fight over partial birth abortion. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists offered their professional opinion on the matter, and their paper stated definitively:

The Bush Administration’s chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine General Peter Pace,  warned members of the Senate Armed Services Committee that members of radical Islamic groups were active in South America recruiting and training terrorists. Yet, the Democrat-controlled Senate ignored Gen. Pace’s warning. Three suspected al-Qaeda associates who were apprehended in West Africa by U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents during [...]

When Eric Holder testified before the House Judiciary Committee last month, Rep. Lamar Smith asked Eric Holder whether "radical Islam" might have had something to do with the three notable terrorist attempts in the United States within the past year. Holder came off as a clown. Radical Islam? Don't say it, man!

How does one pick sides in a dispute between French coach Raymond Domenech and French forward Nicolas Anelka -- both colossal jerks?

If Italy fails to qualify for the next round of play, who will miss them, and why?

Has any defender in the tournament so far had a better game than Ryan Nelson (ex-Stanford, ex-DC United) had against Italy on Sunday?

Wouldn't it be cool if other players followed Nelson's example and chatted with the kids who walk onto the field with them?
