Not so fast. 1/21/2015 6:41:41 PM Jazz Shaw 41 Comments MK Hammer left no doubt as to where she stands on the question last night, offering to vote for anyone who promises to go back to just having the President send Congress a letter in lieu of a formal State of the Union address.

Pats/Seahawks looks to be a far better game than Colts/Seahawks would be.

Venezuela's glorious socialist project going about as well as you'd expect 1/21/2015 4:01:34 PM Ed Morrissey 49 Comments Just how bad has Venezuela’s economic crisis become?

Is the first big veto override fight coming over new sanctions on Iran? 1/21/2015 3:21:51 PM Noah Rothman 29 Comments During the president's State of the Union address on Tuesday, Obama contradicted himself mightily.

Video: The obligatory "Obama reminds the GOP he won" clip 1/21/2015 11:21:43 AM Allahpundit 192 Comments Noah’s right that this backhand from the SOTU will fade long before O’s lies about the state of counterterrorism do, but as the trolliest line from an exceptionally trollish speech by a master of the form, it deserves its own thread. I More...
