Politinerds: Bill Karins 5/29/2015 9:21:59 AM Jazz Shaw 15 Comments Our guest this week on Politinerds is probably already familiar to you if your normal news consumption includes either NBC, CNBC, MSNBC or The Weather Channel.

Quotes of the day 5/28/2015 10:41:07 PM Allahpundit 258 Comments Carly Fiorina on Wednesday hurled insults at Hillary Clinton, just out of the Democratic front-runner's earshot.

Metro suspends all issue-oriented ads for the year so that they won't have to run Pam Geller's Mohammed cartoon 5/28/2015 4:41:52 PM Allahpundit 189 Comments A perfect example of how carving out a “small” exception to free-speech norms for cartoons of Mohammed ends up consuming free speech more broadly.

Say this for Jeb: When he promised not to pander to conservatives in the name of More... The World Health Organization's dishonest "World No Tobacco Day" 5/28/2015 1:21:37 PM Jazz Shaw 30 Comments The World Health Organization is at it again, this time pushing the helpful and benign concept of World No Tobacco Day this coming Sunday.

New progressive mantra: Greed is good 5/28/2015 12:41:40 PM Ed Morrissey 47 Comments I’m old enough to remember when this was considered an indictment of a generation — the Ronald Reagan generation, to be specific: In 2012, we got plenty of lectures about how the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, was too wealthy to relate to More... Video: Carly Fiorina on how she would fight ISIS 5/28/2015 12:01:38 PM Jazz Shaw 138 Comments As the various candidates made the media rounds this week, there was one interview which jumped out at me.
