The only surprise in this story is that Bill didn’t find a way to rope in a Swedish women’s Olympic team of some sort. But even if the conduct herein isn’t all that surprising, given it’s the Clintons we’re talking about,

Police: Original target of Boston terror cell was Pamela Geller
6/3/2015 7:36:00 PM  Ed Morrissey
41 Comments
CNN’s update this evening is worth noting even without any other major updates to the case of Usaama Rahim.  Pushing First Amendment issues in this context is not a risk-free enterprise, which isn’t the fault of the speech. Rahim originally

Consider this Chris Hansen … on steroids. A task force composed of Florida law enforcement agencies netted 101 arrests in a child-prostitution sting, including would-be pimps and johns. Also included in the arrests, uncomfortably so for the resort

Cameron Crowe: Sorry that my make-believe required you to make believe Emma Stone was a quarter Asian
6/3/2015 4:41:36 PM  Allahpundit
56 Comments
To cleanse the palate, I like what commenter Flange said: “You're doing something wrong if you're apologizing for putting Emma Stone in a movie.” This so-called apology isn’t him saying “sorry that I offended you” so much as

Is Jeb Bush violating campaign finance laws?
6/3/2015 4:01:34 PM  Jazz Shaw
24 Comments
There is little doubt that there are more than a few people at the offices of the New York Times who would like to see Jeb Bush knocked out of the 2016 race. With that in mind, I took it with a grain of salt when I noticed an article of theirs implying

Anyone who understands risks pools and pricing opacity could have seen this coming all along … and many of us did. Those who insisted that forcing everyone into insurance would lower costs, or at least those who believed that promise, are in for a

38 Comments
There has been plenty of handwringing over the wide Republican field for the 2016 presidential nomination, but it’s not clear why that’s such a problem. No clear front-runner has emerged, which means that GOP voters have plenty of opportunity

I can’t tell if he/she means that personally or culturally, i.e., “the new feminine-looking me is normal to me” or “the new feminine-looking me should be normal to you.” Big difference. At one point Jenner says,

No kidding, but Haider al-Abadi may be kidding himself if he thinks Western nations will do much more than airstrikes and tongue clucks against ISIS. The Iraqi Prime Minister went to Paris to complain that his army was “going it alone,” and
