Carson: Prison sex shows being gay is a choice
3/4/2015 8:31:35 AM  Ed Morrissey
165 Comments
Does prison sex prove that sexual orientation is a choice? Given that much of what constitutes “sex” in prison occurs under some sort of duress, using it as an example of “choice” seems like … a stretch, to say the least.

No foolin’. Jon Karl asks a simple question: Aren’t public servants supposed to use their official e-mail accounts so that complete records can be kept when they transact state business? HillaryWorld used to think so. Likely Clinton campaign

Saw some minor grumbling in Headlines this a.m. that Carson’s still going ahead with his doomed presidential candidacy instead of seizing the opportunity to replace Barbara Mikulski in the Senate. On paper he’s a perfect candidate. He has

Obama to Netanyahu: What's your plan for Iran, then?
3/3/2015 3:21:26 PM  Allahpundit
106 Comments
Not sure why he’s mumbling about “viable alternatives” when the refrain from his own team over the past 24 hours, starting with Susan Rice, is that a bad deal with Iran is worse than no deal, which is precisely Netanyahu’s point.

DHS is funded through the end of the week, so Boehner didn’t have to make his move today. But with most of the media focused on Bibi Netanyahu’s speech, he probably decided to use the distraction to try to bury the news of his capitulation.
