June 28th, 2015 8:16 AM
Last year, The Washington Post gave a gay activist named Steven Petrow a regular column called “Civilities.” This quickly became a farce, since Petrow was a fan of outing...and Dan Savage.

Daily Beast Pundit: Scalia ‘Farted’ His Dissent in Obamacare Case
June 27th, 2015 12:38 AM
Conservatives are accustomed to admiring the work and deploring the politics of artists like Bruce Springsteen and Stephen King. Michael Tomasky wrote Thursday that some liberals have had roughly similar feelings about Antonin Scalia, but that’s over now because of Scalia’s dissent in King v. Burwell, which was devoid of the justice’s usual “writerly flair and intellectual acumen.”
“It long ago…

Despite getting a favorable ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court on the ObamaCare case King v.

December 6th, 2014 7:05 PM
Conservative Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia has enough brio in his opinions that it’s inspiring theatrical satire. On the front of Wednesday’s Wall Street Journal was a story headlined “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Scalia? Set His Dissents to Music.”

Lies My Textbooks Told Me: Judging Current Supreme Court Justices
May 8th, 2012 11:07 AM
Perhaps it’s unrealistic to expect history textbooks to present and analyze events and epochs with complete objectivity. But it’s entirely reasonable to demand that they don’t actively reinforce the news media’s liberal bias when it comes to recent history and individuals who are still alive and active in shaping that history.
Yet commonly used American history textbooks have eschewed…

April 26th, 2012 5:05 PM
Reporter-turned-liberal columnist Dana Milbank is incensed that Antonin Scalia is, well, being himself.

Time Magazine on George Washington: Tea Party, Modern Conservatism 'A
February 6th, 2012 11:57 AM
George Washington just got a promotion. Yes, he's still one of the slave-owning oligarchs who, according to liberals, stuck us with a short-sighted Constitution, and whose colleagues were probably having sex with slaves.
But with the 2012 election on the line and conservatives citing the Founders' legacy as a touch-stone of limited government, Time Magazine has found it useful to turn the…
