My Commentator piece about the notable developments last night in Parliament, noting three reasons why all is not (yet) lost: First and foremost, we risked ending up helping President Obama wriggle off an embarrassing immediate hook (the Syria regime boldly stepping across his own half-hearted ‘red line’) but without really […]
Non-US readers may have missed the resignation speech by the energetically groping Mayor of San Diego, Bob Filner (Democrat). It’s not often that a speech by someone leaving office in high disgrace features ‘seal poop’. But this one does! Here is the full text: What I would like to leave […]
