Who's on Trial -- KSM or GWB? -- By: Shannen Coffin

Andy and I had a brief e-mail exchange about the topic this weekend, but I would have a hard time saying it better than his column this morning on Obama's decision to put KSM on trial in civilian court. While I've been in Washington long enough to know ...

A Point Lost in the Shuffle -- By: Shannen Coffin

In all the analysis of whether or not last night was a referendum on President Obama, one critical point may not be getting through regarding the New Jersey race. Setting aside whether Obama was a drag or a boon to the Democratic incumbent there, John ...

What's Not to Love? -- By: Shannen Coffin

There are many reasons to love International Man of Mystery Mark Steyn. He's the keeper of the demographic doomsday clock. He exposes the idiocy of Canadian bureaucrats. He sings a mean "Marshmallow World." But his crowning achievement may be pitching ...

Remembering -- By: Shannen Coffin

I'm in an extended trial in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. In the lobby of my hotel this morning, I met a New York City fireman in full dress uniform. Not sure what he was doing here, but I was happy to have the vivid reminder of what today means. Like Kathryn, ...

Lawyer Hits Jackpot with Minivan Trade -- By: Shannen Coffin

The news that the billion-dollar jackpot giveaway that was "Cash for Clunkers" is being shut down could not be more welcome. I listened in horror this week as an extraordinarily well-compensated — and I do mean extraordinarily — D.C. lawyer told me of ...

Touching the NRO Third Rail

Jonah, I too liked Up. Perhaps not as much as I liked Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., Cars (at least the first three hundred times I saw it), but I certainly could watch it again. The first fifteen minutes of the movie was brilliant, beautiful, and quite ...

On 24 -- Semi-spoiler Alert

There's a lot to love about last night's two hour episode of 24. To say that the season strains credulity is an understatement. I had wondered from the previews last week how exactly a small military force might storm the White House. No problem. ...

re: Groundhog Day

The thing is, Mr. Goldberg, I love .  Bill Murray is a comic genius (I met him once at a ChiSox game and he was as funny in person).  I am just baffled that you somehow have milked the thing for four years.  I mean, you should be paying royalties to ...

Gregg & Principle
