- Supremacy? July 29, 2010Yesterday’s ruling in the Arizona immigration law matter by Federal District Judge Susan Bolton is reverberating around the internet today. Most of the heat is generated by the substantive policy question of illegal immigration, however, the deeper agitating factor is likely the legal doctrine of preemption which was the legal justification for the Judge’s […]Caleb Stegall
- - July 29, 2010Abba Poemen asked Abba Joseph another question saying, “What should I do when the passions attack me? Should I resist them, or let them enter?” The old man said to him, “Let them enter and fight against them.” So he returned to Scetis where he remained. Now someone from Thebes came to Scetis and said to the brethren, “I asked Abba Joseph if I ought to resist […]wfd
- The Boy Scouts at 100 July 29, 2010Boy Scouts celebrated their 100-year anniversary at their National Jamboree in Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia this week. President Obama decided not to attend, so he could instead tape his appearance on The View. That's too bad. For a century, Boy Scouts of America has been a top organization that cultivates young leaders by teaching them patriotism, morals, […]Nik Nelson

- The NYC Squeeze July 29, 2010This photo has been bouncing around various Tumblr sites for a few months now and no one has the photo credit. Each time it pops up, I think to myself how great of a photo it is. Mostly because it captures that NYC Squeeze you develop when riding in New York long enough. It's not always about how close you are to cars, just how your body conforms to the […]Prolly
- Re: The Arizona Injunction -- By: NRO Staff July 29, 2010The decision in U.S. v. Arizona finds several provisions of Arizona law preempted, mainly on the ground that they interfere with federal policy. It’s hard to be too critical of a judge who comes to that conclusion when the very agencies charged with making federal policy insist at the top of their lungs that state law is interfering with their policy. That s […]webmaster@nationalreview.com (NRO Staff)
- Time Mag Shocker: Rush Limbaugh Might Have Been Right About Oil Spill July 29, 2010Time magazine reported Thursday that Rush Limbaugh might have been right about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico not being the environmental disaster that everyone warned.In an article surprisingly titled, "The BP Spill: Has the Damage Been Exaggerated?", author Michael Grunwald first insulted the conservative talk radio host: The obnoxious anti- […]Noel Sheppard

- Why Do Employers Use FICO Scores? July 29, 2010A few days ago, I wrote about employers using FICO scores to screen potential employees. One thing that neither I nor Kevin Drum really answered is: why are employers using them? They're at best a weak proxy. Of course, corporations do stupid things all the time, because they're not infallible. Still, it's a question that bears asking.Ove […]Megan McArdle
- Michelle Obama Asks Me to Sign President Obama’s Birthday Card July 28, 2010(Jim Lindgren) I received the following email from First Lady Michelle Obama: SUBJECT: Will you sign Barack’s birthday card, James? James – Every year, our family tries to come up with a fun way to wish Barack a happy birthday. And this August 4th, when he turns 49, I have something new in mind. This has been a big — and hectic — year for him. After signing […]Jim Lindgren
- Blind Men and Elephants July 27, 2010The New Republic has a special section on Afghanistan in which “Nine Eminent Intellectuals, Analysts, and War Reporters—From Steve Coll to Leon Wieseltier—Debate the Way Forward”. The good news is the nine POVs are well written; the bad news is that there are nine of them, all in disagreement to some respect. The articles are behind a firewall, but the main […]Richard Fernandez
- My Apology to Shirley Sherrod — Withdrawn July 27, 2010Last week, I jumped the gun (as did many others) in taking what was a complex story and boiling it down to an video clip without its proper context. I apologized to my readers and to Shirley Sherrod. I hereby withdraw the apology to Mrs. Sherrod. As I noted at the time, this was a very complex story and I had a pretty good hunch that Mrs. Sherrod was not t […]GayPatriot
- Evangelicals v. ‘mainstream Christians’ July 27, 2010Remember last month when the big statue of Jesus was struck by lightning and burned to the ground? Well, one reporter is trying to squeeze as much juice out of the story as possible. Check out this Dayton Daily News headline that read like the sound of nails screeching against a chalkboard. Response to statue reveals schism between evangelical and mainstream […]Sarah Pulliam Bailey
