Economic mobility and government activism
(Paul Mirengoff) Michael Gerson wrote today about "the rhetoric of mobility" — in other words, the way liberals and conservatives talk about the issue of economic mobility. He finds the rhetoric of both sides, as the well views behind it, wanting. Gerson's piece is thoughtful, as usual. But it should be of concern to conservatives who worry that "reform conservatism," a movement with which Gerson is associated, may to some extent represent

Why the Instagrammers whose photos Richard Prince sold for $90,000 should stop complaining
Richard Prince is an artist with a long history of "reappropriation." In 1989, he re-photographed an existing photo of a cowboy from a cigarette ad and sold it for $1 million. He did the same with a highly sexualized photo of Brooke Shields taken when she was 10 years old. And now he's attracted the ire of the Internet's outrage machine after blowing up a number of other […]

The Economy Disappoints Again. What Could Be the Problem?
(John Hinderaker) As you probably have already seen, the Commerce Department announced today that GDP contracted by an annual rate of 0.7% in the first quarter of 2015, a downward revision from the previously estimated 0.2% growth.

Sanders the Socialist Crooner
(Steven Hayward) I decided to take a pass on the story that Bernie Sanders misfired with some kind of rape fantasy essay way back in his college years (though since it was fair game to jump on Mitt Romney for giving some kid an atomic wedgie 50 years ago in prep school was fair game, then Sanders deserves the full proctology treatment), but his attempt at a folk song ambum is truly

The dawn of the Age of the Silicon Valley Tuxedo – A company is Kickstarting "classy" sweatpants
Over the past week, I've probably changed my opinion a dozen times over how I feel about a new Kickstarter campaign from a Chicago-based "fashion" startup called Public Rec.

(Scott Johnson) Ammo Grrrll stands and delivers Psychotic Ninnies, Circa 1975. She writes: Last Friday I referred to the Psychotic Ninny Wing of the feminist movement.

Megyn Kelly takes down Rand Paul on the Patriot Act
(Paul Mirengoff) John has flagged Rand Paul's ISIS whopper — the claim that Republicans are to blame for the rise of ISIS. When Republicans controlled the White House, ISIS was, as John says, little more than a dream in the minds of a few fanatics. The dream was realized not because of Republicans, but mostly because President Obama reversed President Bush's policies and prematurely withdrew American forces from Iraq. But Rand Paul's
