My high-powered lawyers are on stand-by in case things go beyond the denial strategy, but here goes, a Pomocon exclusive: Lena Dunham: Well, the thing I mentioned yesterday is actually much further along than that. Sally’s [ Ms. Dunham’s agent ] been emailing me about her negotiations . . . . Continue Reading »

And, his advertisements are even more insulting. C.J. Box at Ricochet discovers an Obama ad by Lena Dunham of GIRLS fame , which equates a young woman’s first time voting for a presidential candidate with her first time having, well, you know what. Don’t you want your first time to be . . . . Continue Reading »

Ignatius Press has been for some time promoting this new film based on the life of St. Augustine. I saw it the other night at one of the public showings that Christian groups are encouraged to sponsor, and while the rest of the largely church-going and Catholic-student-group audience seemed . . . .

But not decisively—Romney always held his own. And I would only say Obama won on the parts of the debates focused on foreign policy. On domestic issues, Romney won.

The story here is a few days old, but alas, as we’ve come to expect, it’s been under-reported: Romney admits the “47%” remark was a mistake .  Was wrong. “Now and then, you’re going to say something that doesn’t come out right,” Romney said, . . . . Continue Reading »
