Solyndra was all about Politics, not Policy
Monday, December 26, 2011 | By Bob Beauprez
The Solyndra scandal continues to fester and haunt the Obama Administration, as even some of the most ardent supporters of the Administration have become harsh critics. The following statement is particularly profound considering that among the multitude of reliably liberal outlets in the mainstream media, few are more dependable champions of the liberal Democrats and their agenda than the Washington Post.

Tip-of-the-Hat: Catherine Anthony Adair
Tuesday, December 20, 2011 | By A Line of Sight
Rather than a mere Tip-of-the-Hat this month, we probably should be awarding a Medal of Honor to Catherine Anthony Adair. Since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision the debate over abortion has raged on in America. Well beyond 50 million abortions have been performed, and while there has been some decline in the annual totals over the last decade, about 1.2 million reported abortions still occur every year in the U.S.

Tuesday, December 20, 2011 | By Bob Beauprez
Eric Holder doesn’t have a good answer for his involvement in the Fast and Furious scandal, but he has come up with an explanation for why he is the target of so much criticism. It’s because he’s black, which he says is also why Barack Obama gets criticized, too.

Transition in North Korea, “Dear Leader” is dead
Monday, December 19, 2011 | By Bob Beauprez
The highly unpredictable, secretive, and nuclear armed leader of North Korea, one of the most oppressive regimes on the planet, has died. News of the “dear leader” Kim Jong Il’s death immediately set off speculation and concern of “now what?” around the world.
The likely successor, the twenty-something third son Kim Jong Un, is almost completely untested, inexperienced and unknown; a most troubling thought in a closed society with nuclear capabilities. The concern that Un may feel compelled to flex his nuclear muscles and make his leadership mark immediately understandably has South Korea and other neighboring countries on alert. A missile launch today in North Korea added to the tensions, but reportedly is unrelated to Il’s death. The U.S. also has more than 25,000 troops stationed on near the border.
Some foreign policy experts worry that the North Korean military may reject the youthful Un, and spark an internal power struggle. Such further possible instability increases even more the concern about the control, sale, and distribution of North Korea's nuclear technology and the possibility of militarymobilization in an already unpredictable society on the Korean Peninsula and adds to an already tense planet.
For more on the ramifications of the death of Kim Jong Il, we refer you to this STRATFOR brief. Additional information is also in this Wall Street Journal feature article, and another from the New York Times.
