We lost another great musician yesterday. Donald “Duck” Dunn, who provided the bassline for Memphis R&B and Soul for a good chunk of the 60s died in his sleep at the age of 70. Dunn was in Tokyo, where he had played a double-set with long-time musical partner Steve Cropper and the legendary singer Eddie [...]
I really did have an entirely different set of notes for the first half of Episode 146, but tossed them all out the window when I learned that the Tea Parties had knocked off perma-Senator Dick Lugar. You may not know who Lugar is nor why it’s a big deal that after January, he won’t [...]
If you rounded up all the people who have done more than desultory reporting on the Fast and Furious scandal, you could get them all in the banquet room of the average Old Country Buffet and still have plenty of space left over. I was fortunate enough to have one of those few, journalist for [...]

Episode 144, otherwise known as The Week of the Bungled Blurb, is all about oil and deception. And sock puppets. And dog-eating. Hey, did you know President Obama ate a dog? He did. He proclaimed it “tough”, unlike most people who would proclaim it “OH MY GOD!! EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW [...]
For reasons I can not imagine, our government left an advocate for freedom and decency in the hands of the Tyrants of Beijing. Chen Guangcheng quite literally begged our representatives in China to take him with them, or so the report says (though the Obama administration says differently, which means that someone has lied to [...]
Newt Gingrich ended his campaign yesterday with a statement I’m sure people on both the left and right will ridicule whenever his name comes up over the next couple of years. I won’t be one of them. See, I backed Newt for the Republican nomination and, quite honestly, I’m sorry to see him go. I [...]
When we last saw the EPA’s Al “Crucify ‘Em All and Let Obama Sort ‘Em Out” Armendariz, he was stuttering his way through a mea culpa like Jackie Gleason through an episode of The Honeymooners. Today, he finally got his story straight, well, straight enough to know that his candid speech two years ago was [...]
ABC News went inside the GOP “war room” and, well, it’s not pretty in there. Chairman Reince Priebus has assembled a bunch of folks who monitor web sites and blogs and various other new media platforms to see what the Democrats are saying so they can react quickly. I suppose that’s a good thing. After [...]
The jumped-up suit in this video is Al Armindariz. He is the Region VI Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency. His job, as he sees it, is to terrorize the energy industry so badly that producers are afraid to do their jobs. The Romans used to conquer little villages in the Mediterranean. They’d go into [...]
Eight years ago, I had this little conversation with myself: ME: You know, I’ve been reading these blogs like Captain’s Quarters, Q and O, Instapundit, and Ace of Spades HQ for a little bit now. I’d like to try my hand at that. I bet I could get a few readers myself. OTHER ME: Really? [...]
Barack Obama is bound and determined to prove that he can truly relate to average Americans, that he more than Mitt Romney knows just what America wants to hear. And what did he decide America wanted to hear? A slow jam about college loans and evil Republicans. I really do wish that was a joke, [...]
Let’s imagine you wanted to bring the greatest nation in the history of the world to its knees without taking on its formidable military or rousing its people greatly. What might you do? A new group called Free Market America lays out a pretty solid plan to get it done. Their video must have been [...]
The big lie most often told by the MSM is that they know better than you what is and is not news. Every day, though, you can find an example of just how untrue that assertion really is. I kick off Episode 143 with a tale of funny Obamacare math, a newspaper article that got [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve gotten as intense a reaction I got from last week’s show, not just from the FTR chatroom (which is always wonderfully raucous) but also from folks on Twitter. If those are typical of what the average engaged Republican voter is thinking right now, then the GOP is in for [...]
Another week, another bunch of great links for which I just don’t have time to write a proper blog post. You know, if one of these posts tickles your fancy, maybe you can grab the link and write something up on your own blog. Heck, just share them on Twitter or Facebook and get more [...]
I’m not going to say that the Obama administration lies to an accepting media with the practiced smoothness of a Three Card Monte dealer in Times Square. That would be mean and, goodness knows, this White House does get all het up when we say mean things about it. However, I’m at a loss to [...]
