New Book Alert: “Culture of Corruption”
Michelle Malkin, who is easily one of my five favorite bloggers in the entire universe, has a new book out called Culture of Corruption. I’ll give you a hint about her narrative — she won’t be using that phrase the same way Nancy Pelosi did. Even though I’ve not read a single page, I can [...]
Mitt in 2012? If He’s Learned From MassCare, Maybe So.
I’m with Smitty on Mitt Romney. If Mitt Romney segues from a state governor with some experience in health care implementation to a Federalist warrior bent on restoring state’s rights, and implementing the Federalism Amendment, he’s got my support. I’ve seen a number of conservatives on Twitter who are ready to to toss Romney off [...]

There’s no excuse for Rice’s exile on the eligibility list for 14 years except that baseball writers are a vindictive and petty lot who have decided to punish Rice for his years of not treating them like royalty. Rice [...]
A Book You Need to Read if You’re Interested in Climate Change
Here’s an interesting interview with Australian geologist Ian Plimer whose new book Heaven and Earth takes on the Cult of Global Warming and with hard facts and without fear. This is what Plimer about why his work gives him the authority to speak about global warming: ‘I’m a natural scientist. I’m out there every day, [...]
