How About A Wednesday Morning Acoustic Rock-Out
I’m in the mood for some music to get the blood pumping this morning. You? This is one of the best acoustic versions of a guitar rock song I’ve ever heard. It’s from a live convert the group did in England in, I believe, 1995. If you’re up for a challenge, hit the pause button [...]
Okay, GOP Candidates, Time to Put Your Game-Faces On
Someone might want to consider throwing Ed Driscoll some political consultant cash. He is has it exactly right in this post. Whoever is the Republican nominee in 2012, he will be a target for ridicule — that’s simply what the left does. But will he be prepared for it? The indecision shown by the last [...]
Have a Little “Hair of the Dog”.
I really get a kick out of Stephen Green’s “Hair of the Dog” shows on PJTV, though I’m not much of a fan of PJTV overall. For one, I can’t figure out if there’s a way to embed Stephen’s video on my blog. That sort of thing should be easy and obvious by now and, [...]
We’re Sorry She Didn’t Like Being Told To Pound Sand
Are you really, really sure you’re ready for government-run health care? I mean, really sure? Because I don’t think you ladies are quite ready to deliver your babies on the sidewalk because the government flunky you called denied you an ambulance because you had nine months to plan for a ride. The best part of [...]
Slum Lord Journalists
I like this observation by Ed Driscoll: The legacy media has long since prided itself on being the “first draft of history”. Every writer knows his first draft is almost invariably his worst, and polishes repeatedly. But normally, mostly for style; presumably the facts are correct before the writing begins. How will the second, third [...]
Don’t Listen to Her, She’s Raving!
The editors of National Review are not at all impressed with Sarah Palin’s “death panel” talk. I’m not terribly surprised, since they seem like a fine group of genteel folks who don’t like bare-knuckles politics. It would probably have saved them some time, though, if they had written, “Our thoughts on Mrs. Palin’s phrasing can [...]
More Profiles in Town Hall Corrup…err…Courage
Democratic Senator Dick Durbin says that meeting with his constituents is “not constructive” but meeting with big-money health care officials who could dump a few millions bucks into his pockets is meaningful. Ed Morrissey has another profile in courage as well of yet another Democratic member of Congress who has decided to hold his town [...]
Live Tea Party Journalism
Stacy McCain has a new blogging BFF. Her name is Barbara Espinosa and she’s blogging from the middle of an Obamacare protest in Phoenix. The President is supposed to speak to the annual VFW convention there and the protesters aim to let him know that he might want to come clean with those old veterans [...]
