CPAC ’10 Comes In With a Bang, Goes Out With a Twist
Thanks to a little slip on some ice while going to my car in the parking lot of my friendly neighborhood Metro Station I know have a pretty painful ankle. As a result, I may be a no-show for tomorrow’s full day of events at CPAC. I didn’t actually sprain my ankle, but I gave [...]
Doug Hoffman Vindicates Me, Says He’ll Run Again
After Doug Hoffman lost the NY-23 Special Election, I had a number of conservative friends laugh at me when I suggested we’d be hearing from him again. “Ha ha”, they said as they threw rotten vegetables at me (figuratively, of course). “There’s no way Hoffman will run again. He’s not charismatic or handsome enough to [...]
Dick Cheney Appears at CPAC. Horns and Forked Tail Not Visible.
So, I went to this little political convention this morning and you’ll never guess who showed up. Yep, the Evil One Himself, Our Dark Lord Dick Cheney. He walked to the stage at the end of his daughter’s speech with a notable lack of sulfurous smoke nor the tortured cries of the damned. Nevertheless, the [...]
It’s Official. I’m Official!
Tomorrow morning I’ll be at CPAC, as one of the credentialed bloggers rampaging around covering the goings on with decorum and impeccable manners. As long-time readers will remember from last year’s venture into the Conservative Woodstock, I probably won’t hit many of the speeches and panel discussions. However, I will be meeting quite a few [...]
The Delivery Presents: Republican Majority Blues and a Bold Soul Singer
Episode 25 of The Delivery is now up at the newly-redesigned Take That Radio website (and the bottom of this post) and its customary iTunes abode. SuperMegaProducer Mike is focusing more on his SuperMegaProducing, which means the show is going to sound even better than it does now. We’re also kicking around a couple ways of [...]
Link Bait? Why I Don’t Know What You’re Talking About *coughChristina Hendrickscough*!
If there is a more jaw-droppingly beautiful actress on television than Christina Hendricks, I haven’t seen her. Every time I see her, I become more convinced that she is not, in fact, flesh and blood but a perfectly engineered android sent by nefarious forces to render me nigh-insensate. Why I should be their target I [...]
I Guess the Marketing Department Nixed the “Robbing Customers at Gunpoint” Strategy
It seems the public has rebuffed the major airlines’ attempt to jack up the cost of a flight. Huh. I wonder why that happened. Last week, UAL Corp’s United Airlines increased fares by $10 per round-trip, and other top carriers followed suit. But by Monday afternoon, most airlines had rolled back their prices, Farecompare.com Chief [...]
Mo’ Nukes! Mo’ Nukes!
Well, this is a promising sign. President Obama is announcing funding to break ground on the first new nuclear power plant in nearly three decades. In Lanham, Maryland Tuesday morning, Mr. Obama will announce the first loan guarantee for the construction and operation of two new nuclear reactors at a Southern Company plant in Burke, [...]
