There Is No Pantsless Friday in Congress
Well, thank goodness for small favors, huh? It’s no secret that members of Congress broker deals on the treadmill or in the weight room of the House and Senate gyms. But former congressman Eric Massa’s accusation that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel once berated him in the gym’s shower over his vote against [...]
The Delivery Presents: Muir on Cartooning and Haney on Hollywood
Episode 28 of The Delivery is now plated and ready for you to dig right in. I tried something a little bit new this week – having a guest in each half of the show. Chris Muir anchors the first half and Kimberly Haney comes in for the second. I enjoyed myself so much that I [...]
The Un-American Nancy Pelosi

While Virginia enacted a statute, 25 other states are considering constitutional changes, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Virtually all the proposals object [...]
You Need Morality to Have “A Moral Equivalent of War”.
Ed Driscoll has an interesting post up today on the progressive penchant to identify everything as a crisis in order to gin up public sentiment for its various utopian programs. Before I get into that, though, let me pull out this utterly brilliant Thomas Sowell quote from Ed’s piece. There’s something Eric Hoffer said: “Intellectuals [...]
