Washington Redskins Announce Blockbuster Deal, Ruin My Football Season
Oh no… The Philadelphia Eagles have reached agreement on a blockbuster intra-division trade that will send perennial Pro Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins, according to multiple sources close to the situation. The two sides still must finalize language, but McNabb is now headed to Washington. Sources said the deal involved the Redskins’ [...]
Maybe the Surgeon General Could Issue a Warning for Presidential Q&As
Perhaps the next time the White House sets up a Q&A session for the President, the staff should warn the public to bring a bag lunch. That way, the audience won’t be in danger of starvation if the President decides to answer more than two questions. Last week, an audience in North Carolina nearly met [...]
Progressives Look at Tea Parties, See Giant Ink Blot
Lately, the Tea Party movement has become a giant Rorschach test, wherein a commentator can see whatever they want if they squint hard enough and turn their head at just the right angle. For instance, Democrat Steve Cohen looks over the array of Moms and Dad, Grandpas and Grandmas and sees the Klan rally from [...]
Quick! Half of You Guamians Head South!
I know this video of Hank Johnson explaining his rather Verne-like opinion of geology is ancient, in Internet Years, but I have a couple new things to add.

Let Us Give One Half-Hearted Cheer for The Economic “Healing”
The March employment numbers are out, so let us cry forth a resounding…meh. On one hand, payroll employment is up by about 162,000 jobs. Most of those jobs are government jobs or temp jobs (48,000 are Census jobs, which are both), but they’re jobs, which is much better than nothing at all. On the other [...]
Meet The Man Who Could Beat Johnny Mac
Something’s happening out in Arizona that hasn’t happened for a long while – a competitive Republican Senatorial primary. John McCain is taking major heat from J.D. Hayworth, a former Republican Congressman, and the stress is beginning to show. Stacy McCain has a profile of Hayworth on the American Spectator website and I recommend it if [...]
The Delivery Presents: Whacking Waxman and All That Jazz
Episode 32 is a done deal. The show has a more laid-back pace than some of my more recent shows. It’s been a long couple weeks and I felt like having a little bit of fun. So I invited a couple of my favorite frequent guests, Kim Haney and Ed Driscoll, for the aforementioned fun! [...]
