Can We Just Send the Democratic Leadership Some Shipping Crates Now?
This is huge. Republicans lead by 51% to 41% among registered voters in Gallup weekly tracking of 2010 congressional voting preferences. The 10-percentage-point lead is the GOP’s largest so far this year and is its largest in Gallup’s history of tracking the midterm generic ballot for Congress… This marks the fifth week in a row [...]
No, You Didn’t Hear “Boo!”, You Heard “Woo! Woo!”
As you no doubt know*, I’m a fan of “ghost hunting” shows and, one day, I’d love to be involved in a legitimate ghost hunt (as opposed to those hunts where you pay 50 bucks and you get a tour guide a glorified haunted house amusement park ride). When I do finally get on that [...]
Palin Jealously is Such an Ugly, Hilarious Thing
Let me sum up this air-biscuit of an editorial in today’s New York Times thusly: Sarah Palin is is a mean, racist, stupid conservative who is bad for women but who has, due to powers we are quite willing to attribute to witchcraft, inspired more women to get involved in politics in just a couple [...]

But I’m feeling better this weekend (though not 100 percent) and I even felt like taking a walk! Blogging will recommence shortly. [...]
Flushed with JournoList Success, The Daily Caller Produces Something That Should Be Flushed.
Tucker Carlson’s $3 million vanity project, The Daily Caller isn’t going to be around much longer if it continues to print garbage like this as news. Jonathan Strong sallied forth today to smite the right-wing blogosphere a mighty blow, perhaps because his boss took a bit too much heat for his week-long JournoList transcriptions. Unfortunately, [...]
The Fedora Takes Over Ricochet
I have become quite a fan of what Rob Long; Peter Robinson; editors James Poulos and Diane Ellis; and a whole host of stellar bloggers are doing over at Ricochet. One of its new features is Guest Contributor Week, for which the editorial staff corrals a blogger and lets them post pretty much as they [...]
