Clearing the Browser Tabs – He is Risen Sunday Edition
If you pinned me down on what I thought were the greatest words in the Bible, I’d point you to Matthew 28:6, which reads, “He is not here, for He is risen as he said. Come see the place where the Lord lay.” In that one simple sentence, spoken by an angel to a couple [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs — Saturday Edition
This is the battleground for the 2012 election, as envisioned by political prophet Larry Sabato. Pay close attention to those tan states — they will be where the Democrats will want to pour money and people over the next year, and where they will seek to launch their most vicious attacks against any Republicans who [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – TGI Friday Edition

Good: Smart Girl Politics Action, Teri Christoph’s vacation spot, Molly Teichman’s birthday iPad, the live chat room, my fundraiser, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Phineas and Ferb. If that seems [...]
Think Progress Wants to Point Out the Rand in Ryan’s Eye While Ignoring the Sanger in Their Own
One of the most effective political attacks one can make is to chain an opponent to someone the general public doesn’t like, or wouldn’t like when they found out more about that person. Progressives cry to high heaven when conservatives note the mutual admiration society that existed between Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Benito Mussolini or [...]
