Clearing the Browser Tabs – Conservative Vision Wednesday Edition
Lee Stranahan asked a question about the Republican Party, “vision”, and guerilla journalist James O’Keeffe the other day that I think deserves an answer from people within the GOP. Whether you like or hate O’Keeffe (and I freely admit I’m closer to the latter than the former), it’s nearly impossible to deny that he’s had [...]
Deliver for The Delivery — The First Podcast Fundraiser
If you listen to even one episode of The Delivery, you know it is unique. No other podcast mixes politics and pop culture with humor and geek jokes and…why am I describing it? You don’t need a sales pitch. You know how good it is. There is a sales pitch, though. So far, I’ve done [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Lay Off the Royals Tuesday Edition
I happened across a story in my RSS reader that made me a bit annoyed. A British historian and television personality named Starkey felt it would be a fine idea to say that Prince William and his fiancee Kate Middleton have “not a trace of high romance or grand Mills & Boon passion” in their [...]
Why I Won’t See “Atlas Shrugged: Part I” But Why You Probably Should
Okay, you got me. I admit it. I’ve never actually finished Ayn Rand’s classic novel Atlas Shrugged. I tried, three times in fact, and each time I got about a quarter of the way through the approximately eleventy-bazillion page novel and stopped from sheer exhaustion. It’s not that I’m not sympathetic to Rand’s message; I am. [...]
On Content Theft and the Big Dogs
In my nearly seven years as a conservative political blogger, I’ve learned a lot things. One of them is that my content is going to get stolen by journalists, columnists, radio hosts, and television pundits. The sad truth of the conservative blogosphere is that, unless you’re one of the truly big bloggers, you can expect [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Finally, A Slow Weekend Monday Edition
Thankfully, this weekend was fairly slow, at least on the news wires. I needed the break, what with the bonus podcast I did Friday and the daily Clearing the Browser Tabs posts that ended up being just a teensy bit longer than I intended them to me. I spent the time cooking up new deviltry [...]
The Delivery Presents – Bonus Friday Caring with Kurt
Special Bonus Friday Episode 89 turned out to be everything I thought it would be when I asked Kurt Schlichter to come on the show with me — funny, smart, and wickedly cutting. We talked about John Boehner’s budget deal, the slide of America into today’s modern welfare state, and the origin of the Community [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – What Palin Should Learn From Breitbart Sunday Edition
Yesterday, Sarah Palin went to Wisconsin to speak to the Tax Day Tea Party there and gave a speech that may well prove her first real stump speech of the 2012 campaign. As I’ve said before, I’ve no idea if Palin is running for President (and I still don’t believe she knows either), but it’s [...]
