Clearing the Browser Tabs – Let’s Get Back to Wisconsin Thursday Edition
A few months ago, conservatives all over the country focused their attention on Wisconsin and the Republican Governor and legislatures who were in a nasty knife-fight with the progressives over the budget and the power of public sector unions. National conservative activist groups and influential individuals showed up to support Governor Walker and help him [...]
The Delivery Presents – When You’ve Had Enough, You’ll Get Busy
The one thing for certain I can say about Episode 101 is that it proves, without a doubt, that I don’t know how to speak Klingon. Well, there’s also an entire first half devoted to the word “Enough”, which ought to be the cornerstone of every Republican candidate’s campaign right now (but isn’t, for reasons [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Wednesday Edition
Glenn Reynolds linked to an interesting piece by Yochanan Visser on the second Gaza Flotilla, which has not enjoyed quite as much love and adoration as the first flotilla. I think perhaps we conservatives can use this example as a blueprint for how to conduct “guerrilla marketing” campaigns in the future. Note that the bloggers [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – How Maryland Will Rob Me to Enrich Union Fat Cats Tuesday Edition
This is the month the state of Maryland, on behalf of the public sector union known as AFSCME, steals somewhere in the area of $400 from my yearly salary in order to enrich the union. As I’ve written before, I did not ask for AFSCME to negotiate on my behalf and have seen no gain [...]
There’s No Crying — or Lightning — in Soccer!
I’ve played a fair amount of competitive sports in my life, and have watched quite a bit more. I’m familiar with the lame excuses a loser can concoct to make their loss sting a bit less. However, I’ve never seen an excuse quite as grand, nor delivered quite as earnestly, as the one given by [...]
He’s a Man (Dun DAH Dah Dah Dun). He’s a Full-Grown Man!
I’m sure this will go very well. Very well. One of President Barack Obama’s 2012 themes will likely revolve around what his aides call “the contrast” — a portrayal of Obama as a responsible, moderate adult harassed by infantile Republicans who favor the wealthy. Because, goodness knows, Barack Obama has been the model of even-tempered [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Enjoy Today Because Tomorrow’s Going to be Busy Monday Edition
If you’re looking for good reading material to help you while away the morning until the barbecues, picnics, and fireworks displays begin, you’ve come to the right place. Andrew Malcolm has the only required reading for the day — the full text of the Declaration of Independence. My favorite part is at the end, [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – All About the Shipping Sunday Edition
I didn’t do a Clearing the Browser Tabs post yesterday, as you might have noticed, because I had my head into a couple other nascent projects on which I’ve been working (fitfully) for a couple months. I’ve decided that it’s more important that I start to deliver a few of these ideas instead of keep [...]
