Clearing the Browser Tabs – Turning Straw into Gold (Standard) Sunday Edition
Yesterday, the good people of Iowa cast the first (sort of) votes in the 2012 Presidential campaign. If you’ve never heard of the Ames Straw Poll, you can brush up on it thanks to the wonder of Wikipedia. It should be sufficient to know that the whole events exists, so far as I can tell, [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – A Cornucopia of All Good Stuff Saturday Edition
For the first time in a while, I’m not going to “theme” the Clearing the Browser Tabs Post. I feel a little bit scattered today, and the things that have caught my attention in my RSS feed haven’t been about any one thing in particular. But that really is the purpose of a good link [...]
Perry, Palin, and the Post-Leadership President
It’s official; Texas Governor Rick Perry is in the 2012 Presidential race. He made his announcement today at the Red State Gathering in South Carolina with a rousing speech that was equal part indictment of the poor performance of our current President and unabashed optimism about what America can do in the future. Today, on [...]
Don’t Want Our Troops? No Worries. We’ll Leave!
I had an idea as I read this post by Stephen Green about how our 5th Fleet may soon have to leave its base in Bahrain. See, apparently there’s a bit of governmental turmoil there and we can’t be sure our base will remain safe from attack by, well, let’s just call them it the [...]

I have to make this a fairly short post. I’ll be guest-blogging today at the Human Events blog today and Monday for the very able John Heyward while he’s away for the weekend. If you have the time, take a minute to check out my posts over there and leave a comment or two. This [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – What’s Worse than “Crass” Thursday Edition
I’m not sure the word “crass” is broad enough to apply to this White House. This week, the military brought home the bodies of the brave soldiers who recently died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. As a show of respect to the families of the fallen, the Pentagon kept journalists away and didn’t even [...]
The Committee is Nearly Set, And the Fix is Already In.
We now know the names of nine of the twelve members of Congress who will make up the Joint Committee. This committee’s job is to find at least $1.5 trillion in “deficit reduction” from the next ten years of federal budgets that will likely total more than $37 trillion. John Heyward has a good bit [...]
The Delivery Presents – Madmen Across the Water/A Book You’ll Love
If Episode 106 sounds good, you can give most of the credit to SMPMike. The internet connection at The Delivery Broadcast Central was as bad last night as I can remember and we had to contend with several dropped connections and a few sound quality problems. However, SMPMike made everything work out well and the [...]
