Football, Inspiration, and Stacy.
I was reading Stacy McCain’s blog today and came across something very useful to me that I believe will be useful to you as well. He is suffering from a malady that strikes every blogger at some point in their writing career — chopped liver syndrome — but it’s hitting him particularly hard today and, in [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs - #OccupyMyBlog Monday Edition
I should have known, when I wrote about the Day of Rage, a couple of weeks ago that it would become the Month of Rage. After all, the participants weren’t exactly plucked from the ranks of the gainfully-employed (unlike the Tea Parties) and the Professional Left has been looking for any reason to dump money [...]

“Knock Knock.” “Who’s There?” “Anwar al-Awlaki.” “Anwar al-Awlaki Wh—BOOM!!”
Today, the administration announced that we put a missile in the face of al-Qaeda’s leading recruiter in the West, Anwar al-Awkali.
