Clearing the Browser Tabs – The Conservative Commune Launches Monday Edition
My friends Joy McCann (of Little Miss Attila) and Dan Collins (of Piece of Work in Progress) have teamed up to create a brand new website for conservatives-minded folks called The Conservative Commune. It is a site that will not only have all the trappings of a blog — news and commentary, video content, and [...]
A Post About Words.
Apropos of nothing, I checked the “stats” part of my WordPress dashboard. I’ve written 6,763 posts since I started The Sundries Shack over 7 years ago. If I assume an average blog post length of 500 words (and that may be a bit low), that works out to 3,381,500 total words written over that time. [...]
The Delivery Presents – The Other Half of the 2012 Plan
Episode 98 is unique thus far in The Delivery history. It’s the first time I’ve broken the “no politics” rule for the second half of the show. I know…I know. Shocked gasps all around! I wanted to dig into the most recent GOP candidates’ debate in a way that most other pundits haven’t. I don’t [...]
The Delivery Presents – Ronald Reagan, America, and the Path to Landslide
I rarely say that my shows are big and important, but Episode 97 just might qualify. If I could, I’d make sure every GOP candidate heard the first half of this week’s show. It struck me a couple weeks ago that our biggest problem as Americans right now doesn’t lie in the political policies from [...]
The Delivery Presents – Republicans, Cell Phones, Sock Puppets, and Other Things That Will Hurt You!
Episode 96 had it all: 1) Not-so-gentle mocking of DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. 2) Mentions of Anthony Weiner that didn’t include body parts. 3) A special appearance by my good friend, Occasional Spokespuppet Socky the Sock Puppet. 4) A surprise #WeinerGate revelation. 5) An introduction to the matter of over-hyped college degrees. 6) A special [...]
The Delivery Presents – Neither Bias Nor Success Are Accidents
Now that SMP Mike has released Episode 95 into the wild, The Delivery is five weeks from its 100th episode and a bit under two months from its second birthday. I mention that because being a successful broadcaster has been a dream of mine since I was young. Now, you might not think that a [...]
The Delivery Presents – Panic at the Podcast
What happens when your Super Mega Producer e-mails you a few hours before the show to tell you that he has no internet connection? Why, you wrangle a Super Mega Fill-In Producer and carry on with Episode 94! Many thanks to Joe Guzman who jumped into the fray and did a great job. Did I [...]
The Delivery Presents – Strawmen, Experience, and Why Social Media Isn’t a Rathole
I hope very much that Episode 93 ends up in the hands of a few highly-placed members of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, because I said a few things they need to hear. The whole issue of political new media and its woeful lack of funding by folks who have no problems slinging money by the [...]
