Good, Tea Party Patriots. Go get ‘em! “He [GOP strategist and PAC-guru Karl Rove] sounds like he’s challenging us, and we’re ready to rise to the challenge,” Jenny Beth Martin, founder of the Tea Party Patriots, told The Hill. Martin’s group last week launched the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund, a super-PAC that will be [...]
Oh, those silly French. The French government is redefining hashtag with a Gallic touch. The country that has an academy devoted solely to the use of the French language has given its official seal of approval to a new word for the Twittersphere: mot-dièse. For those of you not versed in the ways of Twitter, [...]
If you’re interested in making a living as a freelancer, Fred Hicks , who knows freelancing from both sides, has a couple bits of advice for you. First is: Answer your emails super-promptly.

This strikes me as very, very important. More facts to face: the media is liberal. The news organizations are liberal. They protected their candidate. And it worked.

If you have any doubt about whether the mainstream media outlets are in the tank for Barack Obama, let the first half of Episode 152 blow your doubts to flinders like a cannonball through a Popsicle stick. What Andrea Mitchell did in her newscast ought to have gotten her fired . It should have drawn [...]
If this is representative of young political leaders, we really don’t have to worry about the “youth vote” in November. A 2009 Pew Research Center study indicates that 10 percent of internet users ages 18 and older have used a social networking site for some sort of political or civic engagement.

It is an act of rank journalistic malfeasance that most of America had not heard of Derrick Bell, the father of one of the most noxious racist philosophies ever created, before last week. I did the job in Episode 138 the MSM still refuses to do, but I did a bit more than that. Bell’s [...]
For the past couple of months, I’ve been working with a bunch of exceptional people on a project I’ve not been able to talk about, even though I’ve really wanted to shout about it from the rooftops.
