Nationals’ Catcher Ramos Kidnapped in Venezuela
This is not the kind of story I expected to see today.
Brass Balls Sends Out the Signal. Who Will Answer?
Usually, the shows Wendy and Kimberly do don’t delve into the intensely serious and personal on their Brass Balls Radio podcast, but she made a very important exception with this week’s show. Their guest is an exceptional woman named Jamie Walton, who has an organization called The Wayne Foundation. Her job, and the job of [...]
Crazy is Crazy, No Matter What Lever You Pull
I really am tired of the progressive left’s idiotic and malicious attempts to paint every newsworthy violent act as the fault of conservatives and/or the Tea party movement. It’s as if they are trying to build the Great Wall of Denial to hide themselves from the shame of so many utopian movements gone horribly wrong. [...]
Yes, Folks, Bloggers Can Do Live Reporting. Here’s Some Now.

Conveniently, lethal injection is the only legal means [...]
Good News: Osama bin Laden’s Driver Found Guilty
Outstanding! A military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay has convicted Obama bin Laden’s former driver Salim Hamdan of providing material support to terrorists. The conviction could earn him life in prison and I sincerely hope the officers who will decide the sentence opt for the maximum possible penalty. Like Michelle says, though, let’s wait for the [...]
