Forgive Me for Not Joining the Party: A Debbie Downer Blog Post
I’m afraid I don’t share the general exultation of the right side of the blogosphere today over the debt ceiling deal that will undoubtedly become law today. Hooray, says my friend Jeff: The Republicans scored a political win that slowed down the runaway spending locomotive! Hooray, says my friend Pete: Republicans like Allen West and Renee Elmers [...]

Aside from Zombie Reagan, What Better Endorsement Could a Freedom-Minded Candidate Get?
I don’t really know much about Adam Andrzejewski, except that he’s one of a gaggle of Republicans vying to become the next Governor of Illinois and that’s he is reportedly a pretty solid conservative.

What’s Her Face Coakley said so and if you can’t trust the newest tuchas anointed by the Democratic Party to sit in the Holy Senate Seat of Kennedy, then who the heck can [...]
Why is Coakley Playing Chicken With the Catholic Church?
Martha Coakley, known to the Republican Party as “The Gift Who Keeps on Giving”, has decided that she really doesn’t need all those Catholics working in emergency rooms.
