Well, Well…Guess Who’s Having Some Internal Strife, Too?
Ah, so the Republican party isn’t the only one torn by “civil war”, going through a “crackup”, experincing a “schism” , heading for a “split”, or committing “fratricide”. The Democrats are having their own problems with stunning electoral loses, recalcitrant moderates, a grassroots uprising against the party establishment, calls for donation boycotts, arguments about ideology [...]
Crisis in South Carolina: Graham May Have to Remove His Head from McCain’s Posterior.
Jennifer Rubin couldn’t be any more spot-on with this post on how South Carolina is loving lukewarm senior Senator less and less each day. This contradicts the favorite narrative of Democrats and their media handmaidens, namely that in order to stay relevant, Republicans must compromise with Obama, move leftward, and adopt policies at odds with [...]
Voting Isn’t for Everyone, Including Would-Be Senators
If you one day aspire to high elected office, you should show at least a moderate level of participation in the democratic process before you decide to run. I expect that the National Republican Senatorial Committee, delighted that another wealthy, big-government “moderate” has decided to run under its banner, will spend an inordinate amount of [...]

Whose Fault is Today’s Government Spending, Really?
Ron Coleman has compared government spending today to what it was at the height of World War II and found that even drunken sailors would quail at how freely our government is throwing our money around. You know, it’s one thing to soft-pedal atomic-bomb type radical changes such as are being proposed for the healthcare [...]
Leftist Christmas in July: Sarah Palin Resigns
Sarah Palin just announced that she is resigning as Governor of Alaska, effective the end of the month. Twitter is afire with commentary, mostly from folks watching her announcement. Still, it’s a pretty big shock. I’m not going to speculate about why she’s stepping down. I have no earthly idea. I have to think, though, [...]
Nicely Done, GOP Ad People!
This made me laugh. I agree with Allah that it’s hokey but I also agree that they’ll hit the right tone quickly enough. It’s not like they don’t have plenty of material and a year or so to sharpen the humor before the next election. But I did think it was funny. That bit about [...]
