Year: 2011

CPAC is kind of like Christmas for conservatives without the presents. We all get together with our friends. We eat, drink, and care about our country. Together. This is my third CPAC, and every time I come back more committed to the conservative cause. Every time I come back with more love for my country. […]

I’ve got a huge roundup (with video): “Now it turns out the Muslim Brotherhood debate is becoming one of the bigger stories to emerge from CPAC.” But this really just about sums things up, “Video: ACU’s Suhail Khan declares that there is no Muslim Brotherhood in the United States“: More at Memeorandum as well.

Careful observers may notice a theme to this week’s This Week in Automotivators. Bear with me. Link: Freedom Eden. Link: Backyard Conservative. Link: Grandpa Steve. Link: Little Miss Attila. I’m not trying to rub it in, there. Second place does suck. Link: TrogloPundit. And finally: Fear not, fellow fans. The off-season can’t last forever. Previously: […]

At Marathon Pundit, “Allen West closes out CPAC, calls for “The dawn of a New America.” And previously, a photo opportunity with Congressman West. A very nice man, and a privilege to meet him.

Joshua Goldberg’s sudden death, at age 43, has really saddened me. I feel as if I’ve lost a friend — not a best friend, because we weren’t that close, but a friend nevertheless. What’s funny, though, is that I never actually met Joshua. I never talked to him on the phone. I never even saw […]

It’s not just that Wisconsin stands atop the football world, or that Wisconsin is quickly ascending to the top of the political world. It’s that Wisconsin’s CEO has what’s commonly known as “a pair:” Walker budget plan would limit state unions to negotiating only on salaries Madison – Gov. Scott Walker wants to help fix […]

I know, I know, you’re shocked by the Forbes report via the BBC A new survey of the “most miserable cities” in the US suggests that five of the 10 worst are in California. The BBC’s Peter Bowes considers whether life in the Golden State has really got that bad. For many people, life should […]

I’m hardly a fan of Ron Paul, but no doubt he’s a top CPAC newsmaker. The Hill has a report, “Ron Paul slams Patriot Act, backers drown out jeers at conference.” And the big theme at USA Today, “Ron Paul: U.S. ‘propped up’ Mubarak in Egypt.” (Via Memeorandum.) In any case, listen to it. The […]

Been a big day! Here’s the lovely Ann Coulter: And check here for a sharper picture and full report of the day’s events: “Ann Coulter at CPAC.”

All the TV news sources are reporting that VP Omar Suleiman has stated that Mubarak has stepped down. No print stories yet, have to run to work. If you find any, post them in the comments. Interestingly, if this is the case, it means Mubarak’s handpicked successor, along with the military, will be in charge. […]

I’ll be doing a full blog post on GOProud (the conservative gay organization) when I get back, but I just wanted to let you know what went on yesterday. First of all, Donald Trump smacked down the Ron Paul supporters. You probably saw the clip on the news. Trump was speaking and someone yelled out,”Elect […]

If you didn’t see the Super Bowl, you didn’t see this ad air: Now that’s funny…unless you are an incredibly dense, race baiting Congresswoman: Jackson Lee said it was ridiculous for the soft drink maker to air the advertisement during African-American history month. “In this month of African-American history where we’re trying to celebrate what […]

I’ll have more CPAC pictures posted later, but Fox & Friends just interviewed Donald Trump, and no doubt his CPAC turn yesterday generated some buzz. For example, at ABC News, “Donald Trump: If I Run For President ‘This Country Will Be Respected Again’” (via Memeorandum): During his speech, which was added to the CPAC agenda […]

Do you ever wonder where in the hell Dem Congressmen get their talking points from? Like, do they just wake up in the middle of the night and think, “you know, people are starting to catch on that American non-profit universities are full of aging hippies and undercover Communists, and with the economy being as […]
