Honestly, there wasn’t much to review because they called off all of the big speeches because of Gustav. So, the convention on night one was nothing more than basic business and appeals to charity: in other words, it was dullsville, night one. Of course, that could be a blessing in disguise since it was Labor […]

The Left, which has been completely terrified by the selection of Sarah Palin, has been making misogynist attacks on her, smearing her children, and generally making even bigger jackasses of themselves than normal. Now, believe it or not, they’re even starting to fantasize about her dropping out and being replaced by a VP that would […]

The New York Times ran a snotty piece speculating about whether McCain properly vetted Palin. Well, let’s do a little comparison of “scandals” between Palin and Obama and see who really needed to be vetted. Palin: Her husband had a drunk driving conviction a couple of decades ago. Obama: He used cocaine a couple of […]

Initially, Palin wasn’t my first pick for VP, but I thought she was still a good pick. Now, after watching the Left and mainstream media go insane over her, things may change if she screws up later on, but right now, she seems like the best pick McCain could have made. Why? 1) She energizes […]

Yesterday, I received a really great piece of “glurge” in my email that I thought was good enough to share (although I don’t think you really catch wild pigs this way, do you?). I did a Google search and wasn’t able to determine who initially wrote it, so if you know who it was, shoot […]

“This is the pro-life choice. The fact that people will criticize her for this shows the astounding extent to which the secular critics of the pro-life movement just don’t get it. Those who criticize the Palin family don’t understand that we don’t see babies as a punishment but as a blessing. Barack Obama said that […]

I was happy to have the opportunity to get together for an Interview with Wayne Elise, the founder and CEO of Charisma Artswhich has 15 instructors who run in-field bootcamps and teach men how to meet women. He has written for Esquire and Blender magazine as well as authored an Ebook, “How to Meet and […]

This week, the Republican National Convention is kicking off and there are going to be almost 200 bloggers attending. However, I’m not going to be one of them. That’s not because I didn’t put in an application, it’s because they didn’t want me there. My application for media credentials was not approved. That’s despite the […]

The geniuses over at the world’s most influential liberal blog have another…uh, let’s call it “unconventional” theory about Sarah Palin. From Daily Kos diarist BerkeyBee, “Palin will not be the VP nominee This is just a Karl Rove head fake to take away attention from the Democratic Convention, the most incredible convention with the best […]

This week-end, I was chatting with a non-political friend of mine about Sarah Palin and she gave me the single most novel take on the vice-presidential choices I’ve heard so far. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t agree with this, it was just so out-of-the-box that I had to blog it. In my friend’s opinion, […]

Hat tip to IMAO for the bumper sticker.

You could tell that the Left was caught flat footed by the selection of Sarah Palin as McCain’s VP yesterday. They started off by attacking her experience, which is deeply ironic, given that she is more qualified to be President than their own nominee, Barack Obama. So now that they’ve figured out that the only […]

If you listened to Barack Obama’s speech on Thursday, he was promising that government is going to fix every problem that the American people have. Got too many weeds in your yard? Under an Obama Presidency, they’ll send someone around to pull ’em up. Need someone to watch the kids while you run to Blockbuster […]

So, you may be asking yourself: is the Sarah Palin pick going to move any Hillary voters over to John McCain? To answer that question, I headed over (after being told about a link at Right Wing Sparkle) to the Hillary Clinton forum and looked at a thread called “Sarah Palin is McCain’s VP selection!!” […]

I watched Sarah Palin’s roll-out today and it was real home run. She has a great family, a great resume, and for the first time in more than a year, the crowd at a John McCain event seemed genuinely excited. Palin introduced herself to the world, talked up John McCain a bit, and delivered this […]

You never know how much stock to put in the rumors that are flying around about big appointments like this — actually, it’s a good idea not to put too much stock in them. The ones about the Supreme Court picks for Bush were usually wrong. However, at the moment, what’s being said is that […]

“It is with great humility that I accept this nomination at a temple in front of 80,000 with fireworks blasting overhead.” — A reader at The Corner mocks The One Before Obama’s speech, I switched from CNN, which was universally in the tank for Obama over to MSNBC to watch the coverage — and Oh. […]

Last week, I announced a blog contest that pays $50 to the best anti-socialized medicine post in the blogosphere. The winner on the first week is the Daily Danet for the post, “Why Healthcare Is Not A Right.” He’ll receive $50 for that post. Here are some bonus posts about socialized medicine that you may […]

Hey, folks, one of my sources at the Democratic convention (I think this is one of the guys Jerome Corsi used to confirm that Bush is creating a North American Union) sent me some blockbuster footage. What you are about to see is secret footage, taken with a hidden camera, of the actual Obama campaign […]

I’ve continued watching the convention on CNN, primarily because I want to get the liberal spin as it occurs or maybe, because I am more of a masochist than I realize. Either way, CNN is very annoying. Anyway, things kicked off at 8 PM with Melissa Etheridge performing. That, CNN showed. But then, while Harry […]

Ted Stevens has won a primary in Alaska despite the fact that he has been indicted and looks to have taken bribes. Let me be brief and blunt: Ted Stevens is every bit as much of a crook as Duke Cunningham was and he doesn’t deserve Republican support in November. It’s tough to lose a […]

Sen. Barack Obama will portray himself Thursday night as an agent of change for mainstream America, but his eight-year voting record in the Illinois Senate shows the Democrat was on occasion an agent of isolation who took stands – particularly on anti-crime legislation – that put him to the left of his own party. Mr. […]

Over at the Democratic Underground, they have a thread called, “If they steal the election again, what then?” As you take a look at these responses, remember that for ultra-libs like the ones you are reading, “they stole the election” means the same thing as, “we lost the election.” They believe the election was “stolen” […]

Right on the eve of the Republican Convention, Gustav is headed towards the coast and it’s entirely possible that it will land on Tuesday of next week — possibly even in New Orleans. Since the Bush Administration has been unfairly blamed for the incompetence of the locals during Katrina, McCain needs to be ready to […]
