Good for them. Tom Tancredo has a great line here: “The president worked hard to get a Congress that agrees with him on this and now he’s got it,” said Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican, in reference to the Democratic takeover of both chambers of Congress in the November elections. “But we’re still going to […]

“ON TUESDAY nearly every member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee warmly endorsed Lt. Gen. David H. Petraeus, the new U.S. commander in Iraq, and a number wished him success or “Godspeed” in his mission.

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation is all huffy because Glenn Beck used the word f*ggot on the air: “Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) President Neil G.

Normally, I wouldn’t bother posting about a 17 year old kid who went to jail for having consensual sex with a 15 year old because it’s really not all that uncommon. Unfortunately, it’s a sad byproduct of statutory rape laws, which, although they’re good laws overall, have a tendency to be too broadly applied. However, […]

Believe it or not, there are people whining that Bush didn’t mention New Orleans and Katrina in his State of the Union Speech: The MRC’s Brad Wilmouth corrected the closed-captioning against the video for the January 24 CBS Evening News story: Katie Couric: “In his State of the Union Address, President Bush took note of […]

Yesterday, I was invited to a blogger teleconference that had been called about a proposal that was designed to pressure the GOP senators into standing up against a non-binding resolution that would condemn the surge.

The Republicans in the Senate have sent out a press release directing people’s attention to this article, which exposes the hypocrisy of ACORN, a left-wing outfit. Here’s part of the release: Minimum Wage: activist group ACORN demands a minimum wage increase without relieving the burden it imposes on small businesses: It’s time for Congress to […]

There didn’t seem to be much excitement around the right side of the blogosphere about Bush’s State of the Union speech — and I mean that literally. There didn’t seem to be a lot of scathing criticism (although the immigration portion of the speech predictably rankled a lot of bloggers) or soaring praise. In fact, […]

It’s amazing to see how this story is being broken down along racial lines when it doesn’t appear to be a story about race: A potentially explosive dispute in the City Too Busy to Hate is taking shape over a proposal to break Fulton County in two and split off Atlanta’s predominantly white, affluent suburbs […]
