Let me be the first to say that I’m not a big fan of Madonna, but it really blows my mind that so many people are beating her up for wanting to adopt a child: “MADONNA jetted back to Britain yesterday after her controversial tour of Malawi’s orphanages – but without the baby she has […]

During this whole cycle, I’ve been more optimistic than most people about the GOP’s chances, but based on the last few batches of polls and the smell of desperation in the air, unfortunately, I have to tell you that it’s not looking so good. In the Senate right now, Santorum and Burns look like they’re […]

If the ten percent figure is correct, that’s (18,700,000) people who support jihad actions such as the Bali bombings, and nearly (37,400,000) who support Jemaah Islamiah. And that’s just those who are willing to tell a pollster something that they would know the government would not likely be happy to hear. Tiny Minority of Extremists […]

Question: “Serious question: If the democrats take back the house and senate – not a given, but definitely a possibility – who’s fault is it? Who do you blame it on?

Late Wednesday night, I was on, The Furious Truth with Kit Jarrell, radio show. My segment ran about 30 minutes and we talked about everything from the elections to Mark Foley to North Korea. It was a fun show, seemed to go pretty well, and you can listen to the whole thing, here.

Earlier today, I got in on a teleconference with Mike Bouchard, the Rightroots Endorsed Senate candidate from Michigan, who was announcing that the Minutemen had endorsed his campaign. Chris Simcox from the Minutemen dropped a few interesting numbers during the teleconference. He said that last year, that there were 1.2 million illegals of 89 different […]

It looks like someone has gotten a little freaked out after watching, “The Day After Tomorrow,” one too many times: “A U.S. based environmental magazine that both former Vice President Al Gore (http://gristmill.grist.org/print/2006/9/19/11408/1106?show_comments=no) and PBS newsman Bill Moyers, for his October 11th global warming edition of “Moyers on America” titled “Is God Green?” (http://www.grist.org/news/maindish/2006/05/09/roberts/index.html) have […]

Rightroots was formed in July, went live in August, and as of today we’ve raised $211,451. That’s not too bad for a group of bloggers who were figuring out this whole fund raising gig on the fly. Still, things aren’t going so well for the GOP right now and unfortunately, we’re almost out of time. […]

“If the election were tomorrow, and these were the two choices, who would you be more likely to vote for?“ Sometimes, poll results just speak for themselves. Now is one of those times…

From Ann Althouse: “With Republicans, it’s sex.” “With Democrats, it’s money.” If it seems as if, “With Republicans, it’s sex. With Democrats, it’s money,” it’s because immoral Republican sexcapades and greedy Democrats bending the rules to fatten their pockets run contrary to what both parties claim to stand for. In reality, the Democrats have more […]

“Academic Freedom” at universities is just supposed to mean that professors are allowed to research and express controversial ideas without being fired. In theory, that’s a good idea. However, because it has been taken to such an extreme in academia, in practice, what it means is that Communists, conspiracy theorists, and left-wing wackos are allowed […]

On South Park last night, they made fun of conspiracy theorists who think the government was behind 9/11. Here’s a funny little song Eric Cartman sang about his belief that 9/11 was a conspiracy… “Is it wrong for me to ask questions Is it wrong to seek the truth I can’t just blindly accept their […]

“A vote for the Democratic party is basically a vote to return to Bill Clinton’s holiday-from-history. It would be nice if the Dems were full of Joe Lieberman types who are serious about national security or even Joe Biden types who at least talk in a portentous voice and pretend to be serious about national […]

Whatever you think of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s stewardship of California, occasionally he gets something right. And vetoing the effort of the California legislature to tie California’s electoral votes to the popular vote winner in the country was a very good thing to do. This is a setback to the efforts of people to create a workaround […]

I have to admit that I’m not a big fan of Christopher Shays, but he launched a truly AWESOME counter-attack at his opponent, Diane Farrell, when she tried to use the Foley scandal against him: “When the congressional page scandal broke last month, Democrats across the country saw a chance to lambaste Republican leadership – […]

So, a small plane has hit a building in New York, on October 11th, one month after the 5 year anniversary in New York. Luckily, the damage appears to be very minimal although 2 people have been killed. First thoughts: #1) Of course, the first thing they’re saying is that there is no indication of […]
