I’ve been saying this for a while. Newt Gingrich might be the tortoise that wins this race. He keeps creeping up in the polls. Not making a fuss, just plodding along with great conservative ideas, and a brilliant mind. The others have raced ahead, fighting each other to try and get past Mitt Romney. These […]

UPDATE – links fixed. Sorry about that. Click the links. There will be a few more than usual this week, and a few more than usual leading back to one of my own posts. Sorry. It was just that kind of week. Photo link: Grandpa Steve, Go there to find out who those people are […]

If you want to know: what song you heard on a movie soundtrack.

I know, I’m supposed to take the news that President Obama “insulted” French president Nicolas Sarkozy as a sign of Obama’s stupidity. But I just can’t. Because it’s the French, because politics really should stop at the water’s edge (except for Hawaii), and because… …seriously, you French, you bunch of dweebs are mad about what, […]

Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich will participate tonight n the Woodlands for a Lincoln/Douglas style debate at 6pm central. I’ll be there covering it, so follow me on twitter @KatMcKinley for live tweeting. It will be a 90 minute debate hosted by the Texas Patriots: PAC. There is no moderator. The two candidates will discuss and […]

Every day at Wisconsin’s state capitol, twenty or so people get together at lunchtime for a pro-union, anti-Scott Walker singalong. It’s annoying, but harmless, and, well, whaddayagonna do. Free speech. But. Wisconsin fourth grade classes traditionally take a field trip to the state capitol. Naturally, these days, these fourth-graders are getting a first-hand view of […]

I dunno the answer, but that headline was automatically sent to my twitter feed. So I hope any CIA analysts reading it are enjoying the discussion amongst themselves: AP Exclusive: CIA following Twitter, Facebook In an anonymous industrial park in Virginia, in an unassuming brick building, the CIA is following tweets – up to 5 […]

Now that something significant has finally happened with it, I’ll go ahead and say something here. What has happened that is significant? Rush Limbaugh opined on it, and it’s the first thing I’ve read that makes sense. Video with recording of the broadcast behind the link. Politico, you failed. You attempted, along with others in […]

Interesting, but sorry,: #6 should be #1. “The Trouble with Tribbles” was one of the finest episodes of television in my lifetime. When Scottie grinned and said, “Where they’ll be no tribble at all” and that orchestral fanfare blew in . . . an eleven-year-old me couldn’t help but smile and think life was great.

When you’re trying to help the economy recover, the smartest thing to do would be to make it as easy as possible for Americans to start and run their own small businesses, no? I mean, look, if corporate America isn’t hiring and the government can’t afford the workers it has now, the only option is […]

The longer cities wait to force the Occupy Wall Street movement to obey the law, the more likely it is to end in violence.

The Occupy Wall Street crowd already has the American Communist Party behind them (along with the American Nazi Party, due to their joint anti-Semitism), so, we shouldn’t be particularly shocked by this (NY Post) Some 50 Occupy Wall Street proteyesterday –giving an enthusiasticgenuine communist. Alex Callinicos, a professor of European Studies at Kings College in […]

Really, I didn’t think liberals were worth that much (MSNBC) Zombies may be the walking undead, but their contribution to Main Street’s economy is very much alive. In modern times, the zombie genre has evolved from a cult following to a highly popular theme. 24/7 Wall St. estimates that the today’s zombie genre economy is […]

They’ve got a point: RICHMOND, VA (WTVR) – The Richmond Tea Party is asking the city of Richmond for its money back. They say they’re not happy to hear that Occupy Richmond protesters get to stay in Kanawha Plaza – for free. In April, the Richmond Tea Party held a Tax Day Rally in Kanawha […]

Some beauties: here. “Paul is Dead”: oops. NASA faked the moon landings: yeah, sure. Elvis is alive! Please let me know if you see the King walking around.

The only rules of Open Post are there are no rules for Open Post, except all excerpted material must contain at least some commentary

Paul Ryan gave a speech on the politics of division at Heritage today. Read the whole thing, but here is the heart of it: Speaking of what Obama said as a candidate: Do you remember what he said? He said that what’s stopped us from meeting our nation’s greatest challenges is, quote, “the failure of […]

Click the links under each picture if you need a little more explanation. Link: me. And just in case you think I’m egotistical enough to present myself as a fine example of leadership…well, yeah. You got me there. I am egotistical enough. But still, you should click the link, because there’s more to it than […]

To paraphrase Emerson, “Deliciousness is its own excuse for being.”

I said that when it came to open threads on Friday, I would skip them if John did a Q&A Friday, so, this is not really an open thread where you can talk about whatever you like. I also told Stan I would pick on him, but, since this really is not an Opinion thread […]

I can’t be the only one disturbed by the video of Qaddafi’s dead bloody body being thrown around and beaten for the camera. As one Lebanese-American journalist and activist I follow on twitter tweeted, @iRevolt: “It’s one thing to feel elated at the ousting, removal, etc. of a dictator; turning death into a corpse-whoring party […]

What does it take to get an entire OccupyWhatever group to be quiet for one God-forsaken minute? Apparently, just give them the idea that the best way to protest something is to have a “rally of silence.” Members of Occupy Houston will rally in silent protest at Energy Day on Saturday October 15, 2011. Energy […]

For movies. I hadn’t heard of: it: before.

Surely not, though. God loves Wisconsin too much to let that happen. Doesn’t He? Or…could this be evidence that St. Louis is gonna win the NLCS? Oh, right, you don’t know what I’m talking about. Remember Harold Camping? Camping, 88, has scrutinized the Bible for almost 70 years and says he has developed a mathematical […]

Probably won’t “blow your mind” but they are: interesting.
