Breaking News: McCain Says GOP Will Suspend Most of Monday’s Convention Events Due to Hurricane Gustav

Sunday afternoon humor: Why Arab/Muslim Americans should not vote for Obama (page doesn’t work in Firefox, IE only) Arab and Muslim voters thought, in Obama that they were witnessing a candidate with a shot of wining, that he was not part of the pro-Israeli establishment that fills the halls of power in Washington who usually […]

All because she doesn’t support “women’s issues”, meaning she doesn’t support abortion. Because, you know, all women care about is abortion. That’s it. Only abortion. Nothing else. Sen. John McCain’s choice of Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate is a cynical effort to appeal to disappointed Hillary Clinton voters and get them to […]

Direct quote: I was just thinking that, uh, this Gustav is proof that there is a God in Heaven — that it would actually be on its way to New Orleans on Day One of the Republican Convention in the Twin Cities at the top of the Mississippi River. Sick, demented, deranged, son of a […]

Bruce Weinstein sends along his latest column in Business Week, “The Ethics of Protesting.” A Code of Ethics for Protesting Yes, we have a responsibility to speak up when we are upset by what’s going on in the world, but there are better and worse ways to do it, from both ethical and practical perspectives.

I’m impressed. It’s Sarah Palin with a gun. In Kuwait. Visiting our troops. And hey, she didn’t have to wait for it to be an election gimmick, either. She went all on her own. Imagine that, eh, Obama? Heard in the background: Yeah, you’re pretty much hitting it dead center. I’m swooning. Cross-posted from Cassy’s […]

One of the secondary story lines to this weeks GOP Convention is tomorrow’s process to propose and adopt the GOP National Platform for 2008. Just this past week, before the awesome announcement of Sarah Palin as the Vice Presidential nominee, the platform committee submitted a Pro-Global Warming position, which was not welcomed by Conservatives. Myself […]

This is terrible. A tragedy A Martinez womanwho used another person’s identity to get a $20,000 breast lift and tummy tuck in Greenbrae was sentenced Wednesday to nine months in the Marin County Jail. She nearly got away with it, but a get-well bouquet and a navel itch were her undoing. Londie Bowman, 32, will […]

Well, we should be concerned, darn it. These unpopular truths have to be faced up to: experience matters. That’s why, with Governor Palin joining McCain as his Veep pick, Obama and Biden should at least consider flipping their ticket, so that the guy at the top has done . . . well, something. Otherwise, the […]

With other Democrats echoing her own sentiments, Michelle Obama, wife of Democrat Socialist Party presidential candidate Barack Obama, promised her husband would: “protect a woman’s freedom of choice, because government should have no say in whether or when a woman embraces the sacred responsibility of parenthood.” {Source: Catholic News Agency} Well, it is good to […]

To me, the first good thing about the Palin nomination is that it highlights Obama’s inexperience. You can just hear him going around the house muttering, “I know you are, but what am I? I know you are, but what am I? I know you are, but what am I?” To date, Obama has written […]

I think we all knew this would happen, but here is the first evidence via Zogby. New York – Republican John McCain’s surprise announcement Friday of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate – some 16 hours after Democrat Barack Obama’s historic speech accepting his party’s presidential nomination – has possibly stunted any Obama […]

Update: Topless photos??? Ace is getting traffic from lefties looking for Sarah Palin bikini pics. Somehow in their warped minds they think this will be some kind of scandal that will make social-cons not vote for her. However, they are as usual…stupid. By the way, if anyone can find a picture of her in a […]

Via Rick, a discussion taking place on Desperate Preacher, kicked off by Pam with some comments that are truly asinine noteworthy: In John McCain’s recent commercials, he calls himself the Original Maverick. In our household, we’ve had some different responses to this. I’d like to know how you hear it and what you think he’s […]

Just some stuff I’ve been noticing since the news broke about Sarah Palin. Apart from sharing blogger friend Phil’s sense of alarm that my age is very close to that of one of our fifty state governors. And training my brain to remember, when the eyeballs see “Palin” in written form, that the name rhymes […]

There are at least 25 reasons to love Sarah Palin for VP.  Here are mine: She’s got chief executive experience in government, unlike Obama, Biden and even McCain. She gives renewed hope to women of America that they will live to see the first woman president.  This is especially touching when it comes to seniors […]

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 […]

Over at Flopping Aces, MataHarley meticulously goes over the history of Palin’s connections to both Trooper Wooten and Commissioner Monegan. She examines many sources, including some that are clearly antagonistic toward Palin, and yet still appear to support the notion that there was no attempt by Palin or her husband to use their influence to […]

Michael Moore, talking to Keith Olbermann, discusses the possibility that a hurricane during the GOP convention might prove the existence of God, and suggests that women who are happy with Sarah Palin’s being part of the GOP ticket this year are “dumb.” This reminds me why I don’t go out of my way to watch […]

Part of — alas — a continuing series… (Kathy Shaidle blogs at FiveFeetOfFury.com and is the new Examiner.com “Conservative Politics blogger, too)

How soon we forget. Bill Clinton a few nights ago: He recalled that 16 years ago “Republicans said I was too young and too inexperienced to be commander in chief. Sound familiar? It didn’t work in 1992 and it will not work in 2008.” Really? Well it doesn’t mean that Democrats won’t try: Rep. Diana […]

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 […]

The website of the day is Sarah Palin Facts.    

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!!” […]

Let’s see how this breaks out. Foreign policy and national security are the forte of the executive. The Democrats have nominated a presidential candidate with no experience in either area. The Republicans have nominated a vice presidential candidate with no experience in either area. Which makes more sense to you? Under the topic of change, […]

Even as temperatures continue to cool, global warming hoaxers get ever hotter under the collar at the way their proclamations of imminent doom are ignored. A particularly hysterical diatribe in WaPo declares that we have only 7 years to forsake our comfortable lifestyle and submit to a government-imposed economic depression, or: The Earth is on […]

At 3:30 PM EST, I’m going to be on the Jaz McKay show. Click on Stickam in the left corner to listen to the show.

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 […]

A little Van Halen blasting while John and Cindy McCain comes out. One thing about the smaller venue. The crowd sounds blaringly loud. Everyone is fired up There is more energy here than there was at the DNC all week. Crowd singing Happy Birthday to John McCain who is 77. Now, they’re shouting, “John McCain!” […]
