I say “Not” to Huckabee, but my opinion seems to be out of fashion with a chunk of Christian conservatives. A few days ago, I said that Huckabee reminds me of Jimmy Carter: Jimmy Carter wore his folksy, unforgiving morality on his sleeve disguised as Christianity when it was just a method to intimidate people […]

Seems odd, in fact, it seems almost un-American, to see words like this: “If the Bush administration brings forward a free-trade agreement with Colombia, I hope Congress will agree with me and say ‘Hell No,’.” Well it might seem odd until you understand who said them – Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa. Hoffa followed those […]

I was browsing along this morning, when I came across this story linked at Ace of Spades. It’s about a man — Fernando Orozco-Trevizo — who kept his girlfriend chained to an engine inside their trailer. He also beat her and strangled her. The desperate woman was able to escape by drawing “Call 911” in […]

One hundred scientists from around the globe aren’t drinking the Goracle’s Kool-Aid, and have petitioned the UN to stop pushing the global warming hoax, and the hysteria associated with it.

It seems to have the visibility, the public seems to be behind it, it’s reached the presidential level – what’s the hold up?” — jasamc Answer: What would it take to scrap the current […]

Question (Via Email): “If you’re looking for an interesting topic to write about, I hope you will consider: why did Gilchrist endorse Huckabee? I think Huckabee’s new immigration plan is disingenuous. It referred to the INS for Pete’s sake. Also, I have heard, but not verified, that it contains Pence’s touchback plan, which is basically […]

Question: “What do you think of Windows Vista?” — Dinglehoff Answer: I have toyed with the idea of getting a new desktop computer, but have avoided doing it because I’m not that excited about Vista. From what I have seen, it is much faster than XP, but it is also buggy and there are a […]

Today at 2 PM EST, I will be liveblogging the Democratic debate. It will be interesting to see if they put the Dems in that same tight format and have the same moderator that almost everyone seemed to hate. 2:00: Here we go. Same moderator. 2:01: No gravel. No Kucinich, by the way. 2:02: I […]

Comparing Fred Thompson’s “I’m not doing hand shows today” moment from the debate yesterday to Ronald Reagan’s “I am paying for this microphone” quip.

After looking around the blogosphere, the general consensus seemed to be that Fred Thompson won (although Mitt had a lot of fans, too), that Huckabee, McCain, and Giuliani were ho-hum, that Alan Keyes shouldn’t have been on the stage, and that pretty much everyone in the entire blogosphere, aside from me, seems to have utterly […]

You just can’t make this stuff up…yes, believe it or not, the liberals at the Huffington post are actually hosting a symposium that tries to figure out whether the Democratic party should continue trying to appeal to white males or not. The general consensus seems to be against the idea, but not everyone that Team […]

I’ve been saying, over and over again, for a long time that, yes, Hillary Clinton is the candidate most likely to win, but she isn’t invincible in either the Democratic primaries or in the general election. So, let’s take a look at the first two primary states for the Democrats. Iowa is practically a toss-up […]

Can Iowa Caucuses be Polled? John Zogby asks, “Can the Iowa caucuses be polled accurately?” and then more-or-less answers the question. The premise is straightforward enough: The Iowa caucuses require voters to go to a local school, church basement, private home or similar meeting place to spend between 90 minutes and two hours to register […]
