My Political Valentines

Over at NRO, they have a symposium called My Political Valentine. Here’s the description: True love — that’s what Valentine’s Day is all about. True political love, that is. (This is National Review Online, not Oprah Online, after all.) We asked a group of politics lovers who their one true is (or was). Here’s what […]

Assassinating Radical Mullahs And Iranian Atomic Scientists Isn’t A Bad Idea

Yesterday, Glenn Reynolds over at Instapundit caught some flack for saying this, “We should be responding quietly, killing radical mullahs and iranian atomic scientists, supporting the simmering insurgencies within Iran, putting the mullahs’ expat business interests out of business, etc. Basically, stepping on the Iranians’ toes hard enough to make them reconsider their not-so-covert war […]

My Take On The Edwards Bloggers

I’ve been watching Amanda Marcotte, what’s her face, John Edwards’ sage with great interest over the last week and a half or so, if only because I’m working on a Republican presidential campaign myself.

CBS Poll: 50% Of Americans Say We Will Succeed In Iraq

CBS News has out a fascinating poll on the war. I say “fascinating” because although it’s split on a lot of questions and shows that Americans are generally pessimistic about the war, it also definitively shows that Americans DO NOT want to cut and run in Iraq. Yet according to Newsbusters, here’s how Katie Couric […]

The MySpace Experience

This week-end, I went ahead and set up a MySpace page, as much as anything because I believe one of my duties will be setting up a MySpace page for the presidential contender I’ll be working for through a consulting company (Hopefully, I will be able to announce the name of the candidate in the […]

John Howard Is Right About Obama And The Democrats

As I headed over to Memorandum today, I expected to see a slew of liberal attacks on Aussie PM John Howard after he had the audacity to speak the truth about Barack Obama and the Democratic Party: “Senator Obama has introduced a bill to remove US combat forces from Iraq by March 31 next year […]
