Some of you may have heard that Senator John Kerry tried to make a joke about Governor Palin recently in light of Gov. Sanford’s, um, “adventure”. Like his previous comedic attempts, it was NOT funny. Seriously - he should leave comedy to the professionals (and Letterman doesn’t count). Anyway, The Sleuth from [...]

Love letters between Mark Sanford and his *secret Latin lady lover* were printed yesterday in The State. The South Carolina paper reported that they have been holding onto the emails for six months, and were provided by an anonymous source.
Who is that source? (And how gross is that to print
personal emails like that? [...]

The other day, a friend asked me if it was really so bad for the government to run a corporation, and added that they do some of that over in Britain. My answer was, “Yes, yes it is.” For a whole host of reasons of which I can think (and feel free to [...]

Originally published today at The Daily Beast, which wrote, “Conservative radio host John Batchelor says it’s obvious: His Republican Party is a corpse. And its response to the financial crisis reveals how and when it died.”
The Republican Party is dead like Lehman Brothers and Robert E. Lee, not to be revived by [...]

Or perhaps this essay should be entitled “Some Advocates Are Idiots.” The idiots are MoveOn.org and Americans United for Change, who according to Karl Rove, the idiot par excellence, are targeting moderate Democrats in a vain attempt to garner support for Obama’s budget proposal. I quote the Wall Street Journal:
Americans United is going [...]

A great American and loyal reader (thanks FL) shared a report recently produced by not-for-profits Essential Information and The Consumer Education Foundation. This report, Sold Out: How Wall Street and Washington Betrayed America, has gotten little to no attention in the general media. What a shame.

We keep hearing about the almost $1 TRILLION dollar “stimulus” package put forth by Obama and the Democratic leadership. And we keep hearing that a number of Republicans are pretty upset about some of the “pork” put in there.
Well, the Republicans have put out a list of some of the more egregious [...]
