  • The crown jewel of career suicide
    I cannot find the words to convey my seriousness when I insist that you must see this.

  • The Vote Pump sucketh
    Is this what you want?  If so, vote for Barack Obama. We do not have a revenue problem.  We have a spending problem.

  • Romney wins 2012 Florida primary
    Courtesy of the NY Times (click image to zoom): Is Mitt Romney’s nomination inevitable?  Hardly.  He’s won a mere 71 of the required 1144 delegates.  He’s not even 7% of the way there. On to Maine and Nevada we go.

  • The GOP Establishment’s attitude
    Well, well, well. A quick search of The Weekly Standard for mentions of current New York Times #1 bestseller Ameritopia by Mark Levin reveals … nothing. The silence speaks volumes.

  • Santorum earned my first contribution this year
    Rick Santorum had a helluva night. I’m a man of my word.

You have to watch spending too. The poorest Americans got back $8.21 for each $1.00 paid in taxes. The middle class got back [...]

  • A Republican debate moderated by actual conservatives?
    If this idea (see #HotAirDebate on Twitter) gets the OK from Romney, Gingrich, & Santorum, I’ll actually be eager to watch a GOP debate for once. Ed Morrissey from Hot Air would be an excellent moderator. If crazy ol’ Ron Paul shows up too, it’ll be must-see TV.

  • Finally, an app for Movable Type blogs (Updated)
    Somebody went to the trouble of creating an iPhone app that allows you to add and edit posts on a blog running Movable Type. It’s called Movable Manager and I’m using it to type this post. It looks extremely bare-bones basic at first blush, but I could be wrong. Frankly, finding it in the App [...]
