A Couple of Rude People Aren’t the Whole Hall

If you didn’t hear about it last night you’re going to wake to news stories about Republicans at the debate in Florida booing a gay American service man last night. It’s likely that this will be represented as the sentiment of the whole hall, and used by assorted talking heads to smear Republicans, the Tea [...]

Newspaper Guild Was At Rally Where Tabitha Hale Was Attacked

On Wednesday Tabitha Hale was attacked outside of her office at FreedomWorks by union protesters who had gathered to rally in support of the Wisconson public employees. The attacker was part of Communications Workers of America. Instapundit noted that The Newspaper Guild was part of CWA, so the lack of MSM coverage was unsurprising. Looking [...]

Giffords Shooting Gun Q & A

On Saturday someone shot a congresswoman, a federal judge, and several bystanders. The congresswoman is still alive at this time. The judge, a nine year old girl, and four other people are dead. As I mentioned elsewhere, partisans are pointing the finger of blame at each other, but so far it appears the accused shooter [...]

Olympic Conclusion Jumping

Folks on all sides of the political spectrum are doing their best to assign blame to the other side. It’s happening on blogs, on Twitter, and on Facebook. The MSM is getting into the act too. It’s made easier because the videos on the YouTube channel of the accused shooter include rants that are all over the place. This permits people to use his words as a sort of political Rorschach test. As near as I can tell, his political alignment is “crazy.”

CONAD, NORAD, Santa, and Scrooges

I’ve seen a few Facebook and several Twitter posts that sound a great deal like Scrooge. “Christmas! A fine excuse for NORAD to pick the taxpayer’s pocket every 25th of December!” from the childless who have apparently lost their inner child, and a few rueful remarks from parents who are suffering through the throes of their kid clicking Refresh every couple of minutes to see where Santa is RIGHT NOW! But the rueful parents will smile at the memory, as will their kids in later years.

As for the Scrooges: Get over yourselves.

The Left Takes Liberty Pundits’ Bait

As I mentioned last night, there was some flap on Twitter as Melissa Clouthier was accused of being a birther. The charge grew from this post by her partner, Clyde Middleton, and the fact that her Twitter account tweets about each post that appears on Liberty Pundits. But did Clyde really go off the deep [...]

Gainesville FL Tries to Rob a Church

The Dove World Outreach Center, the church that had plans to burn a Koran on 9/11, is a cult that has in the past linked itself to Westboro Baptist Church, although Westboro said nasty things about Dove World after Pastor Terry Jones decided not to burn a Koran after all.  The latest wrinkle in the [...]

NRSC Backs Down on O’Donnell

As I noted in an update to last night’s post, the NRSC was making noises about not supporting Christine O’Donnell despite her win. They seem to have changed their minds. The chairman of the NRSC, Senator John Cornyn, issued a statement today that said in part: “I reached out to Christine this morning, and as [...]

9/11 – A Day That Will Live in Infamy

I was a small boy when JFK was assassinated. The teacher told us the president had been shot, and had been taken to the hospital. We all knew from watching the endless westerns that filled the TV in those days that unless the Good Guy shot the gun out of your hand getting shot meant that [...]
