A tectonic shift
Bill Whittle (bold emphasis added): Sarah Palin is the anti-Obama: not a victim, not a poser, not riding a wave but rather swimming upstream -- and most of all, not having run for president her entire life. She is the first politician I have ever ...

McCain "workmanlike"
Last night, Sarah Palin brought me to my feet. Tonight, I stayed planted in my comfy chair. I've heard McCain's speech described as "workmanlike" several times already, and I suspect that will be the consensus assessment. It emph...

Palin hit it out of the park
Wow. Just wow. Last week, I was impressed by Barack Obama's speech. He's a fine orator and it was elegant rhetoric. Tonight, I was blown away by Sarah Palin. No, she wasn't an elegant orator. She was something better. She was poised, ...

Wrong versus evil
So I'm sitting here enjoying an adult beverage and watching the talking heads analyze tonight's RNC speeches on Fox News, and some liberal talking head says that it's ironic that Lieberman, whom Republicans were so adamantly opposed to...

Fred Thompson's speech
Long-time readers may recall that I'm a Fred Thompson fan, and I was looking forward to hearing his RNC speech tonight. It took a bit of looking to find a broadcast. The local PBS station carried it live. During applause breaks, I channel-flip...

Take a stand against tax hikers
The National Taxpayers Union has a deal for you: take their pledge to not vote for tax hikers, and they'll send you a free bumper sticker declaring where you stand on taxes. That's it on the left. I can't wait to get mine. How about you? Click ...

Those of you who pay attention to my TTLB Ecosystem ranking (see right sidebar) may be wondering how I went from a Large Mammal to a Wiggly Worm in such short order. Well, the ecosystem rankings have gone all to hell. The top rankings are current...

LGF outs anti-Palin smear site

Palin sounds like a great pick
McCain isn't called a maverick for nothing, and he's not averse to taking chances. Gov. Sarah Palin is a daring, but risky choice. Her name recognition must be in the single digits, and an Alaska politician doesn't bring a lot of elect...

Hillary
No, I didn't watch the speech. But I read Stephen Green's drunkblogging of it. I'm pretty certain that was the right decision. Especially after seeing a picture of her in that orange pants-suit. As Green put it, "With those hips ...

Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash 5000
I've got good news and bad news about Thursday night's Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash, the Donkeys Over Denver edition. First, the bad news: It's too late to RSVP -- and that means no two free drinks. Now the good news: Anyone and everyon...

Ron Paul endorsed porkmeister Young
Ron Paul turned me off some time ago, but it wasn't because of economic or fiscal issues. On those, I thought he was solid. So I'm more than a little surprised and quite disappointed that he's pimping votes for one of the GOP's ...

Baldilocks vs. Obama
Baldilocks has been in my blogroll since early in the history of this blog. I followed a link to a post of hers, liked it, and kept reading. I haven't dropped by lately (there are just too many good blogs to keep up with), which is a shame. ...

Boxer tries to stop Coburn from delivering babies for free
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) has long been a taxpayer hero and a thorn in the side of the porkmeisters and spendthrifts. Along with Sens. Jim DeMint (R-SC) and Richard Burr (R-NC), he received a 100% score on the Club for Growth's 2007 Senate RePORK...

Rep. Don Young of Alaska is one of the House's chief porkmeisters and the poster child for why the Republican Party is no longer trusted as the party of fiscal responsibility. Along with the now-indicted Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, Young pushed ...
