All right, I’m going to apologize in advance. Because although the YouTube video below made me laugh so hard I cried, and though it also has something in it for both sides of the political spectrum, it has some bad words in it — one F, an S and a GD — and some other […]

I’m taking in the Republican convention and Fred Thompson is giving a speech. Just a minute ago, he echoed my thoughts on Sarah Palin.
She is a courageous, successful, reformer, who is not afraid to take on the establishment. She has run a municipality and she has run a state. And I can say without fear […]

I can’t say how totally pleased I’ve been since Saturday hearing that McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. She’s an absolutely fabulous pick, and I think it’s just hysterical how much the Democrats don’t get that. Heck, there were Republicans who didn’t get it, apparently, judging from the pressure McCain was getting from […]

What is it that makes politicians reach for the Tent Revival rhetoric to make a point? Everyone went nuts when they found out that Huckabee said in 1998 that he wanted to “take back America for Christ”, and now Michelle Obama is telling us that electing her husband to office will “fix our souls”.
Sooo … […]

Happened to check out Hugh Hewitt’s blog – which I usually like — and felt like he was shaking his finger in my face.
I was a guest on the Fox News Channel this afternoon. The subject was whether or not the new movie about the Mountain Meadows Massacre of 1857 would be a problem […]

Found myself kind of annoyed with this story.
Focus on the Family founder James Dobson appeared to throw cold water on a possible presidential bid by former Sen. Fred Thompson while praising former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who is also weighing a presidential run, in a phone interview Tuesday.
“Everyone knows he’s conservative and has come out […]

Who in the world told Hillary Clinton that it would be a good idea for her to attempt an “old folks at home” drawl when speaking at a church in Selma, Alabama? Especially if she wasn’t prepared for one instant to part with her honking, stentorian monotone.
Here’s a LINK if you haven’t already heard it. […]

Another political entry coming up. I’m trying to cut back, but then I happened on this article by Dennis Prager this morning, and it was too good not to pass along:

Of all the myths that surround Left-Right differences, one of the greatest is that the Left values liberty more than the Right. Regarding a small […]

(I actually had a request to talk about politics on the blog, so I’ll give that some focus. If you don’t like that sort of thing, talk amongst yourselves for a while.)
I think everyone knows what “snafu” stands for, right? The PG-13 version is “Situation Normal: All Fouled Up”. Why couldn’t the president just […]

The e-mail I get from the Wall St. Journal opinion analysts had some points about the election similar to mine, except, y’know, better and less crass. (Show-offs!) I promise to get off the political stuff for a while after this, but here is a list from James Taranto of what was good about yesterday’s results:
