The ‘Shipping Jobs Overseas’ Smear

When I came home from my recent nine-day road trip, I found this piece of mail on the dining room table: So I picked up the telephone, interviewed Neil Parrott and filed my latest American Spectator column: HAGERSTOWN, Maryland — Neil Parrott admits he was “very surprised” to find himself accused of supporting “tax breaks […]

The Point at Which It Was Decided That I Should Probably Let Da Tech Guy Drive

Back home today after a nine-day campaign swing to Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania, which ended with a 46-hour road trip with Pete Da Tech Guy. He rented a car for the trip. Given my hillbilly/NASCAR hereditary prowess at high-speed driving, I drove most of the way. And then, traveling through western New York, we […]

‘A Road Man for the Lords of Karma’

DeWITT, N.Y. — I’m blogging tonight from the home of The Lonely Conservative and her lucky husband, Dave. We just left a meet-and-greet with Ann Marie Buerkle in the village of Clyde.

However, that’s not the headline in the Syracuse Post Standard: Dan Maffei leads Anne Marie Buerkle by 12 points in new poll Why is […]

Boston Postcards

BOSTON — Some photos of the stuff I’ve been covering yesterday and today: You might recognize the guy with the camera. So what’s Ladd Ehlinger Jr. doing in Boston? OK, I can’t tell you exactly what Ladd’s doing here, but in this photo he is talking to Kiera and in maybe a week you’ll know what this is all […]

Axis Of Fedora’s Relentless Blogoversal Onslaught

by Smitty UPDATE: Not sure how to read Belvedere’s cluebats, except to say that I understood the photo he sent was not for publication.  Instead, let me link Pat, who is doubtless more attractive in any case. Da Tech Guy’s infectious headwear calling could not be resisted, and Pat in Shreveport has fallen prey thereto. […]
