#OccupyFail at #BlogCon11: What Fun!

For the second consecutive year, Tabitha Hale didn’t think I was important enough to be invited to participate on a panel at BlogCon. Or maybe Tabitha just hates my guts. Either way, she subsequently offered me a “scholarship” to attend BlogCon, a consolation prize I was too proud to accept. Pity is no substitute for respect, and if […]

Crowder: ‘They Hate Capitalism. But They Love Weed‘

by Smitty Steven Crowder is slightly more serious in his Fox News contributor role. Here, he is trying to point out that opposition to Wall Street fat cats is a point of common ground between Tea Parties and #OWS. The fact Crowder brings up about union contributions over time is new to me. Have we […]

by Smitty Jason Kenney at Bearing Drift reports that canvassing is done in Spotsylvania for the 17th Senatorial District, with a 226 vote margin for the GOP hopeful.
