Ron Klein: ‘No Mas! No Mas!’

Hey, remember a couple of months ago when liberals were claiming that “radical Tea Party extremist” Allen West was going to be really vulnerable when he seeks re-election in 2012? You didn’t actually believe that, did you? Former Rep. Ron Klein (D-Fla.) said Wednesday he is not going to run next year for the seat […]

Never Take Advice from Your Enemies

For example, Harry Reid: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday urged Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to ditch members of the Tea Party and cut a deal with Democrats to avert a government shutdown. Reid insisted it is those GOP internal divisions that are threatening to shut down the government after April 8, in […]

Herman Cain Refuses to Be Intimidated by Political Correctness

When Think Progress accuses him of “bigotry,” you know that’s got to help him in the GOP primaries: There is this creeping attempt, there is this attempt to gradually ease Sharia law and the Muslim faith into our government.

He’s Herman Cain …

. . . and he approved this message: Notice the reference to “Ellen” — that’s Ellen Carmichael, Cain’s communications director. She’s often told me how much she enjoys working for him because he’s so optimistic and cheerful. Here you see him talking about growing up during segregation, without any hint of bitterness or resentment. Heck, […]

This Is Probably Not the Onset of an Incurable Terminal Illness, But …

. . . you never know. By the time you read this, I might be pushing up the daisies, shuffling off this mortal coil, pining for the fjords. My plan, however, is to be deep into the merciful bliss of a Nyquil-induced sleep. So let’s hope it is only a late-winter head cold that has put […]
