CPAC Day 3: Everybody Write-In Your Straw-Poll Favorite: Ann Coulter; UPDATE: Rejecting My Advice, CPAC Attendees Vote for Ron Paul, Mitt Romney

They saved the best for the final day of CPAC: Ann Coulter followed by Allen West. UPDATE: Awesome! Security at CPAC recognized me when I rolled down to the front row to get a picture.

CPAC Day 3: ‘Flu-Like Symptoms’

Skye at Midnight Blue describes herself as experiencing “flu-like symptoms” which can only mean she’s contracted the dreaded CPAC Fever. This disease is caused by a rare virus known as schmooze and is spread through the promiscuous exchange of business cards.

Rep. Michelle Bachmann was surrounded by autograph-seeking admirers Friday afternoon in the lobby of the Wardman Park Marriott in one of those spontaneous scrums that occur when GOP celebrities show up at the Conservative Political Action Conference.  There is an interesting story behind how I ended up in the midst of the Bachmann scrum.

Buerkle in the Crosshairs

Ann Marie Buerkle is one of 19 GOP House members targeted by a new Democrat attack ad. Wait a minute: Didn’t we just get lectured that it was inflammatory and irresponsible to use violence-inspiring terms like “target” about members of Congress? Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters: I guess it’s okay to do this 23 days after […]

In Case You Didn’t Notice, ObamaCare Is Both Unconstitutional and Un-American

This falls under the category of “Not Exactly News,” although it’s good to have a federal judge say so: A second federal judge ruled on Monday that it was unconstitutional for Congress to enact a health care law that requires Americans to obtain commercial insurance, evening the score at two-to-two in the lower courts as […]
