One Thousand Miles to Drive

Rick Santorum will be in Mandeville, Louisiana, at 12:30 p.m. CDT Wednesday, and that’s more than a thousand miles from here. Google Maps says it’s an 17-hour drive, so if I left Tuesday evening and drove straight through, I’d arrive in time: Exhausted beyond words, yes, but in time. This would be completely crazy, but […]

Santorum’s Sunday Schedule Includes Appearances on ABC and CNN

Was Rick Santorum exaggerating when he accused Fox News of having a pro-Romney bias? We report, you decide: The “fair and balanced” network doesn’t have him scheduled for any interviews today. Santorum will appear on two other Sunday shows on ABC and CNN, while campaigning today in Louisiana before going to Illinois for a series […]

MISSOURI GONE WILD: Caucuses Disrupted by Ron Paul Supporters

Libertarians or anarchists? The NY Times reports, you decide: ST. PETERS, Mo. — Voters here in St. Charles County may not get a say in who will be the next Republican presidential nominee after a disorderly caucus on Saturday caused organizers to adjourn before delegates were selected.

His Newtness and His 176,000 Donors

It’s Friday night and the Missouri caucuses are Saturday. Newt Gingrich isn’t even on the ballot in Missouri, which will award 52 delegates.

by Smitty Tina Korbe at HotAir on Rick Perry: Incidentally, this is one of the things I most respect about Rick Perry: He is willing to forgo federal funds, recognizing that federal dollars always come with strings attached. In the chronic case, are not the 57 states the horse, and the federal government the cart? […]

Did Somebody Hear a Dog Whistle?

Far be it from me to go around willy-nilly accusing people of anti-Italian prejudice, just because they don’t support Rick Santorum for President, as all intelligent, honest and courageous people must. It would be an unfair accusation to imply that Santorum’s critics are prejudiced against Italians, you see, so long as we acknowledge the obvious possibility […]

Two Reasons VP Rand Paul Isn’t A Bad Idea

by Smitty Bill Quick floats an intriguing question: So, tell me….would putting Rand Paul on his ticket as Veep make Mittens Romneycare more attractive to you? Why? As a preliminary note, The Catholic Bandita was attacked rather heavily by Ron/Rand supporters. I hope we can all get along better going down the road, and she […]

Why Do You Hate Italians?

She’s an Italian actress named Alessandra Mastronardi, and if you needed a reminder to read Bob Belvedere’s Camp of the Saints . . . Well, certainly she did the trick, eh? And speaking of Italians . . . Mr. Santorum issued a statement that said, in part, “As the son of an Italian immigrant myself, […]
