The John Tierney Scandal: Did Democrat Benefit From His Racketeering In-Laws?

The Massacusetts Democrat’s wife pleaded guilty to tax fraud charges this week, and now questions are being asked about John Tierney’s campaign contributions: US Representative John F. Tierney’s elderly mother-in-law donated $4,800 to his campaign account at the same time that she was receiving money from a bank account that was allegedly funded with illegal […]

Because Today Is My Birthday . . .

. . . I’m up for suggestions on how it should be celebrated. My own suggestion is that you should hit the tip jar, of course. I’m hoping to go to Delaware on Thursday to cover Al Franken’s campaign appearance for Baldy the Tax-Hiking Wanker.  Also, I’d like to go to Richmond for the Virginia […]

One Bright Ray Amid the Gloom

Regular readers are by now aware that (a) my friends got invited to speak at Smart Girl Summit while I did not, and (b) the blog went kablooey today. Things have been going from bad to worse ever since that deer killed my car, and the situation now seems so impossibly hopeless that all I can […]

Have You Called 202-675-6000 Yet?

DOVER, Delaware — Checkout time is noon at the Fairfield Inn here — headquarters for the Christine O’Donnell campaign — and the lobby is fully of campaign staffers, reporters, producers, etc. Christine’s dad just bummed a smoke from me. He’s supposed to be quit, but on such an occasion, his daughter didn’t object to the […]

Christine O’Donnell Victory Interview

DOVER, Delaware — It was after 11 a.m. when I finally got my turn to interview the Republican Cinderella: Unlike in our previous interview, she wouldn’t don the fedora — “No funny hats,” her advisers said — but maybe she’ll agree when we cover her inauguration. (Joe Biden would do the swearing-in.) Meanwhile, do like she […]

Don’t Tell Tabitha Hale . . .

. . . but despite her efforts to exclude me from Blog Con, I managed to find a way down here with Chris Renner. Here are a few photos of Thursday evening’s reception: Important blogger Stephen Kruiser and Amy Miller of Red State. All the BlogCon ladies love Steve Eggleston of No Runny Eggs. BTW, […]

Terrorism on Four Hooves

Victim of the whitetail jihad: This was not an accident. This was a premeditated suicide attack on my 2004 KIA Optima. The Islamicists hate us for our freedom. The deer hate us for our Korean sedans. Although, of course, it was the deer that was K.I.A. (Notice the tufts of fur stuck in the grill.) […]
