On the Road Again

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — It’s time for me to hit the road back to Vegas and then fly back home, but not before I introduce you briefly to Vernon Parker, candidate for Congress in Arizona’s 3rd District.

Tea Party Express III: Fear and Loathing — and Ann Coulter! — in Las Vegas

BUMPED & UPDATED! SUNDAY MARCH 28: We were linked by Her Blondeness yesterday.

Tea Party With Sarah Palin: Scenes from the Showdown in Searchlight, Nev.

Word. Sarah Palin speaks! Notice the flags fluttering furiously. It was incredibly windy Saturday.

Fear and Loathing, Et Cetera

Yes, I’m here in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, home base for my coverage of the kickoff of the Tea Party Express III tour, among other things. Fortuitously, I arrived on the birthday of Minority Report blogger Steve Foley, and his birthday was celebrated in appropriate fashion. IYKWIMAITYD. Even more fortuitously, when JSF of Valley of the Shadow […]

Law Enforcement Prepares for Massive Tea Party Crowd Saturday in Nevada

Did the news that I’m coming out West provoke this frenzy? Whenever hundreds of vehicles and dozens of buses unload passengers in a town with fewer than 1,000 people, traffic is bound to be a problem. It’s magnified when few roads lead into town. Welcome to the Tea Party Express stop in Searchlight. The strategy […]
