A) They’re Just Bloggers.
B) A Thousand Word Screed’s No Biggie.
C) New Media Is Just Some Fad.

by Smitty Q. Why does the Virginia GOP continue to spurn people like just a conservative girl, to its detriment? So I wasted well over two hours of my time and have no tickets to the debate. When I got back home I sent the following email to the Chairman: I am writing to tell […]

When Liberals Tell the Truth

It’s usually not pretty. Tim Graham at Newbusters catches a DKos diarist telling the truth about what liberals think of babies: “Sasharusha” blogs “back to the whole fetus= parasite thing.
