‘Neal Sounded Weird’ — Did Rauhauser Interfere in a Texas Harassment Case?

Becca J. Lower has transcribed a BlogTalk Radio interview that Heather Chase did with Lee Stranahan. The backstory of the situation involved is convoluted in the extreme, and requires this brief explanation: In June, it was revealed that one of the leaders of an anti-Rush Limbaugh boycott (Matt “Shoq” Edelstein) had claimed connections to top Obama re-election officials during a conference […]

An Hour With Sandra Fluke

by Smitty Had I an hour with Sandra Fluke, I’d read to her from the Gospel of Luke, To watch the jeering Jezebel puke, And take some bets on the time it took, Though such mark me a Christian crook. These days we all need a little book, As the economy has us down on […]

John Willis, R.I.P.

The Rome (Ga.) News-Tribune reports that my former colleague and good friend John Willis has died of a heart attack at age 63, quoting publisher Otis Raybon, “John was a mentor for many young and upcoming journalists and will be missed by  many.” When I first met John in the late 1980s, I was sports […]

Naked Protesters: Unattractive People Demand Action to Protect Boondoggle

On the other hand, it’s hard to see the logic of sending out a bunch of ugly freaks to harass John Boehner about […]

Benghazi Tragedy Lives On As Farce

by Smitty Vadum offers an excellent summary of the news to date: A Washington Post editorial supports the left-wing Congressional Black Caucus’s wild contention that Republicans are out to get Rice “because she is an African American woman.” Perhaps the editorial writers forgot that President George W. Bush’s secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, an immensely […]

U.S. Senator Erick Erickson?

by Smitty I do like the cut of his jib. Seriously, patriots: if you thought unwinding a century of Progressive drift was going to be easy, re-calibrate. We’ve barely gotten into the Sinai, and the deadweight wants to get back to the government handouts in exchange for pyramid work. Stand by for two generations to […]

Not Sure About @rsmccain Whereabouts

by Smitty I had a good day at work, nerding about on this and that. The last week has been all about a fiction project of mine, as I’ve been re-writing a 30k word draft. 1/3 through my draft chapters, I’m up to 22k words, and liking my characters/plot even more. So there’s that. Meanwhile, […]
