Sarah Palin was on the Tonight Show last night and spent quite a bit of time on the couch talking with Jay Leno about everything from politics to the Olympics to her family. She even took a stab at stand up comedy. My favorite line of the night was her response to Jay asking if [...]

Today is Ronald Reagan’s 99th birthday.  He was one of this country’s greatest leaders because he understood what made America great. But we have to keep in mind that we would have never had Reagan as president without Carter’s disastrous presidency. And now because of Obama’s Carteresque policies, we are seeing a resurgence of a [...]

Seriously. He won the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel Prize committee says they bestowed this honor on him because he has spread hope around the world. That’s all the justification the committee has to offer. He has given the world hope. Never mind the fact that he hasn’t accomplished anything that has caused peace to [...]

Tom DeLay tripped the light fantastic on Dancing with the Stars tonight.  He shook his booty, literally, and had an all around great time.  I’m sure many people who are familiar with DeLay’s reputation in Washington had a number of preconceived ideas of how he’d do.

The probing questions came from two skeptical neurologists [...]

Unfortunately, she’s also these folks’  US representative and they’re finding they are powerless to get her to do something. We may be entering a very frightening era of our country’s history when government officials feel they are unaccountable to anyone, even their neighbors:
John Bailey thought it was great when his neighbor was elected to the [...]

The Other McCain posted a video of a 12 year old girl giving a speech about abortion. Her arguments are impressive. They are well researched and well reasoned. But is it appropriate for a 12 year old to make such controversial arguments publicly? Dr. Melissa Couthier isn’t so sure because, she argues, it borders on [...]

The House GOP stood their ground and voted against the non-stimulus monstrocity. Every single one. More tomorrow. I arrived in Vegas tonight and now I’m heading out for drinks.

Barack Obama thinks he’s worth $160 million. That’s how much he’s spending on his inauguration. To put this number in perspective, it’s 4 times the amount spent on President Bush’s 2004 inauguration. Granted, Bush’s numbers don’t include money spent on security, but his security certainly wouldn’t have come close to what Obama is spending [...]
