No Second Choice

January 21, 2008

With Fred Thompson placing a distant third in the South Carolina primary, it’s a good bet that the man who was the only viable conservative in the race will drop out tomorrow. Even if Thompson decides to stay in the race, his chances of winning the nomination are even lower than they were before [...]

Worldwide Market Panic

January 21, 2008

American economic woes drove world markets down considerably today, making today the worst worldwide market plunge since 9/11! 
They’re even calling it “Black Monday” in London, as the FTSE (“footsie” as they say), lost 5.5% before recovering to a 4.3% loss by day’s end.  London markets haven’t had a worse January since 1936.  The drop is being [...]

It’s Official: Pats v. Giants in Super Bowl XLII

January 20, 2008

The NFL’s two Conference Championship games were held today and as usual, the one that the Pats weren’t playing in was more exciting.
The first contest pitted the San Diego Chargers against the New England Patriots.  Though a pretty sloppy game, the Pats won 21-12 to be the first team in NFL history to go 18-0 in one [...]

South Carolina and Nevada: the Day After

January 20, 2008

What happened yesterday?
First, Nevada. 
She Who Must Not Be Named defeated O’Bama 51-45% in what was expected to be a slim O’Bama victory.  This is the second state where they predicted an O’Bama win, but SWMNBN won nonetheless.  I wonder how much of that is the MSM playing games and misinterpreting data.  To be wrong [...]

South Carolina Preview

January 19, 2008

One thing I love about living through history is that occasionally we get surprises.  Every four years in South Carolina, we predictably get “dirty” tactics, push-polls, hysteria over the Confederate Flag, etc.  I am certainly hoping for a new surprise to come out of South Carolina:
–I hope that if the winner is John McCain (who many polls indicate [...]

Bush’s Stimulus Woes

January 18, 2008

In order to hold off a potential recession, President Bush is looking to work with Democrats (not that “new tone” crap again!) in order to get a quick stimulus package together in time to save the day.  One suggestion is a 1%/GDP ($145 billion) injection from the government to the consumer in the form of a [...]

Cheesy 1980s Star Wars Flashback

January 17, 2008

Ryan’s going to love this one and I’m sure those of you who were born in the 1970s will as well. Call it stupid, call it a timesuck, call it whatever you want. I call it hella sweet.

Debates Matter

January 17, 2008

A few months ago, it might be a year ago now who knows?, I had a discussion with a close friend of mine about one of the many primary debates scheduled for that night.  My friend did not watch that debate because of a belief that they really didn’t matter.  I knew then it wasn’t [...]

ZipperGate Plus 10

January 17, 2008

It was ten years ago today that Matt Drudge became the first independent Internet journalist to break a major news story before the MSM online.  That story was about a 23 year old intern named Monica Lewinsky having a sordid affair with President Bill Clinton in the Oval Office.  Michael Isikoff, Newsweek and the Washington Post [...]

Randy Moss in the Crosshairs

January 16, 2008

Famed New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss has an “order of protection“ slapped against him from an alleged altercation with a woman in Florida on January 6.  Moss is set to go to court on January 28, which happens to be the Monday before the Super Bowl if the Pats win this weekend at home [...]

Democrats Reap The Political Correctness They Sowed

January 15, 2008

Every time there is a Republican primary, the media recycles the same story about how the Republican Party is divided beyond belief when in fact, it is the Democrats who have more of a problem. This year, the Democrats have an even bigger problem on their hands because both of their frontrunners are now [...]

Ron Fournier’s Waterworks

January 15, 2008

It is no secret that I consider Fred Thompson to be head and shoulders above the rest of the Republican field. It is also no secret that although Mitt Romney is my distant second choice, I have serious reservations about the timing of political conversions (which are not as numerous as liberals claim, but [...]

Michigan Primary Preview Poem

January 15, 2008

On the Republican side it’s Mitt v. McCain 
On the Democrat side it’s only She Who Must Not Be Named.
It’s being spun as a must-win for Mitt,
While the Dems persist in throwing a fit,
For their delegates don’t count for scheduling too early–
Too bad, I like watching the Dems get surly.

What to do with McCain

January 14, 2008

According to Real Clear Politics, John McCain is surging in the national polls– nearly 26 points this last month!  In fact, the national media has embraced it’s inner McCainiac as far as the Republican side is concerned (they are still under the Imperius Curse and will jump on their swords for She Who Must Not be Named [...]

Anyone Have Some Holy Water?

January 13, 2008

She Who Must Not Be Named campaigned in a church today, causing some bystanders to believe they witnessed a miracle after they saw no lightning.
At this point in the campaign, the media sees nothing wrong with campaigning in a church. I expect they will apply the same standard the next time Fred Thompson, Mitt [...]

Huckabee Presents False Choice

January 13, 2008

Mike Huckabee’s recent comments that social conservatives are unwelcome to lead the Republican Party is quite perplexing. Since 1980, Republican voters have demanded that any candidate wishing to be President of the United States must also support the right of every child to be born. In fact, the Republican Party is so welcoming [...]

Sindey Blumenthal: DWI

January 13, 2008

Remember this guy?  Sidney Blumenthal was one of those Clinton hacks that we hoped we’d never have to see again.  His m.o. was to immediately dig up dirt on any Clinton accuser in order to deflect the core issue.  Quite sleazy.  Now he’s an adviser to She Who Must Not Be Named’s run for the White House [...]

Happy Birthday Rush!

January 12, 2008

With talent on loan from “Goh-da”, the mighty Rush Limbaugh, the man who reinvigorated the talk-radio medium with the most listened-to nationally syndicated AM talk show and creator of the verve behind the alternative media, turns 57 today.
Happy Birthday, Rush!  Photo from the official website, linked above.

Bush Visits the Troops

January 12, 2008

Here’s a progress report which I occasionally to give on the Iraq War and the situation in the Mideast.  The MSM doesn’t tend to cover the good news, as it helps Republicans, and the Administration barely does so either.  So…
President Bush gave a pep talk to the troops today in Kuwait as part of his Middle East tour this [...]

Snow in Baghdad

January 11, 2008

It snowed in Baghdad this morning. 
SNOWED… IN… BAGHDAD…
Having once been stationed in Taji, just north of Baghdad, my brother can vouch for the complete ridiculousness of that statement.  However it is true.  They haven’t seen snow in Baghdad for at least sixty years and woke up to a pleasant surprise that quickly melted away!
Global warming nuts here in [...]

Fred Thompson Wins Republican Debate in South Carolina

January 10, 2008

Fred Thompson was the big winner in tonight’s Republican debate on Fox News and it wasn’t even close. He was authoritative, passionate, and articulate. More importantly, he reiterated the fact that he is most consistent conservative in the race. He supports lower taxes, limited government, the War on Terror, cracking down on [...]

Lurching Towards O’Bama

January 10, 2008

John “F’in” Kerry (affectionately known as ”Lurch”) has decided to weigh in on the 2008 Democrat nomination and he’s fallen in love with the big “O.”  By doing so Kerry is publicly snubbing his 2004 running mate, the Breck Girl himself, John Edwards. 
What happened to the love, John Kerry?

Remember these days?
Alas, on to a new love:

…slut.

Richardson Calls It Quits

January 9, 2008

Late news Wednesday that New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson has dropped out of the 2008 race for the Democrat nomination.  He was the only mid-to-top tier candidate that the Dems had with any real foreign policy experience, or any executive experience to speak of. Carter, Reagan, BJ and Dubya were all governors, while Bush 41 was [...]

Delegate Snapshot

January 9, 2008

To my surprise, there are already 71 Republican delegates that have been pledged. 
Also, to my surprise Romney thus far has the most: 30 to Huckleberry’s 21 to McCain’s 10.  I know it’s early, but as a Romney fan, I need something!
However, there are some contradictory numbers out there that put Huckleberry at 31, Romney at [...]

John McCain Defeats Mitt Romney in New Hampshire

January 8, 2008

John McCain has won his second consecutive New Hampshire primary, comfortably defeating Mitt Romney. As a result, some in the media are now rushing to call McCain the Republican frontrunner. Poppycock. The GOP has no frontrunner, but the dynamics of the race have indeed changed.
Our party had a frontrunner at one time, [...]

She Who Must Not Be Named Wins New Hampshire Primary

January 8, 2008

Iowa may have postponed the Democrat coronation, but New Hampshire just rescheduled it. She Who Must Not Be Named has defeated Barack Obama in the New Hampshire primary, breathing new life into her campaign and increasing Republican chances for victory in November. Prepare yourself for some barferrific media coverage for days to [...]

Danger in the Straits of Hormuz

January 8, 2008

With the New Hampshire frenzy, I couldn’t let this one go. 
Five Iranian “fastboats” approached 3 US warships near the Straits of Hormuz, the international waters that connect the Persian Gulf with the Arabian Sea.  The provocation was blatant, deliberate and, looking at this more closely, simply weird.  Though our navy was on the verge of firing, the [...]

Watching Dixville Notch

January 7, 2008

With a town population about the size of a nightly MBNBC audience, Dixville Notch, New Hampshire is a place where the entire town votes at midnight. This allows them to report their results shortly after midnight, making them the first piece of real news from the New Hampshire primary. I always look forward [...]

Weepy in New Hampshire

January 7, 2008

This is too easy.
She Who Must Not Be Named choked up after taking a question from an obvious New Hampshire shill (and free-lance photographer by the way) aware of the other cameras who asked, “How do you keep so upbeat and wonderful?” 
Choking up for God’s sake! 
I don’t know where to begin:  the ridiculousness of the question, the poor attempt at [...]

Mitt Romney Wins Final New Hampshire Debate

January 6, 2008

When offering my thoughts on primary debates, I usually characterize one or two candidates as winners, one or two candidates or losers, identify those who were more so-so, and reminisce about my favorite moments. Tonight, I will actually rank the candidates’ performances because I think it was that clear-cut. For the sake of [...]
