Legacy. Governors and Presidents worry, “What will my legacy be?”. It’s a fancy-shmancy way of asking, “What exactly will they say I DID for 8 years?”
Tennessee’s Governor, Phil Bredesen, is no different. Not up for election, and a Lame Duck, it appears he’s started thinking about his. Just before Christmas Bredesen […]

H/T to Gateway Pundit for posting the pic and the story on this. Absolut Vodka ran this ad in Mexico only. However, the US-Mexico border being so porous and there being no one left in Mexico anyway, the ad also promptly made its way north. I very seldom partake of alcohol, and […]

With Poll numbers showing the Democrat led Congress is enjoying the worst approval numbers since I don’t know when, the Democrat’s strategy to combat this perception in the minds of voters would seem to be - more of the same behavior that earned them abysmal ratings originally.
The widely trumpeted mandate for change the Left claims […]

Identify a problem, devise a solution, implement the solution, problem solved. That’s they way you normally think of it going. But if you think it’s always smooth sailing, you’d be wrong. Sometimes when someone tries to accomplish a goal, the very tactics he employs to accomplish it work against him. Thus […]

Earlier this year, when the Dukies were finally cleared of the charges against them, one journalist took a particularly interesting road when describing the media’s meltdown in coverage on the story. James Taranto penned a quick recap in his ‘Best of the Web’ for July 18th, 2007:
Rachel Smolkin of the American Journalism Review, […]

It’s been awhile since I posted one of these. Hat Tip to Spree at Wake Up America.
Seems the Dems have decided that a new tax will be needed to fund the war. Some Democrats in charge of Appropriations are thinking a “war surcharge”
… would spread the sacrifice among all taxpayers by tacking a “war […]

Karl at Leaning Straight Up has an infuriating post up yesterday morning. What’s infuriating is not what Karl said - it’s what he reported on.
Titled ‘San Francisco’s Military Disease Spreads to Oakland’ it chronicles the shabby, disrespectful and outright insulting treatment accorded our troops passing through Oakland’s airport on the way from Iraq to […]

Can you combine Freedom of Speech and pedophilia in the same post and make it work? Most folks would think not, but you’d be wrong.
BadIdeaGuy, one of my favorite bloggers, does just that.

I saw this yesterday afternoon on CNN Headline News. This fall is comparable to falling (or more accurately - jumping) off of a FOUR story building and hitting the pavement! You’d think that’d be pretty fatal. You’d be SO wrong!
Dude gets up a couple of minutes later and walks away. I gotta […]

I grew up just southwest of Chicago so talk of ward politics (of the Democratic variety) was plentiful.

For those not familiar with Chicago politics, that meant everyone voted for the Democrat on the ballot.
