Tolerance And The Left

A blog called Irregular Times run by a guy named Jim, has had a real hate-on for me for some time now. Jim got really spun up about the letter to the editor tool on GOP.com and the fact that some people used our sample text verbatim, and sent it to newspapers. He

On The Road Again: Alabama

I’ve been hanging out on the Redneck Riviera this week – lovin’ the beach.
One of the benefits of the day job is I get to travel to different states and update our state associations on the latest happenings in Washington. I find it refreshing to get out of DC as often as humanly possible

Where’s Mini-Mitt? In Search Of End-Of-Quarter Dollars

(cross-posted at TechPresident.com)
There’s a lot of buzz in GOP internet circles about the glaring omission from Romney’s site. As we approach the end of the fundraising quarter, we all expected the return of mini-Mitt, the annoying and intrusive pitchman for the Romney campaign’s June finance crush.
With no mini-Mitt to talk about, I thought I’d

Screwing Around In The Margins

The ongoing tinkering with my look and feel continues unabated. I decided to keep the same look, but to expand the margins. I finally determined that my issue with the site was due to my screen resolution. My laptop resolution is ridiculously high. That created a situation where my blog was

A Fundamental Debate: Which Came First, Federalism or Religion?

I have argued for some time now that the Republican Party was coming to a point of conflict between the factions that comprise her.
In one corner we have the libertarian wing – the get government off my back and out of my life crowd. They want nothing more than an exceedingly limited federal government with

New Coke

Ok… I just couldn’t take it anymore… No matter how many times I looked at it, and no matter how many times I tried to force myself to like it, I just couldn’t get used to the new look and feel. It just wasn’t what I wanted.
So we’re back to “Classic Quip”.

All Our Eggs in One Basket

As things look bleaker and bleaker for the GOP’s hopes next year, it’s becoming clear that our chances of holding the line in the Senate (which was already going to be difficult) and the possibility of picking up seats in Congress are both almost completely out the window. The math just isn’t there for

O.J and Oh, Britney. The Week In Celebrity Shame

It’s been a bad week to be sick. With so much celebrity embarrassment on parade, not having the energy to trash them is really troubling.
Let’s set the wayback machine for the VMAs last week. This show had it all – award winners trashing the network that hosts the awards, has-been rockers duking

In Which Our Hero Yacks Up A Lung…

I have spent most of the last two weeks in a steady state of coughing, hacking, wheezing, sneezing, and sniffling with a runny nose, watery eyes, sore throat, fever, chills, and general infirmity. I’d get better for a day or two, and then WHAMMO! I’m back underneath it.
Two things became crystal clear to
