  • Tempest in a Teapot?

    Anti-BVBL

    Saturday, July 4 will be another day of Tea Parties held all across the United States.  Many of us are still trying to figure out what the Tea Parties are all about.  Originally, I thought that they were about taxes.  TEA did stand for ‘Taxed Enough Already.” That seems reasonable.  [...]

  • If Palin Can, So Can Sanford

    Fake Virginia

    What is it with these Republican Governors? Today, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin decided that, we won’t have Palin to kick around anymore. In a bizarre news conference, she announced that she would not be running for re-election as Governor and she will resign in three weeks on July 26 at the Governor’s picnic. [...]

  • Palin's revenge

    Fishersville Mike

    How many politicians and mainstream media members are having their holiday vacations messed up by the Palin announcement?
    All those editorial pages across the country, with Saturday, Sunday and Monday already done. Are they going to tear up the work and insert something newsworthy?
    Nobody can appear on TV - [...]

  • Senator Palin? Palin-Pawlenty?

    United Conservatives

    Sarah Palin is now in a position to do more for the conservative base of the Republican Party than she ever could as a sitting governor.

    A no-nonsense no-bullshit Blue Star mom with energy and national security credentials. A free-agent who can speak to America and Americans on our [...]

  • A Real Lee Brother!

    The Lee Brothers Blog

    I can’t believe that I didn’t think of this!  Family Foundation’s blog  just posted a great clip of the musical “1776″.   Here is what they said: One of the great movies of all time is the musical 1776. Fictional as some elements are (what true story does not get Hollywoodized?) it [...]

  • McDonnell campaign fires up

    Clem's Politics

    GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell has issued a bold challenge to his Democratic rival Creigh Deeds: participate in a series of ten debates all across Virginia. It is an unprecedented idea, and will keep the Democrats under pressure to defend their agenda in a setting where reasonable discourse -- rather [...]

    Number of comments: 2
    Thus screamed the 2 1/2 inch high front page headline in Friday’s Virginian-Pilot. The accompanying article laid out how a simple malfunction created chaos for Hampton Roads drivers. A severe electrical and rain storm rolled across the bridge-tunnel Wednesday night, causing power outages and power surges. Apparently the power issues damaged [...]

  • Williams: 'I was wrong'

    SLANTblog

    Columnists routinely remind their readers of when they were right. Sometimes they come right out and say, "I told you so." Other times they disguise their reminders by draping them with clever phrases, turned just so.

    When a columnist says "I was wrong," it is unusual, but that's exactly [...]

  • AFP Update on Cap and Trade

    United Conservatives

    Last week we had an unbelievably tight, down-to-the-wire fight in the U.S. House of Representatives over the massive Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade energy tax bill, the largest tax hike in American history and an unprecedented intrusion of the federal government into our economy and our lives.


    Thank you so much for everything [...]

  • SCOTUS changes the game

    Vivian J. Paige

    Number of comments: 4
    Monday’s Ricci ruling has been hailed and scorned throughout the press this week. Many of the articles have focused on the fact that a 3-member appellate panel which included Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor had been overturned. One of the best articles I’ve read on the topic, though, comes from Linda [...]

  • Wait, Who Are The Elitists Again?

    Green Miles

    The Green Miles is in Providence for the Fourth of July. I just heard Dick Armey's FreedomWorks organization is holding another round of teabagging this weekend.

    The closest event? Nantucket. Nothing in Rhode Island or southeastern Massachusetts at all. To see the protest, I'd have to take a' [...]
