My apologies

August 10th, 2010 · 13 Comments

I was supposed to write today, and it may still happen, but I’ll confess, I’m being the mom right now. It’s a great thing, and I haven’t much more time, so perhaps you can be patient. Also, and this is a great bit amazing also, Greg Gutfeld is going to be on Glen Beck in [...]

Yes, I’m advocating a gay bar

August 9th, 2010 · No Comments

Hot Air has a bit about Greg Gutfeld advocating for a gay bar next to the mosque planned near Ground Zero. There’s a fun comment stream for names. Personally, I love the idea of Mecca, but only if the bar is in the line, so to speak. Otherwise I’m fond if the idea of Virgins [...]

I Agree With Maxine Waters

August 4th, 2010 · No Comments

The House Ethics Committee will be investigating Rep. Maxine Waters on charges of ethics violations. She has been under investigation since 2009 for possibly assisting a bank in receiving federal funds in which her husband had a personal interest. My purpose here is not to judge the merits of the charges against her but to [...]

NY Daily News stinks it up

July 21st, 2010 · No Comments

Oh, go quickly. Surely this mistake won’t last. The only good news in the survey for Dems — and you will hear this in continued references to George W. Bush — is that voters stink Obama is the better President, by a margin of 42% to 32%. The poll has other gleanings. Obama’s approval rating [...]

Russ Feingold to Wisconsin: Don’t cry for me

July 15th, 2010 · No Comments

I have $4.3 million dollars to spend on my re-election! Feingold and Ron Johnson have released their numbers in advance of today’s federal filing deadline. Feingold raised $1.4 million in the last quarter. Johnson raised $500,000 in a MONTH. Feingold is taking aim at Johnson’s personal wealth, but I think that’s risky. No Wisconsin voter [...]

Yes, I’m resting on my laurels

July 7th, 2010 · No Comments

Heck, traffic went through the roof the last couple of days, and I figured, “why work for it?” To be honest, I really haven’t come up with anything. Sean Duffy is having Newt Gingrich in to rally his campaign on Friday. If you’re in Wausau, I’m sure Sean would enjoy the company…and the contribution. While [...]

Obama’s General: Why He’s Losing the War

June 28th, 2010 · 2 Comments

That’s on the cover of the Rolling Stone that I just picked out of the mailbox. I’d also argue that’s the real reason Obama tossed McChrystal. (Yes, I’ll admit I missed that prediction.) Obama was being forced to own the general and the war. Obama doesn’t take responsibility for much very gracefully. There’s been a [...]
