In The Mail: My ‘Retire Jim Moran’ Bumper Sticker

by Smitty Even the Instapundit had to have a ‘first swag’ item. Mine came Tuesday, a righteous little piece of bumper goodness: And retire Jim Moran we must. While I’m 99% proud of my country, one legitimate cause for guilt is the way that Progressive tools like Moran have quite literally pillaged the rest of […]

OMG: Did You See What Haley Accuser Will Folks Wrote About Ashley Herzog?

Jesse Hathaway is a friend of a friend. I encouraged Jesse with his blog, Athens Runaway. Jesse went to college with blogger Ashley Herzog, whom I met at CPAC 2008. We’ll let Jesse take the story from there: Folks has… a bad attitude towards women. And that’s understating it. To give an example, he stalked a […]

Deuce Bigalow, Blogger Gigolo: Latest Developments in the Folks-Haley Saga; BUMPED: ‘Dangerous and Unreliable’

* BUMPED 9:15 p.m. ET – SEE UPDATE BELOW * If blogger/consultant/man-whore Will Folks has accomplished nothing else by his boast of an “inappropriate physical relationship” with Nikki Halely, there’s no denying that he has provided a target-rich environment for snark.

Simmons Quits in Connecticut

Bad news for a good guy: Rob Simmons ended his campaign for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate today, comparing a run against Linda McMahon’s money to the futility of Pickett’s Charge during the Civil War. “As somebody interested in military history, it was a foolish waste of people and resources, with a tremendously demoralizing […]

VIDEO: FL-20 Republican Debate; Taxes, Herpes and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz

Javier Manjarres at the Shark Tank got video of this weekend’s debate, but first let me give you some background:  Florida’s 20th District (parts of Broward and Miami-Dade counties, including Fort Lauderdale) has been controlled by Democrats since the district was created following the 1990 Census. In 2004, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was elected with 70 percent of the vote. One of […]

Not News: Economy Still Sucks

A commenter on an American Spectator post earlier today made a weird statement: The economy, boosted by falling energy prices, a weak Euro, and record low interest rates and tons of liquidity is finally showing signs of life. Excuse me, but “record low interest rates and tons of liquidity” isn’t good news. The Fed is pumping currency […]
