Jack Abramoff’s Ghost!

Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit links this ABC News item:  With the support of Sen. Chris Dodd, D.-Conn., the federal government has awarded $54 million to Connecticut’s politically well-connected Mohegan Indian tribe, which operates one of the highest grossing casinos in the U.S. The tribe runs the sprawling Mohegan Sun casino, halfway between New York […]

Tugging on Superman’s Cape

Guess who decided to pick a fight with Mark Steyn? I don’t often respond to Conor Friedersdorf, usually because it would require me to read him . . .

Dana Loesch in Playboy?

Oh, don’t you wish, you creep. The teaser from Instapundit was effective, however, and Dana explains: I can’t wait to tell my Baptist mother that her daughter is in Playboy. This month’s issue of Playboy features an interesting article on the tea party movement and in particular, focuses on a particular group of activists, myself […]

New Alabama Ad: Who Is Dale Peterson Endorsing in the July 13 Runoff?

UPDATE: On his own campaign Web site, Peterson makes his endorsement of John McMillan. UPDATE II: Having been the first to post this video (6:04 a.m. ET), it’s kind of annoying to see Ben Smith getting the linkage for a post he did five hours later.
