Crazed Ewok Endorses Hard-to-Spell GOP Candidate in Minnesota 8th District; Cravaack Considers Restraining Order

Chip Cravaack isn’t a name that rolls easily from the tongue, but after Ed Morrissey highlighted a poll showing the Navy-pilot Republican challenger surprisingly close to Democrat Rep. Jim Oberstar, Ace of Spades jumped aboard in his inimitable way. Check this guy out: What Ace is doing — what I’ve been doing, and what we all should […]

How Rich Republican Insiders Help Destroy the Party’s Grassroots Enthusiasm

Anyone who’s ever had much dealing with the Republican Party establishment nods in recognition when Rush Limbaugh talks about “bluebloods” and “country clubbers” as the bane of the GOP. Limbaugh himself is, of course, a wealthy man. However, Rush’s wealth is self-made, whereas the “bluebloods” to whom he refers are those who inherited (or married) money, and the […]

Attagirl, Michelle! Malkin Endorses Tancredo for Colorado Governor

A thing of beauty is a joy forever: The GOP gubernatorial candidate in Colorado, Dan Maes, is now in full meltdown mode. . . .

Does Daniel Hannan Support Stimulus Projects?

by Smitty Cubachi posted a Cato speech, 25 minutes of Hannan from 29 September, 2010, as he visits the Colonies in conjunction with the publication of The New Road to Serfdom, which, despite all initial title appearances, does not describe a shovel-ready Obama Administration project.
