‘Recovery Summer’ Sure To Go Viral

by Smitty (via Insty) It just kept building, and the final graphic and background clip had me in a full-on guffaw: Would that the context wasn’t so serious.

Meet Team Joe

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Yesterday I dropped by the Joe Miller campaign office, where the staff was busy gearing up for the Nov. 2 general election. Two top members of Team Joe took time to talk: Continuing a theme we started yesterday, let’s take a look at the front page of this morning’s local paper: Notice […]

Delaware Castle Under Siege

by Smitty Via the ever-detailed Swing State Project, a lefty blog that gives good detail, Hotline On Call reports of Mike Castle: The Republican has purchased $113K worth of airtime before the primary. Castle is facing off against Christine O’Donnell on Sept. 14 in the GOP primary for Delaware’s open Senate seat. . . . […]

However, I can say no more about the behind-the-scenes maneuvering, as what happens at the Moose’s Tooth Pub stays at the Moose’s Tooth Pub: Anchorage talk-radio legend […]

Paco Enterprises Takes Us All To Task

by Smitty Paco eloquently makes the argument that BHO is our common cross: Permit me to anticipate a complaint: “Hold the phone, there, amigo! I didn’t vote for him! What do I have to repent of?” Let us be rigorously fair in the matter: we are all to blame. Who among us doesn’t have a […]

Just Got Off The Phone With Stacy McCain

by Smitty Stacy is set to appear on Libertarian Politics Live at 2150 Eastern, which is 9:50 PM for you anachronistic types. I don’t know if his planned trip to Wasilla will come up, but, pending distraction by some shiny object, that’s his stated intention. I was at the Murray For Congress campaign headquarters event […]
