CPAC12: We’re So There

by Smitty For bloggers like us, CPAC is the thing that even CINCHOUSE knows we cannot miss. (Sorry about the Herman Cain event tomorrow in Arlington, VA, Stacy). This event could also be called #OccupyMarriottWardmanPark, except that, to paraphrase Ann Coulter, conservatives tend to have jobs, showers, and a point. This trailer makes CPAC look […]

Storm Center: J.D. Gordon Takes Charge as Herman Cain Communications Director

Rejection is painful, and I’m sure that Sarah Palin’s supporters blame themselves for her decision not to run. But don’t blame yourself and don’t blame Sarah — it was all my fault. Mea culpa.

Phrases Without Intellectual Content

by Smitty Williamson at The Corner, emphasis original: Those who talk about the horror of putting profits over people make no sense at all. The phrase is without intellectual content.
