FreedomWorks On SSPICE FTW!

by Smitty The GOP needs to be pushing common-sense approaches like SSPICE. Follow that link. FW provides a very easy interface to research you Congresscritter’s phone number and give them a call. I had blogged the SSPICE conference call a couple of weeks back, to a chorus of crickets. While I think that the Social […]

Gunny Ermey Triggers The Vote

by Smitty The Second Amendment, and, by extension, Western Civilization, is at stake: Trigger the Vote did a fine job here.

Santorum Conquers the World?

When I wrote about “Santorum’s Second Surge” Monday, there were not yet any poll numbers available to substantiate my perception that he had scored a critical breakthrough with last Tuesday’s hat-trick triple win over Mitt Romney. Now, as Tina Korbe says, “Good news just keeps coming for former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum” — and not merely because […]

Obscure Musical Allusion Blog Post Title Sweepstakes: Joy Division, for the Win!

“It’s like being assigned to cover a psychotic breakdown, so that the challenge as a journalist is to report accurately all the paranoid gibberish, the bizarre hallucinations and delusions of grandeur.” — Robert Stacy McCain, Jan. 11, 2012 “But there is no point in haggling any longer with this.
