Daniel Hannan CPAC12 AECR European Debt Crisis Panel Introduction

by Smitty I didn’t see any other cameras in the Tyler room for the European Debt Crisis panel. This may be an exclusive. The battery was spent after Daniel, so his intro was all I could capture. My argument is that if the British don’t make Hannan the Prime Minister really soon, somebody (say, Fox) […]

Where Credit Is Due

It is always better to be too generous than to risk being regarded as selfish or possessive or, Heaven forbid, thievish.

Stacy McCain Interviews MD Senate Candidate Daniel Bongino

by Smitty It turns out that there is a Senator from Maryland named Ben Cardin, who replaced Sarbanes. That Cardin fellow may be just a little anxious about Daniel Bongino, who looks like the kind of guy you want on your side when the fertilizer hits the air circulator. Stacy McCain is in great form […]

Good to Be Back Home

It was cold here in the hills of western Maryland last night and it would be insanely expensive to keep the house comfortably warm with electric space heaters. Therefore we snuggled up: Me, my wife and our two youngest children slept four in a bed. We woke up to find that the number had been […]
