Dan Collins Should Be Linked, And Often, And By Someone Who Knows How

Please go visit Dan’s blog Piece of Work in Progress immediately and, if the spirit generosity should coincide with a few bucks in your account, hit that man’s tip jar.

Media Decides to Be the Decider

So, after a couple hours offline, I return to the computer, check Memorandum, and see headlines like these: Palin trails Sheen with independents  Trump torches GOP presidential field  Pence: Boehner will ‘denounce’ Tea Party critics in GOP  What’s going on here is that (a) the liberal media are once again trying to tell the Republican […]
