#BlogBash Nominations Are Open

Wow, time flies: The annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is now barely a month away — it convenes March 6 at National Harbor near Washington, D.C. — which means it’s time for you to nominate your favorite blogs for the Blog Bash Awards. In case you don’t know it, Blog Bash is the hottest […]

We Need Cassone To Rock @CPACnews

by Smitty We need Chris Cassone to play this in the main ballroom at CPAC in front of a the full house (including YOU!) somewhere on March 6th or 7th: I just got off the phone with Chris, and he’s at the point of deciding if he’s going to attend at all. Apparently he brought […]

Rainy Day D.C. Getaway: Did Kimberlin Send a Photo-Stalker to CPAC Blog Bash?

Brett Kimberlin could have been sentenced to 230 years in federal prison WASHINGTON, D.C. The piped-in music in this taco shop seems to be set to ’80s punk-pop — currently “Rock This Town” by the Stray Cats — which isn’t an ideal working environment. Of course, I’ve filed from enough bars, McDonald’s and airport terminals […]

The Huffington Post Lies About Steven Crowder’s CPAC Monologue

by Smitty I happened to be in the ballroom for the remarks made by Crowder, as mis-reported by the Puffington Host:               Steven reports: So HuffingtonPost is outright lying and trying to slander me, and I could really use support. As you know, Ashley Judd has recently been heard […]

Sarah Palin, Phillis Schlafly, Mrs. Other Smitty, And #CPAC2013

by Smitty Taking in the afternoon at CPAC, I thought Sarah was rousing, and spot-on in her criticism: While a great example of whipping up the crowd to a froth, the speech sounded a bit Ann Coulter-ish, NTTAWWT. In other words, and excellent outing from a media personality, and not from someone laying the foundation […]

In Defense Of BlogBash And CPAC

by Smitty Noting Jerry Wilson’s disdain for BlogBash, “An event such as BlogBash could prove valuable if it led to greater networking, encouragement and support for all bloggers, not solely those in attendance,” I don’t think Jerry is fully briefed on the goals of The National Blogger’s Club, which really aren’t bad at all. I […]

FINE SPEECH: Sen. Jim DeMint Remarks At #CPAC2013 President’s Dinner

by Smitty “We can’t wait for Republicans to advance the conservative cause.” If you only have time for one segment, pick the second one, where he celebrates Paul’s filibuster, and contrasts conservatives with the Republican Party. He starts off with a reference to the Marco Rubio Water Bottle Incident Of 2013. He says people wonder […]
