Best VA Political Week Of The Year

by Smitty I know CPAC is at full roar, while I sit out in the cold, where I can catch enough bandwidth for a post. What a week in VA news. Cuccinelli tilting the SCOTUS windmill-style for the ObamaCare case. VMI looking really creepy over Islam. And then ol’ “Born Fightin’” Webb decides that fighting […]

Spotted Owls and Moderate Democrats

Both of them are endangered species: The Democratic Leadership Council, the iconic centrist organization of the Clinton years, is out of money and could close its doors as soon as next week, a person familiar with the plans said Monday. The DLC, a network of Democratic elected officials and policy intellectuals had long been fading […]

Don’t Worry, Egypt: He’ll Pull Out

Obama sending “multiple platoons” of Marines to Egypt “to assist in the evacuation of US citizens”? Why would the administration make a panic gesture like that?

Hey, Remember That Crazy Conspiracy Theory Glenn Beck Was Talking About?

According to every Serious Foreign Policy Pundit, it’s absolutely insane for Beck to assert that the Left and the Islamists are in alliance to bring revolution to the Middle East.

From the Department of Not Exactly News: Chris Matthews Is Very Confused

You can’t make up stuff as funny as this: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy “I feel ashamed about this. I feel ashamed as an American, the way we’re doing this. . . . We’re not handling it as Americans should handle a matter like this. And I don’t […]

Crisis in Cairo Continues: Egyptians Ignore Obama, Resort to Violence

The magic words of President Obama’s speech apparently failed to pacify the Egyptian masses and — as of 5 p.m. in Cairo (10 a.m. ET) — the crowds in Tahrir Square were fighting with sticks and stones. As much as I’d like to spend today blogging about domestic politics — and Kim Kardashian’s nude photos — […]

Now That Obama Has Saved Egypt From Disaster, It’s Time to Blog About Charlie Sheen and Other Screwed-Up Celebrities UPDATE: Justin Bieber Video Added!

Today, I put up five posts — totalling more than 2,500 words, with four videos, two photos and 52 links — about the crisis in Egypt. I actually forced myself to watch both MSNBC and Al-Jazeera in order to bring you guys complete coverage: Egypt: Crisis Averted? Obama’s Speech: Transition ‘Must Begin Now’ Army Chief […]
