Ron Paul vs. Tea Party Express?

Eric Odom wonders why “Doctor No” doesn’t join the tour: During the past few months Ron Paul’s fans/supporters have gone out of their way to promote his candidacy at every corner of the web. You’ll find them in the comments of every post about an opponent and they’re very active in message boards and discussion […]

Thanks for Answered Prayers, and Guess Who’s Going to New Hampshire?

OK, let’s start by saying that I’m waaaay behind on thank-you e-mails to those who’ve hit my tip jar in the past month. I’m going to catch up, I promise, but first, Da Tech Guy has an excellent point about answered prayers: So do not worry and say, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What […]
