"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Buerkle in the Crosshairs

Ann Marie Buerkle is one of 19 GOP House members targeted by a new Democrat attack ad. Wait a minute: Didn’t we just get lectured that it was inflammatory and irresponsible to use violence-inspiring terms like “target” about members of Congress? Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters: I guess it’s okay to do this 23 days after […]

Got Any Good Jon Huntsman Jokes?

He’s the son of a billionaire who is Obama’s ambassador to China but now is probably running for the GOP nomination, which is why I’m trying to stock up on jokes.

Herman Cain Tops Santorum, Christie, Daniels, Pence, Huckabee in N.H.

OK, that’s not the headline on the Politico story, but the order of finish in the New Hampshire GOP straw poll was lots more interesting than the news that Mitt Romney beat Ron Paul: Romney won with 35 percent, beating second-place finisher Ron Paul by 24 points in the WMUR-ABC News straw poll of members […]
