Great: Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi Have Screwed Up My Last Day in L.A.

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. — My plans were all set: I’d drop by Pamela Geller’s 7 p.m. event on Sepulveda Boulevard, get some quick pictures, jump in the rental car, hustle down to LAX and return the car, and still leave myself plenty of time to catch the red-eye flight back home. What could possibly go wrong? […]

What Do You Mean, ‘WE’?

by Smitty In the post on the GZM as an election issue, I had said: “I’m all for seeing ecumenical centers at all sorts of hallowed sites, like Mecca, Medina, and Ground Zero. Because if ‘tolerance’ and ’sensitivity’ are not omni-directional, then they may just be cheap talking points proffered by the nefarious.” And our […]

Congratulations, Pamela Geller!

The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America just went into its second printing, Pamela told me last night in a phone conversation.  Geller is in Los Angeles to speak tonight (7 p.m.) with Robert Spencer at the Skirball Cultural Center in an event co-sponsored by Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and the David Horowitz Freedom […]

Ladd Ehlinger Jr. Goes Hollywood

My latest column at The American Spectator: HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — On a sound stage near Santa Monica Boulevard, actress Valerie Novak flubs a line and director Ladd Ehlinger Jr. asks her to repeat it. “And — action!” Novak nails the line this time and continues with her dramatic monologue when the director’s cell phone rings, […]

Ground Zero Mosque As An Election Issue

by Smitty (h/t Libertarian Republican) John Gomez floats the obvious question: He has Sarah Palin’s endorsement. I’m all for seeing ecumenical centers at all sorts of hallowed sites, like Mecca, Medina, and Ground Zero. Because if ‘tolerance’ and ‘sensitivity’ are not omni-directional, then they may just be cheap talking points proffered by the nefarious. On […]

Fear and Loathing in Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — I’m at a sound stage near Santa Monica Boulevard where Ladd Ehlinger Jr. is directing his latest series of political ads. There is something of an embargo about the exact nature of the production, and I’m on deadline for The American Spectator, so I can’t give you the full story now. However, […]

Give Nancy A ‘Palomino’, And For CA-8, John Dennis

by Smitty The Vodkapundit provides your title imagery, as the 111th Congress heads into the slumpstretch, and we get down to the grunt work of electing a Congress that isn’t a pile of road apples. Birch, at Right-O-Sphere, points to a crucial race: John Dennis, going against the woman who, in a sense, represents all […]

Had A Blast Out Knocking On Doors

by Smitty What a good time. Extroversion really isn’t a preferred mode for someone who’d rather sit around and blog. Nevertheless, supporting Patrick Murray, or whoever the local anti-fascist candidate in your district may be, is crucial. Thus, it’s hard to be happy with the Peter Schiff in the crowd: Connecticut Republican nominee for the […]
