The [...] He’s Nick Searcy, but you already knew that. Nick Searcy is a guest on “Red Eye” tonight (or early tomorrow morning, depending on your perspective). Set your DVR or VCR or, if you don’t have either, down a pot of coffee and watch it live!

That’s not entirely true. I did have a feeling regarding the election. When I left church late Monday evening I had an eerie, disquieting feeling that we were on our own for this one. I am greatly disappointed with the [...] (I originally posted this on April 30th at Dirty Harry’s Place.) Reverend Jeremiah Wright has done a tremendous thing for this country. In the future Reverend Wright and his unapolegetic discourse on race may be viewed as one of the most significant, positive events in U.S. race relations since the ’60s… Share on [...] Go here to see more of his work!

“Tony Rezko does not live next door” (Originally posted November 3, 2008) This article in the London Telegraph has recently sparked a lot of discussion. I also think it’s important, but not for the reasons most folks are referencing it. For those of you unaware, Barack’s polygamous father was equally [...] (Originally published October 3, 2008) Use the comments to tell the vast, Threedonia readership what McCain needs to do in the next four weeks to win? Share on Facebook (originally posted October 7, 2008) O.K., we all know Palin is the fun part of the ticket; the roller-coaster ride. You’re never quite sure what you’re gon’na get, but you know it’ll be a thrill and she’ll keep you on the edge of your seat. Unfortunately, her time on the national stage in this campaign is over.

I like to try to predict these things; I’m a stats geek and these types of events are right in my wheelhouse, but I am sorry to admit that I can’t call this one. I simply don’t have a solid read on it. So, Floyd let me borrow the DeLorean for the [...] Megan McArdle raises a very good point here, http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/11/01/treat-the-symptom-not-the-measurement.html but I think she gets one, key thing wrong (more on that soon). First, what she gets right; if you measure percentages or marks on a scale there are always asymptotes on both sides. If you measure “household income” there will always be those with more [...] Although a bit older than me, this guy nails my attitude about Europe, http://pjmedia.com/michaelledeen/2012/11/01/letter-to-my-european-friends/ It’s a quick read and I recommend it. What so many people miss (most Europeans I have met and far too many young, “educated” Americans) is how important the fact that America is different is to the world. Mark Steyn [...] Gabba, gabba Hey, Threedonia!

Your YouTube video “Let My People Vote” has been viewed more than 1.4 [...] Share on Facebook (hat tip, Instapundit) Ken Burns has a great OpEd on this subject in USAToday today (that’s redundant). I’m going to surgically pick apart his logic, but you need to read the whole thing. It’s really very good. So, I’m going to re-print the whole thing, here. Ken Burns makes a great argument in support of [...] From today’s Wall Street Journal: “According to financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011, Sesame Workshop and its nonprofit and for-profit subsidiaries had total operating revenue of more than $134 million.

Big Bird and friends also [...] From The Telegraph: “… This year we closed the Olympics with the painfully drawn out strains of “Hey Jude” howled at us by an OAP. We gave the world the greatest show on earth; why did we end it like this? …A lot has happened in those years. And the Beatles brand has aged [...] Meet the Sandra Fluke of student loan debt. Be sure to read some of the comments. There is a very interesting irony in this woman’s essay. I admire her writing technically.
