Floyd | Wednesday, 29th of July 2009 at 08:57:41 AM In my book if Michael Barone says you don’t know how to do something political — the case is closed. He says Obama is good at aura but can’t legislate for shit his way out of a wet paper bag.
Aura dazzles, but argument gets things done. Consider the debate on the Democrats’ health [...]

Mike | Wednesday, 29th of July 2009 at 07:18:33 AM The other day, my buddy Jay Nordlinger posted an e-mail from one of his readers.
Been a while since you read the Declaration of Independence? Me too. A reader wrote,
Jay,
In light of the recent coverage of the Waxman-Markey bill and the new bureaucracy it spawns, and the economic costs it imposes, I was [...]

Floyd | Wednesday, 29th of July 2009 at 07:03:25 AM New York City has hit upon an interesting way to combat homelessness — or at least part of its problem — by buying one-way tickets home for families willing to leave and who show up at shelters.
“I didn’t expect the city to be the way it is,” said Hector Correa, who was in a [...]

JohnFN | Tuesday, 28th of July 2009 at 08:50:00 PM Soon-to-retire U.S. Senator George Voinovich, has found the problem with the Republican party. It isn’t the message, it isn’t the corruption – it’s the southerners.
“We got too many Jim DeMints (R-S.C.) and Tom Coburns (R-Ok.). It’s the southerners. They get on TV and go ‘errrr, errrrr.’ People hear them and say, ‘These people, [...]

Movieguide’s Dr. Ted Baehr braves the occasionally bawdy RF3D waters for show number 16. Sorry, almost forgot we’re on Roman standard here — XVI. Turning in one of the few positive reviews of Terminator Salvation, Dr. Baehr also relates a recent development in which the New York Times endorsed his conservative and values-based Movieguide.

Mike | Tuesday, 28th of July 2009 at 07:35:44 AM John Stossel’s Take has been added to the blogroll. It’s only been around for a few weeks, but it’s a site I visit every day. (With ABC continuing to delay airing his health care story, it may be the only place to hear from him on the topic.)
Andrew Price’s blog, Commentarama, is an amazingly well-written daily [...]

I like Joe Biden. Any stand up comedian worth his salt… wouldn’t even have to hire writers with this guy around… Here’s Joe on Russia — you know the country Obama visited a couple fo weeks ago so we could have a “reset” of our relationship after that Cowboy Neanderthal (aka Homo Selectus by [...]

Mike | Tuesday, 28th of July 2009 at 06:36:51 AM With the census coming up again next year, USA Today has an article about the difficulties in getting an accurate count:
A review of the 2000 Census revealed that for the first time in history, the count was actually too high. It took two years to nail down the scope of the problem: About 10.2 [...]

JohnFN | Monday, 27th of July 2009 at 07:04:52 PM The world of racial and sexual politics is a small one. Lucia Whalen, the woman who called 911 to report the alleged break-in at Henry Gates’ house is represented by Boston lawyer and noted news personality Wendy Murphy.
One wonders, once you enter elite legal, political or media circles, what it takes before your colleagues [...]

Floyd | Monday, 27th of July 2009 at 06:11:20 PM Here’s another fascinating article (I’m on a roll even if no one comments on them) about CSI from Popular Mechanics. Did I say fascinating? I meant sobering and a bit scary.
The faulty identification that sent Brown to prison for 15 years may seem like a rare glitch in the U.S. criminal justice system. It [...]

I’m more of a Powerage guy myself, but hard to deny the greatness of Highway to Hell. Three months to record, too. Not bad for “Mutt” Lange …

OK, so it’s based on a totally non-scientific survey, but till the first kickoff in September, I take what I can get. Coach Paterno’s 2007 football delinquents could not be reached for comment. Ditto the Nittany Lion mascot.

Outlaw13 | Monday, 27th of July 2009 at 12:59:27 PM Saw this at BLACKFIVE
The big wheels generally don’t make it out to the hinterlands where I’m at (several state governors did visit a few weeks ago, but that’s been about it)…so it was interesting to see that an actual “Hollywood Star” darkened the door of Camp Liberty and held the bridle of old “Trigger” [...]
