A sop to John Kerry’s ego

There’s an old adage here in the South that whatever you do on New Year’s Eve, you’re likely to do it a lot in the year to come. I won’t, therefore, go into full on rant mode regarding this NYT editorial, although I do find myself wondering in what country, exactly, these editors would [...]

Happy New Year, everyone!

The older I get, the more quickly the years seem to pass by. This one was no exception, in fact, it seemed to fly by quicker than any other to date. I started a new job on December 3rd, which is going to keep me both busy and mobile in the coming year, [...]

Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination

It’s fitting for a political blogger, I suppose, that this 1000th post on the site is one detailing why I plan to vote for Hillary Clinton in Georgia’s primary next year.
As some of you regular readers will know, I became a Democrat in May of this year, following the GOP’s shooting itself in the foot [...]

My mind isn’t clean

Perhaps a New Years resolution is in order, but when I read this Glenn Reynolds item, my first thought was “Defense Attorney Mary Carey?”
Mary Carey? (NSFW) First she runs for Governor of California, and now she’s a Defense Attorney?

Lefties lash out

I’ve rarely seen a more thorough destruction of lefty angry mob behavior than this one, especially as it relates to lefty “comedy” sites. Well worth a “Read the whole thing”.

Huh

The Derb:
A reader:
Derb, I cannot help but believe that Paul’s winning the Republican nomination will ensure Hillary’s election. I hope I’m wrong, but …
[Me] And then we’ll get what? Vast expansions of govt. power? A ballooning welfare state? Federal takeover of education? Foolish and unnecessary wars fought with inadequate forces? Open [...]

Merry Christmas!

We’re going non-traditional this year, with T-Bone steaks and baked potatoes. That means a lot of steaks for me to grill today, and even though it’s cold and rainy, I’m going to enjoy myself.
I hope you all do as well.

Merry Christmas Eve Eve, Mitt…

Ouch!
Welcome to Mitt Romney’s bizarro world, in which everyone is guilty of his sins. He didn’t support Ronald Reagan. He didn’t support President Bush’s tax cuts. He raised taxes in Massachusetts by $700 million. He knows John McCain is gaining on him so he does what any small varmint gun totin,’ civil rights marching, NRA [...]

I reserve only one

I need four more posts this month in order to bring the total posts on this blog to 1,000, and I’d like to solicit ideas from three people.
Three, because one of those posts is going to be my endorsement of a candidate this weekend.
So, if you would kindly step forward and leave your request in [...]

Stopped clocks

They’re right twice a day, I hear. I wouldn’t grant twice a day to Andrew Sullivan, but in regard to Hugh Hewitt, Sully’s certainly hit the nail on the head at least once this day:
In 2004, he was hyping a beyond-trivial story about Kerry’s tan. Now he’s dismissing the flap over Romney’s MLK Clintonism [...]
