Ace amusingly notes that the New Majority is now reduced to David Frum. So I go to check out the new site and am greeted by a post in which Frum downplays an expected Hoffman victory in NY-23. Trying to spin victories as less than victories because they’re simply not as big as Republican victories [...]

I’ve been too burnt out on politics to blog much lately, my last post being about Navy’s narrow loss to Ohio State four weeks ago. Lots of interesting stuff happening since then, but my mind goes numb trying to decipher the irrationality of lefties, and while writing about what everyone else is writing about is [...]

Michelle Malkin has warned against the politicization of Kennedy’s death (Stacy McCain wasn’t listening), but, as Ed Morrissey points out at HotAir, that advice does not apply to Kennedy’s allies (even the media, who denies being an ally), and especially not to Chris Matthews who took it upon himself to make Barack Obama a part [...]

At Saberpoint, Stogie takes a stand on 2012:
I will never vote for Mitt Romney again (and I did vote for him in the primaries); nor will I vote for Huckabee. I will vote for Palin or Jim DeMint if he happens to run. All the rest of the Republican establishment can go straight to hell.
Well, it’s [...]

Well, shame is probably not the right word, since Jefferson apparently has none. But photos of his freezer (aka The First Refrigerated State Bank of Louisiana) shown to the jury in his corruption trial disclose not just the $90,000 cash he had stored there . . .
Embarrassing and shameful!
. . . but also that some [...]

When I read Queer Conservative quoting Victoria Jackson, the first thing I though to myself was, the Saturday Night Live Victoria Jackson? The ditzy blonde? Yep:
I woke up in the middle of the night and realized the trick.
You see, evil doesn’t just show up. It disguises itself as something nice; so you’ll let it in. [...]

Mike at Cold Fury is plenty pissed at Palin’s slanderers. He recognizes we can’t take the bullshit attacks lying down, because that will only encourage more of them. Some people might call this a temper tantrum, but I think it is a call to arms that should be heeded:
Sue them, bankrupt them, ruin their lives, [...]

Well, not my blog, really, but she screwed up this post. I was just drafting a post on how I expected Obama’s visit to Russia to include an apology for purchasing Alaska for so little money (never mind that Russia thought they were sticking it to us at the time), and I half expected him [...]

Maybe I’ve been remiss in not following the whole Letterman-Palin flap. Maybe it didn’t interest me too much because — without knowing the details of what happened, admittedly — I was afraid conservative commentators were making too big a deal out of it.
Apparently, there are people who just are not going to let this thing [...]

Ed Morrissey tries to take the high road at HotAir over threatened Republican filibusters of Obama judicial (and administration) appointees. Normally, I’m all for the high road, but in this case, I’m not sure. I’m not even sure that what he is advocating is taking the high road so much as it is driving right [...]

When I read this post a American Glob about lefty groups coordinating with each other to investigate Obama critics, I was prepared to be pissed off. The post’s title said the groups were “digging for dirt” on Obama’s critics, and the quotes from the referenced Politico piece seemed to imply a rather nefarious scheme to expose [...]

There is a lot posted on righty blogs already (like at Ace, Michelle, and HotAir) about NYT columnist David Brooks’s all-too-predictable lament that he was hoodwinked by Obama the moderate during the campaign only to find the country run by Obama the extremist:
Those of us who consider ourselves moderates — moderate-conservative, in my case — [...]

I think President Obama deserves an “attaboy” for his Q & A with legislators yesterday as he closed out the “fiscal summit” held at the White House. What little blog coverage I’ve seen comes from lefties characterizing McCain’s challenge to new presidential helicopter costs as a sour grapes-style “cheap shot” or ridiculing Eric Cantor’s obsequiousness/civility [...]

Wow, that Michael Steele is one slick black dude. That seems to be the gist of Bob Beckel’s piece warning Democrats not to underestimate the new RNC chairman:
I have spent hours with Steele at the Fox News studios, and in dozens of TV encounters, and at dinners. Steele is a friendly, formidable, and very partisan [...]

“Zip, Zilch, Nada.”
Before you click on that link, see if you can guess whether the quote refers to (a) the number of Republicans that voted for the “stimulus” package that passed the House today; or (b) the credibility that Republican congressmen have on the issue of fiscal discipline.
The writer meant (a), but I think it’s [...]

I, like most people, know almost nothing about the newly appointed senator from the state of New York, Kirsten Gillibrand. But I know that Maureen Dowd doesn’t like her, so she immediately goes up a notch or two with me:
So now we have an N.R.A. handmaiden in Bobby Kennedy’s old seat? Kirsten Gillibrand, a k [...]

Allah at HotAir is chiding President Obama for abandoning bipartisanship, based on this report from Politico:
During a morning meeting with congressional leaders from both parties, President Obama acknowledged the philosophical differences between his stimulus package and the Republican plan – but, sources familiar with the conversation said, Obama then noted: “I won.”…
Allah introduced that excerpt [...]

God bless Victor Davis Hanson for so frequently and eloquently telling it like it is. In this case, he compares press treatment of Sarah Palin and Caroline Kennedy at NRO’s Media Blog:
But, no, the real embarrassment proves to be the media itself that apparently can’t see this weird unfolding self-incriminating morality tale: It is not [...]

New York Times: House Passes Auto Rescue Plan. “Auto rescue.” Hmm . . . whenever I needed that before, I called the auto club. So if this bill makes it into law, does that mean I call Congress next time I need a tow?
