Marine Corps Launches Blogs

From email. Just received a press release on a new Marine OCS recruiting campaign and an interesting application of blogs by the Marine Corps. You can access the blogs here, or at link at he very end of the release. I'll post the whole thing, since I haven't found it on...

Rep. Taylor (D): Anti-Taxers Are “Scum”

Is there something in the water in DC today, or is it the heat? Taylor has a point in claiming he isn't one of the Blue Dogs who is selling out. But, now ATR, instead of backing down, is ratcheting it up based upon other previous votes they argue represent tax...

Has The Washington Post Lost Its Mind?

I'm a conservative who votes Republican and no fan of Hillary Clinton, but this clip via the Post is unbelievable. She's still the Secretary of State. And this is the kind of thing...

Is The RNC Going Off The Cliff?

After reading this report of tempers flaring at a recent RNC meeting, I decided to do some quick research. The spat involves Steele's hand-picked guy to run the important Rules Committee, Florida Republican Chair Jim Greer.

That doesn't sit well with some conservatives, who see Greer as a centrist. Former South Carolina...

Vanity Thy Name Is Obama?

A vanity born of a learned arrogance, perhaps? Is that true of Obama and, if so, will it be his downfall? What's more timely perhaps is simply that such speculation has begun. But as I cautioned the other day, the term is still far too young to start making such...

AP: Sarah Palin’s New “Quiet Life”

If she's isn't in the news because she's making noise, heck, let's make her news because she's being too quiet for her many adoring fans. lol I don't k...

In Defense Of Newspapers?

AIM picks up a CJR item and, not surprisingly, elements mostly aligned with the existing old media business rise in defense of it with analysis. But none of their analysis holds, nor speaks to the core issues, which I found myself pondering just last night. It isn't just how content is...

IG Scandal: Curiouser And Curiouser

Hmm. h/t Instapundit for this by Byron York, who is doing some terrific work for The Examiner. Best hire they've made since I've been looking in. Read it all for the nuance.

The gist is this. As Sacramento Mayor, Kevin Johnson's problems were getting in the way of the city receiving stimulus...

Updated: GDP -1% Annual April Thru June

Updated: Longest post-war losing streak. This does not bode well for anyone holding elective office right now.

The U.S. economy contracted an annualized real 1.0 percent in the second quarter of 2009, a substantial improvement from the previous quarter's decline of 6.4 percent but marking the longest postwar losing streak, the Commerce...

Transparency, Thy Name Ain’t Obama

Is anyone else starting to sense a pattern here? Or, is it more like a way of life and government operations in an Obama administration?

Who needs Rove and Cheney around to schedule closed and even secret meetings with no media allowed when you have Obama, Axelrod, Rahm and Co.? Too bad...

Obama Gives Self An “F” On Meeting

If it's unfair to judge Obama by our standards, surely we are able to judge him by his own, I would think? 

When I saw the New York Times headline on the heels of his White House meet and drink, I couldn't help but think back to his own rhetoric from the...

Is Obama A Sociopath?

Well, that headline, and it is a serious one, believe it or not, is nevertheless guaranteed to fuel my liberal commenters disdain for, ire and rage at, and dismissal of me. How could I possibly resist such a delightful opportunity to invite them all to dance? They being so pretty when...
