I can’t help myself on this one. Conservative blogs such as Power Line are watering down the spying on American citizens by invoking what has to be the worst example of all — President Abraham Lincoln — which has devolved into a comparison of the Peace Democrats of 1863 with the Peace Democrats of [...]
I’ll be leaving this afternoon out of BWI to go see my family out in Missouri for a week. Just got back from Mass, kids are opening presents, coffee is being brewed, and I… am blogging.
Merry Christmas everyone. For a real treat, read this editorial from the FLS’s Dave Smalley.
It’s Christmas somewhere! Track where Santa is right now!
This is the 50th Anniversary that NORAD and its predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) have tracked Santa. The tradition began after a Colorado Springs-based Sears Roebuck & Co. store advertisement for children to call Santa on a special “hotline” included an inadvertently misprinted telephone [...]
Probable 97th District GOP Candidate Chris Peace has one of the best website designs I have seen in a long while.
Great stuff! Just needs a campaign blog…
The Jesuits in charge of America have done it again, this time missing this:
The apparent prank by a London-based artist offered what he called the “Extra Virgin” statue for sale, “a stunning … statue of the Virgin Mary standing atop a serpent wearing a delicate veil of latex.”
A color photograph showed a statue of magenta-robed [...]
Groh’s offensive coordinator Ron Prince was named head coach of Kansas State; defensive coordinator Al Golden will take over head coaching duties at Temple; outside linebackers coach Danny Rocco will lead Liberty; and inside linebackers/special teams coach Mark D’Onofrio will join Golden’s staff.
Now you can’t tell me for one second that, with all of this [...]
Courtesy of the friendly folks at the Cato Institute:
‘The Senate yesterday passed nearly $40 billion in spending reductions in a furious pre-Christmas finish marked by testy floor debate and a rare tie-breaking vote cast by Vice President Dick Cheney,’ Knight Ridder reports. Chris Edwards, director of tax policy studies at the Cato Institute, comments: ‘Passage [...]
Now the conversation has turned towards who would benefit, not necessarily a win in 2006, but a loss against Allen and a comeback in ‘08.
Some good comments (if you’re a Dem). However, recall Jim Miller against Oliver North in 1994, and the boomerang in 1996 when he tried to run against John Warner.
Warner is [...]
Courtesy of The Political Teen, an 77-year old Iraqi voter offers her thoughts on critics of President Bush and America:
“Anybody who doesn’t appreciate what America has done and President Bush, let them go to hell”
– Iraqi Citizen, voter Betty Dawisha
With video goodness.
Betcha won’t see this on CNN, eh?
Virginia Centrist has this post regarding who – if anyone – can seriously challenge Senator Allen in 2006.
For the most part, he’s right:
Running a credible Senate campaign against a longtime incumbent requires a few things:

2. Tons of money.
3. An organized effort that starts AT LEAST 2 years out.
I [...]
