Fear and Loathing In Iowa

Three days away from the Iowa caucus, the word is out that the Republican Party is in a “panic” over the possibility that Congressman Ron Paul might win the momentum-building contest on January 3, 2012. Iowa brings with it the first major vote and the idea of a Ron Paul victory has little, if any, [...]

AR Interviews: Mr. Ozzie deFaria, Candidate for Congress, Florida’s 20th District

Two days from now, a brand new election year will begin.  Sunday brings 2012, and by the end of this next year we may very well know whether America as we know it will survive, or whether the Mayans could have been correct after all.

It IS a Great Day in South Carolina!

Greenville News: Haley’s ‘Have a Great Day’ Mandate Irks Some Lawmakers I will freely admit that the “Have A Great Day” Mandate, enacted back in September, is pretty gosh-darned goofy on its face.  However, the response from a pair of Democrat legislators here in South Carolina is downright ludicrous.  From the Greenville News: Gov. Nikki [...]

DoJ Voter ID Blockade Irrational, anti-American

Change You Can Count On

 Change You can Believe in. Uh-huh. Consistent, Alinsky-like thinking: always say the opposite of what it is you’re actually doing. Given that we now have the advantage of nearly three years’ historical perspective, it is the concept of that “change” about which liberals from East to West were apparently all a-twitter that I would like [...]

The Lighter Side of Politics: Predictions for 2012

Another year has ended, and a new year–an election year at that–is right around the corner. Unfortunately, none of my predictions from last year have come true.  None of these will likely do so, either, but even a broken clock is right two times a day.  Unless it’s a digital clock, in which case you’ve [...]

Cult of Personality
