RSmitty of Delaware Politics has just announced he’s leaving the GOP and becoming an Independent.  I am not here to gloat.  This was obviously a difficult decision, and not one that should be taken lightly – by either side.  I refuse to cheapen Smitty’s decision with offers of congratulations.  Today is a day of mourning, […]

The Face of the GOP: Good Luck With That

From the blogoshphere. Idaho’s the unequicovocal notion writes, “Could you imagine the fit that the GOP would be in if Democrats took Jon Stewart as seriously as they take Rush?” Iowa Liberal is a little more snarky, “So much for that hip hop attitude” and Blue Virginia posts Gov. Kaine’s statement: However, Chairman Steele’s reversal […]

Sixty Minutes Likes Their PBJ

Filed in National by on March 2, 2009 3 Comments

Apparently, Gov. Bobby Jindal was on 60 Minutes the other night and I missed it, though I highly doubt I would have watched even I knew he was going to be on.
