Terrorist attacks Jacksonville congregation
Yes, this is real. It happened 10 days ago, and the national media didn’t report it – only local media did. On May 10th, a man brought a pipe bomb and a can of gasoline to a Jacksonville congregation during prayers and detonated it. Thank God no one was injured, but it’s still a rather […]
NYT Blumenthal Bombshell Was A Political Hit Job
The NYT story on Connecticut AG Richard Blumenthal relied on a misleading video clip. The full video clip shows that Blumenthal correctly characterized his Vietnam-era service.
Will Biden Be Unopposed?
Beau Biden left the hospital today, and I am starting to wonder if the scare to his health last week will be the only scare he will face this election year. The Republicans held their convention last Saturday, and failed to nominate a candidate to challenge the first term Democratic Attorney General.
2010 Will Break Their Hearts and Spirit
It is already happening. Last night we saw the Democrats taking out their own trash to better their prospects in November. Indeed, the Senate race in Pennsylvania goes from a toss up between Specter and Toomey, and now it will be a Democratic hold in November. In Arkansas, Blanche Lincoln, if renominated, would be a lock for defeat in November. But last night, she was held to 43%, barely finishing ahead of progressive Lt. Governor Bill Halter, and will be forced into a runoff three weeks from now against him. And you have to figure, given her showing last night,and Halter’s performance last night, she is in trouble of losing. If Halter wins, while Arkansas does not become a Democratic lock, it does become competitive again, maybe even a tossup.
Conservative Women’s Group Elevates Souder To A Man Above Men
Seriously? “Those of us who have worked with Mark over the years know him to be a kind and thoughtful legislator. If Mark Souder is capable of sexual misconduct, it could happen to anyone,” said Concerned Women for America CEO Penny Nance in a statement Tuesday. “The frat house environment on Capitol Hill does nothing […]
It’s Time To Mess With Texas
History should be something we learn from, but if the Texas School Board gets its way learning will be replaced by indoctrination. The board is to vote on a sweeping purge of alleged liberal bias in Texas school textbooks in favour of what Dunbar says really matters: a belief in America as a nation chosen […]
Tornoe’s Toon: Carper Hearts Big Oil
Memo to Tom Carper: Asking tough questions of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar about the federal response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico does not suddenly make you a tree-hugging hippie on the subject. As a ranking member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, wasn’t it your responsibility to ask these questions […]
Good Night For Democrats, Bad Night For The Establishment
Recap of last night’s primaries and special election results.
Liveblogging the primaries, 5/18

The Delaware Department of Justice released this statement: Attorney General Beau Biden returned home this afternoon from Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience, Department of Justice spokesman Jason Miller said. Biden’s doctor, Dr. Robert Rosenwasser of Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience, made the following statement upon […]
Oilpocalypse: Who Should Pay?
I started a small Twitter war last night when I suggested that perhaps we should tax gasoline to pay for the cleanup of the oil volcano in the Gulf. BP is statutorily limited to $75M in damages for a spill. I suspect that they will end up paying more than that voluntarily, but they will, […]
