Basically, the Democratic-controlled Committee on House Administration is drafting rules that would prohibit House members from posting content on any but “approved” websites. One can only imagine what kind of list the Dems would draw up.

Bob Krumm wants to keep Fred Thompson in the race. So do I. A whopping 5 states with only 5% of the delegates have voted so far, and the media is trying to talk him right out of the race. Dammit, I haven’t voted yet, you bastards! So he hasn’t […]

Instapundit links to an article at The Economist, pointing out that the margin of victory in some Democratic wins was less than the number of votes obtained by the Libertarian Party. Unfortunately, it then veers off into the “conventional wisdom” that any Republican voting for the Libertarian Party is just shooting themselves in […]

Just got a call asking me to support my Representative for re-election to Congress. “He has worked tirelessly for Senior Citizens…” blah blah blah.
I interrupted, “But he has not worked tirelessly on behalf of those who believe Kelo v. New London was decided incorrectly. I wrote him in regards to that issue and […]

For two years now, a bigger scandal than Enron has been bubbling away quietly, almost ignored by the mainstream media. It certainly has not made the media the way Enron and Worldcom did. Why? Well, maybe because the culprits aren’t evil capitalists; they’re “good socialists” : i.e.: they work for an organization […]

And all this time he had us thinking he was so smart he was just looking dumb to make folks misunderestimate him. I began to wonder about his sanity as far back as the Miers nomination. Now… nope, lets face it, he was just plain stupid. Well, he’s just pissed off another […]

Disgusting.
I don’t think I need to say more.
Update: Yes I do. Much is now explained, not to my surprise at all.
Update 2: Or maybe not.

And illegal immigration, pork, half-assing the War on Islamofacism, pork, creating another huge bureaucracy, more pork, nearly blowing the SCOTUS picks, and, oh, probably a dozen other little things that don’t quite come up to the level of major grievance, such as not prosecuting seditionists. (As much as I’d like to, […]

Meh. I was, at best, a lukewarm defender; it was more that I hated Ronnie Earle’s prosecutorial misconduct than liked DeLay. Because I didn’t. I’ve disliked him since he got neck-deep into screwing over Metro for about three years; I consider him one of the main reasons that the train is an […]

Over at BlogHouston, this thread got a response from the Chronicle to questions raised by Kevin and Evan over the poll data behind the headline I posted the other day.

But I’m really posting to draw your attention to Nick Danger’s post over on RedState.com There he reaches back to a 2001 post from the incredible and sexy (drool!) Michelle Malkin, to shed some light on just what Abramoff might have been doing when he disbursed all that money from the Indian tribes –it may not have been theirs to start with:

We’ve become like the House of Commons. Whoever has the most votes wins. It hasn’t worked that way in 216 years. — Harry Reid,

That title is meant to be spoken in the “Golly, gee willikers!” type of 1950’s Ron-Howard-as-Opie voice we all learned to know and detest on old weekday re-runs, back before gameshows, Divorce Court, and Oprah took over the airwaves. Well, I learned to detest it, anyway. If you’re under 30, you probably […]

ust got my “Elite Republican” membership card in, much to my surprise. Amazing, and all this time I thought you had to be rich or in business for yourself. But hey, $31k/yr civil servants must be able to make it, since only elites are criticizing Miers, and since I’m criticizing Miers again, I must be an elite, so $31k/yr civil servants. . . Anyway, you get the picture.

Are you a farmer? Forget it. If you’re anywhere near a town, Sell the land, get out now. Some developer’s going to come through one day and go “wow, I bet I could put a LOT of homes on that field.”
