My PVR recorded last night's Democrat debate, but I won't have time to watch the whole thing until Thursday night at the earliest. It's been much easier, however, to get the highlights from the various blogs. From some of the liveblogging I've managed to read, it seems to have shocked lots of people on the […]
Kentucky Republican Rep. Geoff Davis needs to think twice about the words he uses. U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, a Hebron Republican, compared Obama and his message for change similar to a "snake oil salesman" [at a Northern Kentucky Lincoln Day dinner]. He said in his remarks at the GOP dinner that he also recently participated […]
Just got done watching Democrat Rep. James Clyburn, the House majority whip, on CNN's "Situation Room." Host Wolf Blitzer asked Clyburn about move by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to change the rules to effectively table the Colombian free trade agreement. Clyburn said he approved of the move and that the President was wrong to send […]
You know the Democrats have gone way out on a limb when The New York Times editorial page says the Democratic Congress should approve the Colombian free trade agreement.

I mentioned earlier this week that Obama supporters have said a lot of outrageous things, but that we still hadn't located the line that, if crossed, would be too much for Sen. Barack Obama to stomach. Calling John McCain a warmonger isn't past the line. Calling on God to "damn America" isn't over the line. […]
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, Moron-W. Va., had the following to say about Sen. John McCain. Rockefeller believes McCain has become insensitive to many human issues. "McCain was a fighter pilot, who dropped laser-guided missiles from 35,000 feet. He was long gone when they hit. "What happened when they [the missiles] get to the ground? He doesn't […]
I'm working my way, rather quickly, through Bernard Goldberg's "Crazies to the left of me, Wimps to the righ," and came across a section on the New York Times and its refusal to print the infamous Muhammed cartoons. Goldberg describes an editorial that ran in the Times explaining how they chose not to print the […]
