The big news Friday afternoon was that there would be a lottery for Michael Jackson memorial tickets. On a serious note, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin announced that she would be resigning in a few weeks. The left wing fever swamps are convinced that this is a pre-emptive move because a big embezzlement scandal is coming […]
After yesterday's cringe-inducing press conference where South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, a Republican, confessed to having flown to Argentina to have an affair with a woman, it's clear that his political career is over. Sanford won't be running for president in 2012 as some had suggested. He won't be running for re-election either. He may […]
Good thing we didn't elect this guy. This speech against tyranny and in support of the Iranian people might make the terror-supporting, nuclear bomb-wanting regime sad -- and they might accuse the U.S. of "meddling." That would be bad.
I haven't commented on last week's dueling speeches between President Barack Obama and former Vice President Dick Cheney. From a purely political standpoint, the fact that Cheney is the one making these sorts of speeches just goes to show you how shallow the GOP bench is on national security issues.

Earlier today Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter decided to join the Democratic party. The standard joke appears to be: "So what's new?" Specter has been increasingly at odds with rank-and-file Republicans -- especially where it matters -- in his home state.

You can find coverage of yesterday's tea parties across the blogosphere. I didn't have the benefit of being able to get away from work to attend any of them locally, but I did want to highlight this nugget from Michelle Malkin on the Sacramento tea party. Organizer Mark Meckler singled out GOP opportunists who wouldn’t […]
I didn't get a chance to listen to all of President Barack Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress last night. In between something I like to call "work" and heading off to see the San Diego State men's basketball team collapse against BYU, I did manage to catch parts of the speech. Now, […]
Lobbyist Vicki Iseman has settled her libel suit against the New York Times in return for a dishonest clarification. On Thursday, the two sides released a joint statement saying: “To resolve the lawsuit, Ms. Iseman has accepted The Times’s explanation, which will appear in a Note to Readers to be published in the newspaper on […]
State Sen. Abel Maldonado (R-Tax Hikes) spoke at the GOP convention last year in Denver Minneapolis and told the delegates there that his father, once a sharecropper, knew more about basic economics than Barack Obama. Based on Maldonado's vote this morning, the voters should've elected Abel's father. (via Patterico)
