I’m on CNN at 8:00 p.m. tonight to cover the State of the Union and then will be in New York tomorrow night from the set up there to do it in studio the night of the SOTU. I suspect there will be a lot of talk about jobs in the next 48 hours, but people will be talking about Steve Jobs, not Obama’s job | Read More »
Here’s the question for the open thread: If Barack Obama cannot convince the IOC to give Chicago the Olympics, how is he ever going to be able to convince Iran to give up its nukes?
If Barack Obama can hire a 9/11 Truther as his green jobs czar, maybe we all should give the birthers a bit more latitude. Consider this an open thread.
Thanks to Neil, Steve, and Henry our site is now smoking fast and can handle significantly more traffic. The other day I got an email from “DaveinBoca” who really went on a rather insulting tangent about site operations. I understand his frustration, but geez — while we hate 500 errors, let’s get serious — our traffic is fantastic these days. Growing pains are a good | Read More »
Here’s your thought for the day: If the Democrats want us to treat seriously that Republicans wish to starve old people and children, then they must treat seriously that many do have legitimate reasons for believing the Democrats want Grandma to kill herself to help meet the federal bottom line. Frankly, there is more legitimacy in the idea that Democrats do want old people to | Read More »

Jack Conway (D-KY) is Kentucky’s Attorney General and like Joseph’s Coat of Many Colors, his hair goes from blond to brunette depending on the election cycle. He’s so tough he called himself a “tough son of a bitch” at a campaign rally. His opponent in the Democratic Primary demanded he apologize for using profanity when kids were present, but Conway is so tough he refused | Read More »
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, | Read More »

I have a long list of blogs that I read and, frankly, I haven’t read any of them in a very long time. I’ve gone from reading about 100 a day to about 5 a day. I spend most of my time these days reading news sites and doing the behind the scenes stuff that keep us going. It’s time to get back in the | Read More »
ABC News is reporting Judge Sotomayor has fractured an ankle en route from the airport to the Senate for meetings. Our prayers go out to her for a speedy recovery and minimal inconvenience. No word on if she tripped over her “Latina woman” comment. Consider this an open thread.

You wouldn’t know it was the National Day of Prayer at the White House today. The event was cancelled. Consider this an open thread to offer up suggestions for why it was cancelled. My favorite so far: 1. Because when your god is the government, it does not want your prayers, just your tithes (that one is mine) 2. Because stopping five times a day | Read More »
I’ve polled readers. It seems the best date for a RedState get together in Georgia will be August 1, 2009. I have no details and have made no plans. I have no idea how many people will wind up coming. I’ll work on some way for people to register. If we have a lot, we’ll make it a full day affair with some productive people | Read More »

Even without repealing it, many of the online left predicted George Bush would never surrender power to Barack Obama. And yet, a proposed amendment to repeal the 22nd Amendment has been introduced into Congress. It’s | Read More »
