    Ten Media Truths for Conservative/Republican Legislators.

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  September 27th at 12:00 PM  | 

    This is the result of roughly ten years’ worth of looking on – sometimes horrified; sometimes amused; sometimes bewildered – at our current Media environment. Note that capital, by the way: I’m pretty much describing the Media as a singular and monolithic institution, mostly because on a practical level that’s pretty much how it acts towards conservatives/Republicans. Also, I’m really not interested if individual Media-units | Read More »

    Debt & Jobs dominate GOP FoxNews/Google debate question requests.

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  September 20th at 05:20 PM  | 

    Let me explain this one: there’s a debate Thursday that’s being sponsored by FoxNews & Google. Google is letting people submit questions via YouTube – frankly, this has more than a slight whiff of gimmick about it, but let’s roll with the notion for a moment. The preliminary survey of submitted questions indicate that the top two categories of questions submitted are “Government Spending” and | Read More »

    Collective bargaining reform passes Ohio Senate.

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  March 2nd at 09:00 PM  | 

    The bill is SB5, and it will limit future collective bargaining for Ohio state employees to base salary: it passed the Ohio Senate with a one-vote margin (all hail the power of having a strong enough majority to allow you breathing room: elections matter, folks*). The bill now goes to the House, where the GOP has a 59-40 advantage: and a simple majority constitutes a | Read More »

    ‘Bullets won’t kill it!’ – Democrats and their upcoming Bad Time.

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  January 29th at 01:30 PM  | 

    Full disclosure: this is all going to be as-I-think-of-it-opinion, I have no interest in interrupting the narrative flow by looking for links, and so I freely admit that it would be fair to discount or dismiss the results accordingly. The Democrats are in for a bad election cycle, to the point where people are actually talking about the Democrats losing the House – and starting | Read More »

    Actually, I agree with both Reynolds *and* Yglesias.

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  December 12th at 10:00 AM  | 

    The country is indeed ungovernable. …By Democrats. I mean, seriously: remember what life was like four years ago, when it was the GOP running things?  Miss it yet?  You should: rather more of the people reading this had jobs back then.  And fatter retirement accounts.  And better value in their houses.  And soon – very, very soon – lower taxes. Remember, folks: the GOP can | Read More »

    A ‘doctrinal shift’ in the works for the GOP.

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  February 27th at 07:55 AM  | 

    Like Gateway Pundit, I didn’t think Bobby Jindal’s speech was bad*, but this DC Examiner article by Byron York is still of interest: “A Major Doctrinal Shift for Republicans” I just got off the phone with a very plugged-in Republican strategist who told me that Republican reaction to President Obama’s speech, which the party will roll out in the next few days, will mark the | Read More »
