By: James Richardson (Diary) | October 23rd at 11:30 AM |
A California union stagehand was abruptly terminated Friday for wearing a “George H. W. Bush” sweat shirt and hat while constructing a stage to be used for a get out the vote rally featuring President Barack Obama. Duane Hammond says his clothes were not a political statement, rather a sign of support for his son, who is serving on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. George H. | Read More »
Senator Thune: the Obama experiment has failed
By: Dan Spencer (Diary) | October 23rd at 10:42 AM |

Tech at Night: Net Neutrality, Google, free weights
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | October 23rd at 02:00 AM |
Good evening. I’ll level with you: I’m exhausted. All summer I got virtually no exercise because, as it turned out, I’ve developed asthma triggered by the air pollution that gets worse during the summer here in inland southern California. So I’m ramping back up my weight lifting, and as I adapt, it’s wearing me out. So tonight I’ll be brief. The push continues for Republicans | Read More »
Video: Elections Have Consequences
By: Caleb Howe (Diary) | October 20th at 11:00 PM |
This is the latest video from Ben Howe. For the first two in what is shaping up to be a series, go here or here. If there is one characteristic every Democrat in the above video shares, it’s arrogant disdain. They know best, you don’t. Alan Grayson says you’re gullible. Disagree? Let him know. There are two weeks left. First, vote with your money. Then, | Read More »
Tech at Night: Google, Daily Kos, Australia, Nuclear Power, Fraud, DRM
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | October 19th at 02:00 AM |
Previously we covered Chris Bowers working over at Daily Kos on a linking scheme to manipulate Google’s search service. Now we come across a new attack on the company, a plan to manipulate click tracking the firm does to figure out what links are most interesting to its users. Of course, the Daily Kos folk want to smear Republicans using Google. Again, we look to | Read More »

By: Dan Spencer (Diary) | October 17th at 06:00 PM |
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Saturday rallied an excited crowd at a Republican National Committee rally in Orange County. Palin took on the Democrats’ leaders: “Are you ready to fight for your freedoms?You fire Pelosi, retire Reid and their whole band of merry followers, and we get back on the right track.” She took on the press: “For the press, yes I shall be | Read More »
What’s the cost to taxpayers for Patty Murray’s 911 call to Obama and Biden?
By: Bryan Myrick (Diary) | October 17th at 01:14 PM |
Democrats are hitting the panic button in Washington State as the race between Democratic Senator Patty Murray and Republican challenger Dino Rossi narrows down to the nail-biter many of us knew it would be. How much is Murray’s eleventh-hour 911 call to Pres. Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice Pres. Joe Biden costing taxpayers? After already receiving two visits from the executive branch’s | Read More »
The Condescender-in-Chief
By: Bill S (Diary) | October 17th at 10:59 AM |
Two years into the Obama presidency, and this kind of thing really shouldn’t be a surprise. Obama told the several dozen donors that he was offering them his “view from the Oval Office.” He faulted the economic downturn for Americans’ inability to “think clearly” and said the burden is on Democrats “to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling.” The President believes | Read More »
Tech at Night: Lots more Net Neutrality
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | October 16th at 02:00 AM |
Alright I admit it. I’m kicking off tonight’s Tech at Night with this article from NationalJournal.com because it mentions me. I like feedback. But seriously it’s an important overview of Net Neutrality with respect to the conservative grassroots and the TEA party. Our side has been resistant to any action (Because as Digital Society points out, we don’t support action for its own sake), but | Read More »
On the new West Virginia polls
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | October 15th at 03:30 PM |
Since Democrat Joe Manchin, West Virginia Governor and Senate candidate, literally shot a copy of the “Cap and Trade” bill that DC Democrats tend to support, it’s been clear that Republican John Raese’s easy days of running against Barack Obama were going to get harder. But the new Orion Strategies poll for Marshall University of the race just isn’t credible.

The air war tightens the California race
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | October 14th at 02:15 PM |
As I’ve not been shy about saying, I have an emotional attachment to the California Senate race. I live here, I’ve always lived here, and in fact Democrat Barbara Boxer was first elected to the Senate when I was first beginning to follow politics, back when I was 14 years old. So I knew the television ad campaigns would make or break the race for | Read More »

Why Not Barack Obama?

Last evening, the President of Chile called out by name two world leaders for special thanks for their support — British Prime Minister David Cameron and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Barack Obama’s name was not mentioned.

‘The Un’ vs The One
By: Steve Maley (Diary) | October 13th at 10:00 AM |
What a scary world we live in. Who would have guessed that in the 21st century one of the world’s largest military powers, a nuclear state no less, would contemplate handing the reins of power to an untested neophyte? The exact details of his birth have been kept under wraps. The details of his elite private education are shadowy, too. He’s the ultimate product of | Read More »
Barack Obama the Birther
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 12th at 12:59 PM |
Barack Obama accusing the Chamber of Commerce of laundering foreign money and putting it into the election this year is as crazy as the Birthers demanding to see his birth certificate having convinced themselves Obama is a foreign born manchurian candidate. I largely agree with Glenn Reynolds on this. Obama is raising the specter of foreign influence in the election so his base views the | Read More »
Throwing the book at Obama
By: Dan Spencer (Diary) | October 11th at 11:30 AM |
Throw the book at somebody: to punish or criticize someone as severely as possible. – The Free Dictionary As president Obama tried to rally supporters in Philadelphia to staunch the rising unpopularity of his radical policies before the midterm elections, a book was thrown at him. The U.K.’s Daily Mail reports, the “flying missile narrowly missed hitting the President yesterday.” You can see the book fly by Obam’s | Read More »
