[Final version — flights are done and I’m on the ground in Florida] “All the most important mistakes are made on the first day.” – The Art of Systems Architecting (Maier & Rechtin) Project Orca was the Romney campaign’s technological effort to track in near-real-time actual voting in precincts all over the United States, with […]
[Thanks to the links from Instapundit (Glenn Reynolds), Chaos Manor (Jerry Pournelle), and John C. Wright’s Journal (John C. Wright — what, you were expecting Karl Rove?). In fact, if you follow the link below to my 2008 post, you’ll see that I first read the poem over at Jerry Pournelle’s blog, Chaos Manor.] I posted this poem […]
Clint Eastwood gave one of the most memorable political convention speeches in the past few decades (at least), and the Left Is Not Amused, pushing their “angry, senile old man” memes for all they’re worth. Well, Eastwood also has a new movie coming out on September 21, “Trouble With the Curve”, and the Left wants […]
Almost wrote “day 6” up there, but then realized I was a bit ahead of myself. Arrived in St. Thomas (USVI) relatively early this morning — around 7:30 or so. Sandra and I opted for a bit more leisurely activity today: a bus tour of parts of Charlotte Amalie (the capital of St. Thomas) and […]
I’d like to post more, but the onboard ‘net access is expensive, slow, and flaky. Great sessions today: Jay Nordlinger interviewing Fred Thompson and John Sununu about running for president; a rather frank panel discussion on the potential 2012 Republican candidates involving John Miller, Tony Blankley, John Fund, Mona Charen, Robert Costa, and Raph Reed; […]
I’m posting this entry from 30,000 feet (and how quickly that has become commonplace). My sweet wife Sandra and I are sailing on the National Review Cruise tomorrow — seven days of traveling around the Caribbean while listening to and hobnobbing with people like Mark Steyn, Fred Thompson, Jonah Goldberg, Victor Davis Hanson, James Lileks, […]
Finally got this uploaded to YouTube. This is a video my wife shot yesterday of the ‘lefty plant‘ walking away from the Denver Tea Party, surrounded by folks mocking him — and almost all of whom have cameras of some kind trained on him. ..bruce w..
My sweet wife Sandra attended the Denver Tea Party today (I had to stay home due to work; hey, gotta pay those bills somehow). She reported no attempts to disrupt and only the one sign above (like anyone believes that Tea Partiers believe 9/11 was an inside job). UPDATE: Here’s video of said “lefty plant” […]
…oh what a beautiful day! McDonnell wins in Virginia by nearly a 20% margin; ditto for the Republican candidates in the Lt. Governor and State Attorney General races. Christie wins in New Jersey in spite of Democratic control of the state top to bottom. And, of course, Obama isn’t watching the returns. Went to New […]
