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” […]

Remember Chris Christie, the Republican who defeated Gov. Jon Corzine in New Jersey last year? Well, here’s his address to a joint session of the New Jersey legislature about the budget crisis there. I can’t embed the video, so you’ll have to go over and watch it. I have to agree with Hunter Baker’s assessment […]

Best $200 I ever spent. I’m going to be smiling for days. Contrary to a lot of the spin coming out of the Left, here’s what Rasmussen found: In the end, Brown pulled off the upset in large part because he won unaffiliated voters by a 73% to 25% margin. The senator-elect also picked up […]

…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 […]

In one of Glenn Reynolds’ posts today, he quoted what is probably the best-known line from “Serenity”: “I am to misbehave.” So I dug up the trailer for “Serenity”, thinking to excerpt that quote and post it here.

ITEM: Lacking actual support for health care reform, Congress and the Obama Administration looks to manufacture it in order to give the mainstream media cover for how poorly they’ve covered the whole issue: The plan for a series of grass-roots demonstrations Tuesday to promote President Obama’s health care agenda calls for tightly scripted events and […]

Sorry it’s taken me so long to post here. I tried last night, but I was so exhausted that I kept falling asleep while composing this post and resizing my photographs so that they weren’t each 5 MB in size. I was tied up here in DC pretty much all day today (Sunday) and got […]
