The other night I covered the pardon problems of Mike Huckabee and Tim Pawlenty. Now a new GOP pardon problem comes to life. This one doesn’t involve a presidential candidate, but rather a former President and aTea Party darling: Though it’s typically pardon-empowered governors who must fret about their felons in the closet, legislators can […]
One of the long known goals of Osama bin Laden was to financially break the United States: A key facet of bin Laden’s anti-American warfare has always been economic. It’s a lesson he drew from the Afghan-Soviet war, in which he first served as a financier of mujahidin efforts and then as a fighter. He […]
Remember the story of Maurice Clemmons? He was a man that executed four Washington State police. Clemmons was essentially serving a life sentence in Louisiana for a series of burglaries, rape and a bunch of other nasty crimes.

Remember this from the 2008 general election? In all the commotion over Hillary Clinton’s long goodbye to the Democratic nomination fight, an odd moment in the Republican race got surprisingly little attention. Presumptive nominee John McCain called a Phoenix radio station last Friday and confessed to a secret passion for ABBA! Well McCain isn’t the […]
Following my previous post, where a Tea Party rally, expected to draw around 2,000 people only drew 30 after Donald Trump cancelled, we now have another case where Trump’s cancellation is causing the GOP some problems: Donald Trump on Thursday backed out of a June speaking engagement at one of the Iowa Republican Party’s premier […]

Well it didn’t turn out that way: The Columbia Tea Party went from Donald Trump to jilted chump after the celebrity businessman canceled his appearance at Thursday’s State House rally, and state legislators approved […]
So the Catholic Church has found their scapegoat when it comes to the problem of their priests keeping it in their pants: A long-awaited study on the “causes and context” of the priest child sexual abuse scandal, commissioned by U.S. bishops in 2006 and released Wednesday, blames the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, […]
There has been so much news lately of how much of a “valuable news source” Matt Drudge is. Let’s look at this “valuable” information. Here’s two headlines appearing at the top of his page right now: The original story from Esquire is here. Interesting enough, when you read it you will notice how it is […]
Just check out the anger that is brewing over at townhalls: Of course my headline is totally misleading. Instead of Healthcare and Democratic Townhalls, it’s actually Republican Townhalls and the issue of taxes, but my headline might get the media to actually notice that the Republicans are getting heat at townhalls over taxes and Medicare.

Tiffany’s isn’t the only place Newt Gingrich can get some bling. He also can get the poor man’s bling by just attending an event: GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and his wife Callista were hit with glittery confetti by a protester Tuesday during the couple’s appearance at a book-signing. The man approached the Gingriches during […]
