Jim Gilmore, come on down!

Today long-time U.S. Senator from Virginia John Warner announced that he will not seek another term in the upper house of the federal legislature.  The announcement lends credence to the potential for a Senate campaign on the part of my former presidential favorite Jim Gilmore.
Stay tuned…

Presidential candidates aren’t homeless

… they just move around a lot. 
This from today’s CQ Politics says that none of the campaigners were willing to spend a night out on the streets of DC.
Who can blame them, they might have to use a public restroom - and you know what can happen there (especially when Senators and Congressmen are around).

Gilmore waits as Warner wanes

My man Jim Gilmore has kept himself busy since his wise decision to step out of the GOP presidential nomination race earlier this summer.  He’s been blogging at the VirginiaPatriot and criss-crossing his home state gathering support and feedback as he considers mounting a campaign should long-time Senator John Warner join many incumbent Republicans who […]

Best new program on TV - CALIFORNICATION

Seriously I do not watch a whole lot of TV.  I know that frequent readers may think differently because last season I made a commitment to watch and review every episode of 24 - and I think I did so in an unbiased (and very disappointed) fashion.  Then this last two weeks I was pimping Spike TV’s summer […]

Hurricane trivia time

I bring this up because today is […]

New GOP Straw Poll

Some of you may be wondering about the absence of Ron Paul from this months straw poll. Let me explain. After my decision to include Ron Paul […]

I am lewd, I have engaged in lewd behavior

With deference to a certain soon to be former US Senator from the state of Idaho…
For the record, so there is no doubt, I occasionally use profane terms and have been known to be sexually unchaste (at least in my misspent youth).
Thus ends my confession.
But how an weak individual is that unnamed Senator from Idaho for not […]

There’s more to be being poor than just ranking number one

Associates all over the local blogosphere and MSM are hailing the news that Cleveland has fallen to number four on the list of America’s poorest cities - which is great until you consider that it’s likely that Cleveland’s population has now dropped below 400,000 and there’s no looking back as we race to 300,000 or […]

That just sucks

With apologies to my dad who thinks I’m too bright to use such throw away language…
From Cleveland’s blogopimp George Nemeth over at Brewed Fresh Daily:

Look no further then the PutItOnTheBallot initiative. When a grassroots campaign to make government more accountable to the electorate fails because it doesn’t have a warchest to hire canvassers and blow […]
