Well, the inevitable happened - Karl Rove has tendered (interesting word “tender”) his resignation from the White House, and the sharks in the media both mainstream and otherwise are circling looking for some trace of blood upon which to strike.  According to the Wall Street Journal, Rove will leave his 1600 Pennsylvannia Avenue gig by […]

Gay, straight - I don’t care we’re all people, but somone may want to check into all of this discussion about homosexuality being the result of genetics and not choice (or vice versa) - just ask Bill Richardson, he’s still not sure.
HUMOR ALERT - IF THE FOLLOWING IS OFFENSIVE TO YOU, YOU OBVIOUSLY DON’T LIKE […]

Pass the turkey, the stuffing and…
the absentee ballots?
That very well could be the new Thanksgiving tradition if you’re from New Hampshire and plan on celebrating the annual family gathering somewhere other than your own homestead.
Here in South Carolina (where we’re rounding out a few days of r’n’r), the big news this morning in political circles is […]

I’ve been steering clear of the recent raft of CPC’s (Competitive Press Conferences) amongst the candidates for their respective party’s nod for the presidential nomination mostly because the answers that the candidates are supplying are the same ones that I’ve heard since this pre-primary period began.

The site just went up, so there’s nothing posted yet, but I look forward to hearing his informed […]

My latest estimates (and re-inforced by comments from Congressional Quarterly’s Craig Crawford this AM on msNBC’s Morning Joe) indicate that the current batch of candidates for president in 2008 spent over $100 million dollars in the last quarter on their campaigns!  Some of the candidates are burning through over a million dollars a week as they […]

Tonight I should be at the RPCC platform meeting/convention, but given the limited value placed on input from the party’s rank and file members, I figured it might make more sense to work a little bit later and hit the keyboard when I got home.  If somebody has an update on tonight’s RPCC meeting, please […]

I knew this would happen sooner or later, and I’m glad that my friend former Virgina Governor Jim Gilmore chose to step out of the race for president today when it became obvious that his chances were nil.

Statement from former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore
I am today withdrawing my candidacy for the Republican nomination for President.  […]

At the same time word was being given out to the media that the McCain for President […]
