Mississippi on my mind

I just got this email from Mike Huckabee…
Last night was a reminder of what a tough year this will be for Republicans. The loss of the Congressional seat in Mississippi was tough. We had a great candidate, but the Democrat very effectively ran as a pro life, pro 2nd amendment conservative. I’m convinced that for [...]

I hate it when that happens

Kumbaya baby

I was reading about the Republican loss of MS-01 in the CL, trying to figure out how in the cat hair we managed to give that seat away, and for some reason unbeknownst to me, I thought about an old essay written some time back by our pal RT.
I don’t see how anyone can look [...]

Wolverines

Lately, talk show host Laura Ingraham has been promoting an idea for a new movie: a remake of the 80’s classic Red Dawn, with the young people of America fighting against Muslim mufsidun instead of Cuban and Soviet invaders. So far, she hasn’t had any takers.
That may be about to change. [...]

Technologia Aeroespacial Mexicana (TAM), the company behind the Libelula strap-on helicopter, explains on its Web site how the [...]

Red Ken to get the boot?

Voters in London will go to the polls today, and Hizzoner Red Ken Livingstone appears to be on his way out.
Cool.

Does J. Wright Remember the Zebra Killings?

Rev J. Wright has been all over the news for the past few days, and the following was just one of many very revealing comments. His defense of the Nation of Islam, and Louis Farrakhan, at the National Press Club was vintage left-wing “victim politics”…. (HotAir has the clip)
