Jeb Bush’s Oh-So-Very-Faint Praise For Sarah Palin

February 25, 2010

Darn Jeb Bush.  I’ve always liked him, and now he goes and does this.  Insinuating that Sarah Palin isn’t ‘intellectually curious’ enough to occupy the White House was not only unnecessary, but patently false.
What more do we need in a president than a vibrant love for America, a desire to see America strong economically and [...]

Three hundred eight million, seven hundred thirty-nine thousand, one hundred forty-four.  308,739,144.  That’s the population of the United States as of today, February 23, 2010.  Over three hundred million of us, and we’re at the mercy of 51 men and women in the Senate of the United States.
Reconciliation.  The nuclear option.  We’ve been [...]

CPAC, Beck, and Levin

February 22, 2010

Like many others, I watched some of the CPAC coverage throughout the event.  I liked Liz Cheney’s speech very much, missed Marco Rubio’s speech though I’ve read it was great, and wanted to hear Allan West, but missed it.  I saw the wrap-up, and watched and listened to Glenn Beck’s speech, and liked it, but [...]

Three Killed at University of Alabama By Woman Driven Crazy By Conservatives

February 16, 2010

No, I haven’t actually seen that headline, but it wouldn’t surprise me.  The hypocrisy and deception of the leftist public relations firms, what we formerly called “journalists,” is amazing.  Never failing to point to conservative talk radio hosts, FOX News, and “right-wing” bloggers as partially or even fully responsible for shootings attributed to “right-wing extremists,” [...]

Evan Bayh has announced that he will not seek re-election for his US Senate seat representing Indiana.  This is big news, and completely unexpected.  As of three days ago, Bayh was leading in the polls by 20 points.  In every poll done, matching him against various opponents, he had the [...]

Great Olympic Moment: Franz Klammer’s Gold Medal Run, Innsbruck 1976

February 14, 2010

I still remember watching this and thinking, “that’s how I feel when I’m skiing the bunny hill.”  Completely out-of-control.  But not so out-of-control for Klammer, who careened to a gold medal after this amazing run.

Favorite Olympic Moments: 1988 Calgary, Midori Ito

February 13, 2010

I love the Olympics.  In 1968 ABC  televised the Winter games live and in color for the first time ever, and I was 16.  I will never forget the image of Peggy Fleming gliding over the ice.
So many wonderful, poignant, tearful, proud moments are from Olympic games.  I’m going to be sharing some of my [...]
