Paul Probably Won’t Meet Fundraising Goal

Will Rep. Ron Paul meet his goal of raising $4 million this month?
No.
There’s less than seven hours left and $1.43 million to go.
Will Paul supporters take this as a sign their candidate isn’t the juggernaut they imagine him to be?
Absolutely not.
[I’m trying to ween myself off Ron Paul posts. Honest.]
UPDATE: I feel like I’m […]

Debate Overkill

I give some of the last words on UFOs and Presidential candidates to Ed Morrissey:
No, the big news from the debate is that MSNBC thinks UFOs are so important that it has to ask about them in a presidential debate. Had they simply wanted to confirm Kucinich’s supposed sighting of one, the network could have […]

Those Poor Pumpkins; Update: Don’t Forget Reformation

Happy Halloween

19 | Hilarious Stuff at JibJab | Funny Pictures at JibJab
UPDATE: I was politely reminded that it’s Reformation Day too. (All Catholic readers, please ignore.) If you want to have a belated celebration of Martin Luther nailing his 95 Theses and breaking off from the Catholic Church Old Lutheran has your 2007 Reformation Party […]

Two Democrats End Their Presidential Chances

At the debate tonight, Rep. Dennis Kucinich actually said he saw a UFO. Not that he had any chance of winning the nomination, but it’s surely over now.
Then there’s Sen. Barack Obama. This picture will require plenty of spinning, and there’s no good way to wiggle out of it.
UPDATE: Gov. Bill Richardson has shot himself […]

Paul Fans Spam; I’m Shocked!

I must be a glutton for punishment. I’m again posting on Rep. Ron Paul and risking that his swarm of internet supporters pile onto this humble weblog. But when the material is this good I can’t help myself. The latest is a group of academics discovering “a new spam campaign dedicated to proclaiming him victorious […]

Gravel Has Been “Censored”

Mike Gravel is being “oppressed” by GE. Click above to see a shot of his website.
Here’s the text:
Urgent Message
From Senator Mike Gravel
Monday, October, 29, 2007
Friends,
Corporate censorship has taken over. I have been excluded unfairly from the MSNBC Debate at Drexel University this Tuesday.
I won’t have it!

“Boom! Ballgame”

Filed under Sports

That’s what Tony Kornheiser said last night after Brett Favre won the game with one sling of the football. Occasionally he gets it right. Just before the game started Kornheiser’s essay was about athletes who you had to watch because that person could do something amazing at any moment. Tony mentioned Tiger Woods and Michael […]

Club for Growth: Paul “Opposes Progress”

I’m on a Rep. Ron Paul kick. So be it. Interesting stuff has come out. The latest being the Club for Growth’s white paper. The fiscal conservative group has plenty of nice things to say about Paul, but their problem with him is political reality:
When it comes to limited government, there are few champions as […]

The MySpace-ification of Captain’s Quarters

Annoyance alert!
Ed Morrissey has been playing with the BlogTalkRadio player on his weblog. I read this disturbing note about the progress:
First, as some of you may have discovered today, I have been working with my BlogTalkRadio player. We have had people working on the issue with player volume on autostart, and we needed to test […]

Ann Coulter Likes Eating with Gays

We have further proof Ann Coulter is more about creating controversy to sell books and live the high life. Rick Jacobs happened to be eating at the same West Hollywood restaurant as Coulter.
Toward the end of dinner, one of my companions insisted that the painfully thin, emotive, long blond haired thing in a small black […]

Think Progress Pettiness

Baseball: the American pastime. Even with the recent labor struggles and steroid scandals there’s something pure about watching the game. For a few hours fans escape to watching men hit and throw a ball over picture-perfect grass and manicured dirt.
Think Progress decided to continue the Left’s notion from the 1960s that every is political. They […]

A Hot, But Misguided Girl

Ron Paul Girl - Register Now! - video powered by Metacafe
Yes, the girl is hot. Yes, she speaks well. I could even get past the fact she’s supporting Rep. Ron Paul. But did she really say, “Do they [Republicans] sometimes seemingly start wars for no reason? Yes.”
Forget it. This female is not in touch […]

Big Spending Hillary

Don Surber discovered Sen. Hillary Clinton’s Presidential operation is bigger than the Charleston, WV government:
As of Sept. 30, she had hired 697 people, and raised just slightly less than $80 million.
Charleston’s budget is less than $70 million.
It takes a village.
This is the standard Democratic modus operandi: throw a bunch of money at a problem.
“Clinton’s Fundraising […]
