For Iowa this is big news. It’s even better because tonight Fred starts his Iowa bus tour.

Triticale, Rest in Peace

Filed under Wisconsin

Triticale has been taken away from us. We lost someone with an inquisitive mind and a gentle soul. He was the first person to ever find me in the real world because of my weblog. That made me realize real people read what I have to say. We would meet again at plenty of gatherings. [...]

Stop the Hand Shows

I helped build a web page asking people to stand with Fred Thompson and not bother with the silly games the MSM plays. Take a look and see if my sweat and exhaustion was worth it.

Ron Paul Vs. Hitler

At first I thought the libertarian was fighting one of his supporters.

I was bummed Paul didn’t pull out his copy of the constitution and papercut Hitler to death.

Led Zeppelin Roars Back

Filed under Music

The music gods have blessed the little hunk of rock by allowing Led Zeppelin to not only reunite on stage but play up a storm:
You might think it couldn’t possibly live up to expectations, but, it transpires, the opposite is in fact true of Led Zeppelin’s first public appearance in 17 years.
They seem buoyed by [...]

Thompson Leads in Wisconsin Poll

Fred Thompson has friends in Wisconsin:
A new poll shows that Wisconsin Democrats favor Hillary Clinton for president, and Republicans like Fred Thompson, but no candidate is a clear front runner.

Among Republicans and independents leaning that way, 30 percent said they favored Thompson as their nominee, followed by Rudy Giuliani at 25 percent and John McCain [...]

Playing with Hulu

Hulu invited me to play around with its private beta. So far, the videos play like any other site. I’d embed a clip but it’s too wide for this weblog. I could mess with the code, but that’s a pain when all I want to do is share a clip.
Hulu is interested in letting users [...]

Digg Digs the Packers

Filed under Sports

Digg is not known as a place to find sports stories. It’s a tech news site with other categories slapped onto it. So it’s really strange to see news about the Green Bay Packers winning the NFC North make the front page.

Who knew Digg geeks like Kevin Rose were also Packers fans?

Universities’ Anti-Conservative Bias

Professor Robert Maranto takes a risk and publicizes he’s a Republican. Then he gets into his disappointment with a national university culture that doesn’t accept conservative ideas and thinkers:
Now there is more data backing up experiences like mine. Recently, my Villanova colleague Richard Redding and my longtime collaborator Frederick Hess commissioned a set of studies [...]

NBC Hates Freedom’s Watch

Filed under Media

Yes, Freedom’s Watch has an agenda. But these ads rejected for airing by NBC are innocuous.

They’re on par with one of the best ads I’ve seen in recent years:

Fox had no trouble airing that ad in 2005.
The best explanation is NBC opposes Freedom’s Watch’s mission and so refuses to accept their ad dollars even if [...]

Fred Thompson Challenges Huckabee on Iran

Fred Thompson pushes back at Mike Huckabee’s lackadaisical attitude to foreign policy:
“Not only is Iran the major long-term threat to our country, the nuclear program is the most important part of the Iran consideration. For a presidential candidate not to know that and not to keep up with that is very [...]

Huckabee in the Spotlight

When a Presidential candidate rises in the polls they garner added attention. Media begins to report on them with an intensity they didn’t before. That’s what’s happened to Mike Huckabee. His rise in the polls has caused reporters to dig into his record.
One item Huckabee wants to brush aside is Wayne Dumond, a convicted [...]
