Others Moving to Romney

Former Fred Thompson campaign co-chair Liz Cheney announced she was joining the Mitt Romney campaign as a foreign policy adviser.
In news for the conservative blogosphere Ed Morrissey endorsed Romney:
First, I want to have someone who supports conservative values. In this, we have no perfect candidates. Fred Thompson came closest, but he quit, and I’m not [...]

My Fridge Doesn’t Need a Firmware Upgrade

Filed under Tech

Glenn Reynolds points out this Amazon weblog post on upgrading the firmware in a high-def disk player. Sure it will solve problems, but making users deal with electronics’ software is a level of complexity that will only aggravate users.
My television never needed a firmware upgrade. Neither did my VCR and DVD player. When I [...]

Obama Leaves Carnage in South Carolina

Bill Clinton compared Sen. Barack Obama to Jesse “Shakedown” Jackson while his wife got crushed in South Carolina. Coincidence?
Sen. Clinton may end up with the Democratic nomination, but how many alienated Democrats will be working hard for her in the fall? She could win the nomination battle but lose the electoral war. If that happened [...]

It’s About Time

Jonathan Chait joined the party in understanding the Clintons are people hell-bent on claiming the White House. It only took him and some fellow liberals ten years to realize this.
Bill’s more power-hungry than Sen. Clinton. You can tell by the way he’s become the primary attack dog against Sen. Obama. Then when someone calls [...]

Boycott Chuck Norris

One of my ex-Thompson co-workers, Darrel Ng started up the Boycott Chuck Norris website. We both like Mike Huckabee as much as Green Bay Packers fans like Lawrence Tynes. Going after his cheesy celebrity endorser is what’s called “low-hanging fruit.”
I’m not a huge fan of boycotts, but this one is pretty easy for me. I [...]

Mitt vs. McCain: Dueling Videos

Mitt Romney and Sen. John McCain put out some new videos going after each other. I like “contrast” ads (to use Mitt’s terminology). Voters need to know the differences between candidates in order to make an informed decision. I wish Fred Thompson ran a contrast ad other than “Revolution” at the GOP YouTube debate.
Mitt reminds [...]

NY Times Endorses John McCain

An endorsement from the NY Times isn’t something a Republican should brag about. Erick Erickson is right. Sen. John McCain should reject the endorsement. But then, that’s not “Maverick’s” style:
In a separate piece, the Times — which leans toward the Democrats on the editorial page — endorsed Sen. John McCain of Arizona as the best [...]

He didn’t take Fred Thompson’s withdrawal well.

What About Mitt?

I see there’s talk about following my lead if I endorse Mitt Romney. Well, first I haven’t endorsed anyone. Yesterday was my official last day on the campaign. I’m still catching my breath. I’ve thought a little about what GOP candidate I’ll vote for, but that’s different than endorsing.
Second, most of you probably don’t know [...]

It’s Over

The Fred Thompson campaign is over.
I’ve received a number of e-mails about starting up a write-in campaign. While I understand the passion it’s misguided energy. If Fred didn’t do better than third when he was in the race do you really expect him to do better as a write-in? That doesn’t make any sense.
Our [...]

Fred Thompson Leaves Race

I’m a free agent now.
UPDATE: Mitt Romney issued this statement:
Throughout this campaign, Fred Thompson brought a laudable focus to the challenges confronting our country and the solutions necessary to meet them. He stood for strong conservative ideas and believed strongly in the need to keep our conservative coalition together. Ann and I would like to [...]

WordPress.com Offers 3GB of Space

WordPress.com announced they’re offering 3 GB of weblog space with their free service. That’s impressive.
When you combine that with their domain mapping for $10/year I’m wondering why I bother with paying about $120/year having DreamHost host TAM?
I’ve had serious problems the last year or so with DH. I’m not sure if I should trust a [...]

I can’t remember if I’ve posted this before, but I’m Twittering now. I also put a badge on TAM.
More importantly do any of you care?

The show will take place Sat. Aug 30 at the same lakefront site where Elton John played to mark Harley’s 100th birthday bash.
