Filed Under Announcements, Politics | 3 Comments

It’s that day of the year that I’ll be once again hoping President Obama goes on TV and yells “April Fool,” finally revealing that it’s all been an elaborate joke — but unfortunately I doubt that’s going to happen. One story I’ve noticed a lot of outlets passing along is Paul Bedard’s article at US [...]

St. Patrick’s Day: The Bar is Open

Filed Under Announcements | 5 Comments

My favorite holiday of the year is upon us, but I can’t say that without acknowledging those who are working the hardest today: cabbies and bail bondsmen.

I’ve got a half-dozen things to take care of this morning, so here’s the open thread Nanny requested a couple of weeks ago (better late than never).

The Fab 50 Blog Awards: You Like Me! You Really Like Me!

Filed Under Announcements | 14 Comments

Groucho once said that “any club that would have me as a member isn’t worth joining,” and I agree with that when it comes to almost everything except Doug Ross’s “Fab 50″ blog awards. Michelle Malkin was named “Best Political Blog” and I share the “Best Pinch Hitter” honors for my guest-host duties at Michelle’s [...]
