Wow. We haven’t had a lot on the race in NY-23 lately. The most interesting aspect of the race was Dan Hoffman running in the Conservative Party to challenge the very liberal Republican Dede Scozzafava. Newt Gingrich made waves by endorsing Scozzafava two weeks ago. I listened to Bill Bennet interview Gingrich. He thinks... »

I knew there had to be a reasonable explanation! Growing up in Des Moines, Iowa when we kids would tour the neighborhood begging for candy we were also expected to tell a joke. Of course, I grew up thinking everyone did so. It was not until I moved out to the Great West that... »

Today office buildings and schools that refuse to celebate in any overt way holidays like Christmas and Easter will celebrate a culture of death and demons by celebrating Halloween. But there is something of much more value to celebrate this time of year. Tomorrow, October 31, marks the anniversary of the day Martin Luther... »

I swipped this video from Rush Limbaugh’s site where he has it displayed prominently. It took an Iowan to  confront Commissioner Roger Goodell about his devisive and offensive comments on Rush. Good for Steve King, Iowa, and the country. »

More great articles on politics: Steven Crower (whose site is linked on the left) looks at the pattern of suppressing dissent by the BO administration, “without sounding all crazy and conspiracy theorist-like.” He thinks the Fairness Doctrine is poised to make a come back. Time will tell. One of my favorite pundits is Bill Kristol. His... »

Some interesting articles I’ve found this week: Christopher Hitchens, world renowned atheist, commented on his experience debating Christians. Lots of interesting observations but my favorite is this: “I have discovered that the so-called Christian right is much less monolithic, and very much more polite and hospitable, than I would once have thought, or than most... »

Welcome to Funny Tuesday! As we all know, Tuesday is the worst day of the week. No one does anything special on Tuesday. They get off work, shuffle home and have meatloaf or spaghetti for dinner. Very blasé. So, as a public service, Rev Nev is doing everything we can to liven up Tuesday... »

Put a tick in the win column for Fox News and freedom of speech lovers everwhere. Last week we talked about the egregious shunning of Fox by the White House. Another skirmish broke out when the administration tried to block Fox News from a group interview with the “Pay Czar” Kenneth Feinberg. The White... »

BO is eschewing his responsibilities again. Last week “Pay Czar” Kenneth Feinberg acted to reduce salaries of many highly paid executives at companies who took bailouts. Constitutional issues aside, what is of more concern is that BO claims the Pay Czar acted on his own without the knowledge of the POTUS . Are we... »

Some good stuff out there today: Rush explains the problem with the GOP by looking at the race in New York 23. He hits one of my hotbuttons. The GOP will not rise again until we have strong leaders who are genuinely conservative. Just won’t happen. Found this headline on Drudge. Looks like the economy was... »
