Rick Sanchez: Powerful Men Admire Rick Sanchez
Via Allahpundit, first class comedy gold. Rick Sanchez probably possessed modesty at some point but he ran it over while driving drunk after a football game. “Everybody admires it. Other men, and especially men who seem to be powerful men, I notice–I’m talking like a dime or nickel psychologist here, if you’ll permit me–will always [...]

24. August 2010
Senator John McCain (R-AZ), who has tacked right in his pursuit to win again the Republican nomination for United States Senate in Arizona, is headed for an easy victory this evening. Polls show the multi-term incumbent, known for angering conservatives with his “maverick” behavior, having successfully beaten back a challenge from J.D. Hayworth. Hayworth just [...]
Florida Republican Gubernatorial Race Remains Tight
24. August 2010
Who will win the Republican nomination for governor in Florida? Your guess is as good as mine. Polls have Bill McCollum, the Attorney General, and Rick Scott, the wealthy hospital executive, racing to a photo finish. Scott does better with conservatives and younger voters. McCollum does better with senior citizens — an extremely reliable voting [...]
Meek, Rubio Headed For Victory in Florida
24. August 2010
Florida Primary for United States Senate — Republican Former Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives Marco Rubio is headed towards an easy victory in the Florida Republican primary for United States Senate this evening.

Sales of Existing Homes Plummet 27%; Lowest Level In 15 Years
24. August 2010
Sales of previously-occupied homes fell by 27.2% during the month of July, hitting their lowest level in more than 15 years. Must be that patented Obamanomics at work again. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down about 150 points since opening bell. Update: Via Ed, how bad is this morning’s news? Bloomberg was predicting devastating [...]

NY State Exam Slams Christianity, Praises Islam
24. August 2010
Creators of the New York State Regents Exam are apparently big fans of Islam — not such big fans of Christianity. The New York Post reports that the test features text sections that are critical of the latter while praising the former. The most troubling passage came from Daniel Roselle’s “A World History: A Cultural [...]
Politico Threatens To Sue Blogger — Again
23. August 2010
They website’s owners are apparently claiming ownership of the word “politico” — a term found in the dictionary and with a long history in the American vocabulary. This is the second time Allbritton Communications will have gone after this particular blogger, whose site design and branding look nothing like the news website. The only coincidence [...]
“Barack Obama Elementary” Opens In Maryland
23. August 2010
Odds are the name was chosen before The One’s approval rating was underwater. Still, Barack Obama Elementary? Since when do we name public schools — and it is a public school — after relatively new incumbent presidents? It’s a little creepy. Smacks of North Korea. The first school in the D.C. area named after the [...]
Will Jindal Run For President in 2012?
23. August 2010
All signs point to “no” as of now. As Hotline reports, Jindal has yet to establish or even lay the groundwork for a national political infrastructure. His own 527 group apparently hasn’t accepted a donation since January 2009, and expenditures have been solely for administrative purposes. Furthermore, and most noticeably, Jindal has largely stayed on [...]
