A Tale of Two Different Budget Plans
23. August 2011
The governors of two states, Maryland and Virginia, have taken two different paths in attempting to manage their respective state budgets.

Democrats Using Huntsman’s Comments Against Republicans
23. August 2011
And to think some people wonder if Huntsman, a former employee of the Obama Administration, is really a loyal Republican. What, you hesitate to make him your nominee just because he worked for Barack Obama, supported cap-and-trade, and his anti-Republican comments have been used by Democrats to attack our side? Clearly you’re a right-wing fringe [...]

22. August 2011
What? You didn’t think they’d really be creating a constitutional republic based on the writings of John Locke and Thomas Jefferson, did you?

Report: Palin Unlikely to Announce at Labor Day Rally
22. August 2011
Take this with a grain of salt. Palin and her people have been known to intentionally screw with the media — even to the point of accusing reporters of doing something they didn’t do. It may be an effort to throw reporters off the scent and then “shock” the world with an announcement. Or maybe [...]
