How are you celebrating the holiday? Charles Lemos listens to the Broadway musical 1776 every year on the 4th of July. Sounds like a good' [...]
Have a Happy 4th! I thought it would be appropriate to share the text of the document that started it all 233 years ago.
The Declaration of Independence
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

Here in Iowa… If you’re idea of a Tea Party has more to do with calling out the government than cookies and crumpets… You May Be A TEAPublican!

Takin’ It To The Streets
Ok last post today, and probably this weekend about this bombshell news, unless something else breaks over the weekend. I doubt it though. I’ve been reading different reactions/responses, a lot of speculation out there.
Erick Erickson had a few additional thoughts about this news, and he made [...]
For some reason, when I first saw that Sarah Palin was quitting as Governor of Alaska, I wondered if it was an instance of life imitating art -- specifically, "Prison Break"'s season 2, episode 19 ("Sweet Caroline"), in which President Caroline Reynolds surprisingly announces her resignation.

The former Republican vice-presidential candidate caught everyone by surprise with the announcement today. Most anticipated Palin was going to announce she wouldn't be making a re-election bid for governor in' [...]
When we had the chance to see Sarah Palin in 2008, just a few days before the election, it was as a vice presidential candidate. The next time we see her in Northwest Iowa, it will be with Palin sniffing a presidential bid or fully [...]
She just tweeted this:
We’ll soon attach info on decision to not seek re-election… this is in Alaska’s best interest, my family’s happy… it is good, stay tuned.
More as I learn more.
Update: Scratch that, she’s resigning from KTUU:
WASILLA, Alaska — In a stunning announcement, Gov. Sarah [...]
But surprisingly, it's Alaska Governor Sarah Palin who announced plans to resign without [...]
Some of the saddest laughs you’ll ever get. Here’s a woman whose marriage is in ruin because her husband had an affair. And whose fault is that? The liberals, of course! Nobody used to have affairs back in the good old days. Yep…when your Republican governor husband cheats on [...]
Here in Iowa the end of June was a rough patch for Republican politics, depending what type of Republican you are. Depending on what kind of Republican you are is the question.
We all heard in the news how South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford let loved ones and [...]
Jeff Traviss says the problem is in your antenna, not your set. TV tech talk. Then law and judges. Judicial tyranny. Lt. Col Brian Birdwell and Professor Herb Titus talk about restraining lawless courts. The story of the Star Spangled Banner. Powerful.
