"WTF?" will be an occasional series of entries on Conservative Blogger when a politician does something so mind-boggling, that the first response out of my mouth is...well..."WHAT THE F***?"

Have you looked at the value of your 401(k) retirement account recently?

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I officially endorse John Stephen in the upcoming Republican Primary for New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District.
I've been fortunate enough to meet and speak with John on a couple of occasions and I've sincerely been impressed by him. John has served as [...]
One of my favorite bloggers, Debbie Schlussel, writes this morning about one of the most asinine things I've ever heard:
From the New York Times:
Emily Nordling has never met a Muslim, at least not to her knowledge. But this spring, Ms. Nordling, a 19-year-old student from Fort [...]
As a conservative and a blogger, I'd have to say that one of the most frustrating thing about reading other [read: liberal] blogs is that they think they know what my conservatism means. They attribute all kinds of racist/bigoted/homophobic stereotypes and present that as their definition--and it's one that's widely [...]
In a 5-4 ruling yesterday, the Supreme Court upheld the lower court ruling that a firearms ban in the District of Columbia was unconstitutional. From what I've heard, it was the first real challenge of the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution in over 200 years.
In essence, the Court decided [...]
One of the funniest sources for satire in this country has long been The Onion. I saw this video on MySpace today and I had a good laugh at this. I hope you do, too...

Sad news at this hour: Tim Russert, the longest-serving host of television's longest-running program--NBC's "Meet The Press"--died today in Washington after suffering a heart attack. He was 58 years old.
He was, not uncharacteristically, at work at the Washington Bureau of NBC News.
To say that I'm stunned is an understatment. There [...]
The topic of the day in other parts of Al Gore's Interwebs seems to be the blame game as it relates to the prices you and I are paying at the pump for gasoline.
I don't have to tell you we're paying through the nose. We are. It cost me [...]
From MSNBC.com:
WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton met late Thursday with Barack Obama, a day after saying she would end her quest for the Democratic nomination and endorse the Illinois senator.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, accused organizer and mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, stood in a courtroom today and told a military judge in a Guantanamo Bay courtroom that he wants the death penalty for his crimes--so he can be martyred.
All five also rejected representation by [...]
So, my girlfriend and I went to the movies twice in the last seven days. (Who says that people spend less on entertainment in this economy?)
On Monday, I saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I hated it. No...I f***ing hated it. I hated it to the [...]
Sometimes, the best entertainment is completely free.
For the last several months, I've been able to sit back and watch as the Democrat party has just imploded upon itself. Yesterday, it culminated in a deal which pretty much guarantees Barack H. Obama's status as the presumptive nominee of the Dems.
As a [...]
Some of you might recall that four years ago, I wound up attending the smallest Memorial Day parade I've ever seen here in New Hampshire. It was no longer than five minutes in length and I thought it was one of the best parades I've ever seen.
This year, my [...]
[Note: This is completely unsoliicted and I found out about this movie while listening to Glenn Beck today. This is not a paid advertisement and I have received no compensation of any form from the producers/distributors of this documentary for writing about this movie.]

Following up on a blog entry I made four years ago, the remains of US Army Staff Sergeant Matt Maupin have been located in Iraq and he is finally coming home to his family.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer (with hat tip to the always great Michelle Malkin):
Maupin's remain [...]
Well, where do I begin...
It's been a rough month. As many of you have noticed, I've been absent from the normal blogging routine. It's got nothing to do with the election or my despair over the choices for November being Barack/Voldemort vs. McCain.
It starts back on Leap Year Day and [...]
The great columnist George Will once wrote, "All great biblical stories begin with Genesis.

I've been thinking. I'm prone to do that. I don't claim to be a genius or anything, but I do think a lot.
I was walking through the grocery store the other day and I was considering Al Gore's sermon on global warming. I mean, he seriously believes that the polar [...]
It's official.

Some of you noticed that I made a "throw-away reference" in another entry to a story that had received some play regarding Republican Presidential Candidate and Texas Congressman, Dr. Ron Paul. For years, Dr. Paul published a newsletter to supporters under a couple of different names like the "Ron [...]
