Who’s The Likely Nominee in 2016? No One, that’s Who. Now Stop.
No. We are not going to do this now.
Everyone needs a little vacation time and mine happened over the weekend before Halloween. There wasn’t a lot to it — a few days at a quiet B&B, a minor-league hockey game, a couple or three nice dinners out, and a visit to the incomparable SuperMegaProducer Mike and the Take That Media Studios. SMP Mike [...]
The first half of Episode 170 is all about coal and why the Obama administration seems intent on destroying rural Appalachia to appease the crazed environmental left. Debra McCown, a reporter from southerwestern Virginia, joined me to talk about the town of Grundy, VA and its fight to use its own resources to revive its [...]
Episode 169 was one of those shouty affairs that happen once in a while. I had come across this article about how a doctor dopes children with anti-psychotics and ADHD drugs so their lazy parents and half-baked teachers won’t have to expend more than the minimal amount of effort to raise them and, well, it [...]
Andrew Malcom and Melissa Clouthier have a show that’s less a pair of talking heads and more a couple of very smart family members hashing out the problems of the world on the front porch after dinner.
Profile the second, with a pronounced Canadian flavor. It’s bacon with a hint of really good beer, in case you’re curious.
In this, the first post in an ongoing series, I give you the scoop one of the best daily podcasts going!
It’s not every week I can have two people on the show who are quite as accomplished and forthcoming with great advice as I did in Episode 168. Kristina Ribali, the social media Queen of FreedomWorks, and Jim Lakely, the communications director of the Heartland Institute spent the hour talking about the importance of stories. [...]
I have quite a bit of catching up to do on these show posts. Time and tight schedules get us all from time to time and, well, I got gotten good. Episode 167 has a few nifty little riffs, if I do say so myself, on the subject of media bias and how it played [...]
If you’re interested in making a living as a freelancer, Fred Hicks , who knows freelancing from both sides, has a couple bits of advice for you. First is: Answer your emails super-promptly. The gal who returns inquiries quickly is going to stand out. She’s first in line, every time. — Fred Hicks (@fredhicks) November [...]
I like when I’m on the same side of an issue as Stephen Green. Here’s a bit of his open letter to Speaker John Boehner. I’ll repeat: Give President Obama and the Democrats the tax hikes they demand, and which most polls show the American public accepts. You’ll let us avoid the fiscal cliff — [...]
Compare and contrast. This was House Speaker John Boehner’s post-election move. On a conference call with House Republicans a day after the party’s electoral battering last week, Speaker John A. Boehner dished out some bitter medicine, and for the first time in the 112th Congress, most members took their dose. Their party lost, badly, Mr. [...]
Less than a week after winning a second term, President Barack Obama has unveiled his first true priority — higher tax rates on “the wealthy”. House Speaker John Boehner quickly adopted a supine position, which he only hemi-demi-semi-repented after a sharp kick in the caboose from the Republicans he, in theory, represents. Let me lay [...]
Okay, I have a few concerns* about the movie adaptation of World War Z, but this trailer is awfully good. Awfully. Good. *I still don’t buy Brad Pitt as an action hero, or even as a leading man. He doesn’t command my attention when he’s on-screen. I’m not thrilled that they narrowed a book of [...]
I’m not looking to start a conversation on immigration reform here. Wait, that’s not entirely true. I’m not looking to be part of a conversation on immigration reform. I don’t believe it’s possible to have such a conversation without buckets full of acrimony and more strawmen than Barack Obama in a press conference on the [...]
I don’t have a huge point here, but I want to leave one little fact on which we may want to gnaw like a meaty thigh bone for a few days. Erick Erikson wrote a post at Red State in which he said this: It is time to throw the social conservatives out of the [...]
This strikes me as very, very important. More facts to face: the media is liberal. The news organizations are liberal. They protected their candidate. And it worked. But that’s part of the hand that we conservatives have been dealt. That ain’t gonna change. We need to figure out a way to win despite the fact that [...]
I wrote this post not long after I finished recording this week’s episode of The Delivery when the election returns were pouring in like a flow from a backed-up sewer. I admit right up front it’s not carefully-edited and I didn’t plan any of it out. I simply wrote and hit the “Publish” button. That’s [...]
Maybe it’s not fair to say that NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg has become so much like a crazed Roman Emperor that he’s going to put his horse on the city council, but he does have the whole “give them bread and circuses” thing down pat. He stood up today to defend his decision to hold [...]
