SLANTblog:- Of the most current personalities of the powerful angry-throwback wing of the Republican Party, who's most likely to become the next cable news talk-show superstar?

SLANTblog:- The handbill above is one I did for a fundraiser in Sept. 1972. (R. Crumb's trucking man style was deliberately imitated in the McGovern caricature trying to appeal to hippies.)

SLANTblog:- The staff was in a partying mood on Feb. 11, 1974.

Elephant Ears:- Now that we have lost the Senate majority, we need to find a way to get it back. This is obviously a long process that will not happen for at least 4 years (unless an unforseen opening occurs). Even so, the GOP needs to start doing things to position themselves to retake the Senate in 2011; and also hold the House in 2009.

Brown Hound:- I am embarrased by how long it's been since I've actually put a post up here. I have been blogging here as well as on a blog that you can't get to from here.

Conservative Propaganda:- Penn & Teller give their simple message to the suicide skyjackers of September 11 in this video advocating new construction on the site of the World Trade Center, which you can watch here. There is an emotional appeal to rebuilding the fallen World Trade Center even taller than before as a rebuke to the contemptible Islam which sought to knock them down. On the other hand, the World Trade Center was a bad idea, economically and socially, from the beginning. They cleared away a working neighborhood of businesses to make way for the WTC,...

Dogwood Pundit:- If there’s one thing that stinks even more than Climategate, it’s the attempts we’re seeing everywhere from the IPCC and Penn State University to the BBC to pretend that nothing seriously bad has happened, that “the science” is still “settled”, and that it’s perfectly OK for the authorities go on throwing loads more of our money at a problem that doesn’t exist. Read the whole thing here.

From On High:- ... who believe in global warming.  If I were in the same room with them, I'd be looking for the nearest exit:

From On High:- The National Journal's Reid Wilson on the chances that ObamaCare will pass:

From On High:- It just doesn't seem like this is how the lefties in this country meant for it all to turn out:

From On High:- Pelosi: We Must Pass The Health Care Bill So That We Can Find Out What’s In It

From On High:- He came.  He made his sales pitch.  We thanked him for his effort.  We closed the door behind him.

From On High:-

From On High:- My ... view ... of Katie Couric changed forever the day she decided to have a camera stuck up her butt on national television.  I know.  I know.  She's passionately committed to her colon cancer cause.  So she did it to bring awareness ... oh, never mind.  It was a camera.  It was stuck up her butt for all the world to see.

SWAC Girl:- Monday night I wrote:

SW Virginia law blog:- Governor Kaine started the process for Jens Soering to be transferred to Germany and released from prison, as reported here, which seems like a lucky break for Soering on top of the fact that but for his status as a German national he would have likely received the death penalty years ago.

SWAC Girl:- The News Hound is in the house.

SWAC Girl:-

The Jefferson Mammoth:- This news is a couple of days old, but I thought it was worth mentioning the sad passing of Terry Hoeppner from complications of brain cancer. He was the head football coach of the Indiana Hoosiers and former head coach of Miami University. From all accounts he was a good coach and an outstanding man. I hope his family is able to find comfort in knowing that he had a profound effect on many student athletes.

The Roanoke Slant:- Roanoke Times, 2-10-10, Pg 13: Va. Gov. Doug Wilder: Remove DNC chief Kaine and the inexperienced White House staffers.

The Mason Conservative:- I understand the temptation to believe Eric Massa's claim that he was pushed out for his vote on health care, and it might even be true. But lets be honest, do Republicans really want to get in bed, so to...

Equality Loudoun:- Indeed, why can’t the other anti-gay, anti-trans public officials on the rampage just say what they mean? For those who missed it the first time, here’s the full news clip used by the Daily Show. Understandably, folks are disgusted and embarrassed by this - it continues to make Loudoun County, especially Sterling, a laughing-stock. But understand [...]

The Mason Conservative:- I think the reason the Fimian campaign released their internal poll has as much to do refuting the argument by the Pat Herrity people that he is the only electable candidate than it is with Connolly. I don't doubt the...

Vivian J. Paige:- Jon Stewart poked fun last night at Virginia’s Governor, Bob McDonnell and Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli.

Physics Geek:- And Lindsay Graham and John McCain are still self-aggrandizing idiots. Everyone knew-everyone- that the only reason that the Democrats agreed to this was because they were in the minority at the time, and that there was no possible way that...

From Where I Sit...:- We had to put Shadow down today. His quality of life has been sliding downhill for quite some time now. It was a very difficult decision to make, but we know it was the right thing to do. We will miss him very much. He came to us somewhere around Jennifer's 15th birthday. He has survived not only our kids but our grandkids as well. What a wonderful dog. We love you Shadow.

From Where I Sit...:- I just found out this afternoon that one of my cousins had died in a car accident. Mary was much younger than me and, unfortunately, I did not know her very well. Most of my memories of her are from my childhood. And, even then, I really don't remember a lot about her other than both she and her sister looked a lot like their father. However, I had the fortune of meeting her again some 10 or 12 years ago at another cousin's wedding. I found her to be an absolutely lovely young woman. She was beautiful, intelligent, and, in all ways, quite an impressive woman. I am feeling extremely sad that her life should be taken at such a young age. I really wish I had gotten to know her and her family better. I'm embarassed to say that I don't even know if she has any children. I know that her mother, my aunt, must be feeling like her soul has been ripped from her chest. Unfortunately, I have experienced this pain. Joan, there is nothing I can say or do that will take the hurt...

Brown Hound:- The Weekly Standard has a good article titled, "The Palin Effect." The author, Noemie Emery, dissects the effect Sarah Palin has had on the media and Democrats. Here's the money quote:

From On High:- Blogging was light today due to work obligations.  My other gig actually provides some income.  I went with that just for today.

Isophorone:- Former President Bill Clinton took time off from helping the people of Haiti by appearing at a rally for Democratic Massachusetts U.S. Senate candidate Martha Coakley. Sure he gave a stump speech, but we think that if he were candid, he would describe Coakley in much the same way he allegedly described Barack Obama. So just imagine Clinton saying this:

Isophorone:- Or cratering, depending on your point of view . . .

The Jefferson Mammoth:- I'm a week late and $7 short, but better late than never. I wanted to thank Joe Blackburn for stepping up to the plate and challenging Walter Stosch. Every Virginian who values the money in their pocket owes Mr. Blackburn a debt of gratitude.

The Jefferson Mammoth:- I am a big Bengals fan. Yes, I root for that sorry team from Cincinnati. The last time they made the Super Bowl the coach was Sam Wyche. I stumbled across a link yesterday about Wyche running for the Republican nomination for Pickens County (SC) Council. It turns out he defeated the incumbent by a wide margin. Here's hoping he wins the general election and makes a positive difference in that community.

United Conservatives of Virginia:- Culled out

United Conservatives of Virginia:- SEALs Case Shows How Terrorists Use 'Lawfare' to Undermine U.S.

Fred Fry International:- I am not writing about today's story about how the Obama Administration has put recreational fishing in their sights as something else to attack:

Virginia Virtucon:- With Catherine Crabill jumping into the race for the 1st Congressional District, I would like to just pause a moment and imagine the possibilities. Virginia First District has a possibility of the craziest candidates in the country going to battle.  On the left you have the ever extreme liberal Krystal Ball and on the right the [...]
