Okay, as earlier today, just keep scrolling down -latest posts will be on top. Althouse also live blogging as is Melissa Clouthier More here. First remarks from the Obama team is weak – very weak – “Her speech was written for her.” Wow. THAT has never been true of any politician before! I think the Obama camp must be worried, so they’re doing what Democrats always do when they’re worried, they’re going after George W. Bush (Hypothetically) Full Text of... Read more
I’m liveblogging the RNC convention and the Giuliani/Palin speeches here Regarding Gov. Sarah Palin, the press and the Angry Left remind me of those beetles in the film The Mummy – the pass over something in a swarm and it is destroyed and stripped bare…we must be reaching the climax of Palinsanity, or will do so tonight, because I don’t see how this intense, unhinged hate can go much further. But haters always manage to surprise me…There is so much... Read more
Some of my friends and I are wondering at the utter silence of Hillary Clinton since Gov. Palin’s introduction last Friday. Aside from her generic “we should all be proud” statement, Mrs. Clinton has been pretty mum, and my friends and I have been wondering about it, in a “so much for sisterhood” sort of way. You’d think Hillary – a “lifelong advocate for women and children” – would be stepping up, mildly, even, to ask her Angry Left friends... Read more
In an email, Steve Schippert of Threatswatch sent this piece by Victor Davis Hanson, on Why We Like Palin So Much – I personally think much of it is due to her authenticity – but I liked the whole piece and was taken with this excerpt: If she can beat off the frothing Newsweek/MSNBC/New York Times inbred rabid wolves, and do it with the grace she has shown so far, she will fill a deep yearning among Americans for someone...

Reader gs was nice enough to locate this video of the brouhaha between Campbell Brown and the McCain Team’s Tucker Bounds. I’m sure it’s going to get lots of attention. My take: McCain either needs to get Bounds up to speed very quickly or cut him loose. He should have been ready for Brown’s questions, and he should have been ready for her rather obnoxious “Jane Curtain Weekend Update” tone (a little nasally, there, too). He clearly wasn’t. Her questions... Read more
As regular readers know, I watch very little-to nothing by way of tv news, unless it’s breaking, but I thought I’d watch a bit of the convention tonight. I’m still going to try. But honestly, after flipping from cable channel to cable channel and discovering I just couldn’t abide any of those people, not on CNN, not on MSNBC (I used to like Matthews, but my GAWD he looks and sounds like a damn crank, anymore), not on FOX. Tossing... Read more
Buttons thanks to Shana! Althouse coined the word “Palinsanity” and one of her commenters made a palindrome to describe the whole movement of the left and the press: Harassarah….that would be, Harass Sarah. It’s all they can do, because the left is clearly out of its collective mind over this woman, and they’re only going to get worse. And it’s all going to backfire on them. Big time. And the left is utterly destroying their own credibility with regards to... Read more
I just need to ask it. Let me state up front that I believe Sex Education is the responsibility of parents, and that a part of responsible parenting is comprehensive sex education: talking clearly, openly and often with your kids about human sexuality, natural urges, hygiene, masturbation, abstinence, forms of birth control etc, along with moral guidance reflecting your family’s belief system or “humanist” ethics. Does anyone know what the sex-ed curriculum is in Alaska? Having endured sex education in... Read more
Someone has very kindly made a donation to the site via the Amazon Honor System button, but I do not have their name to thank them, so allow me to thank you here. I am very grateful! My husband and I have calculated that I make less than minimum wage at blogging, and we’ll not be able to continue like that for much longer, so your donation means a great deal – it helps keep the blog going and helps...

I’d just finished whipping out my credit card and donating to McCain/Palin again when I saw this, (H/T Lorie Byrd) and it almost made me donate again, except I’m broke. This MAN – who I will not link to – suggests, with absolutely no knowledge of anything, because before 4 days ago Sarah Palin was not even a blip on his radar: I DO think she [Palin] flew at a dangerous time in her pregnancy and then took her time...
