Bush Is Hilarious With Self-Deprecating Humor, While Colbert Bombs
Sunday, April 30th, 2006I didn’t catch the White House Correspondents’ Dinner this weekend because I was out of town attending a baby shower for my sister. It appears that the President’s performance was brilliant (from the clip I caught on Hot Air) and that Steve Colbert’s sucked pretty bad. I am wondering if the clips [...]
What are you Watching?
Sunday, April 30th, 2006I love TV. There are people who proudly proclaim that they don’t own a television. They’re living a stunted husk of a life. I, on the other hand, wouldn’t be able to go very long without my 42″ Plasma and my HDTV/DVR cable box. Here are the shows I have a Season Pass for:
Assume the [...]
2006 Florida Senate Race
Saturday, April 29th, 2006Some have argued that Katharine Harris is going to be the GOP Senate nominee no mater what, so we should support her. However, a Strategic Vision poll indicates that Harris is not the sure bet everyone thought she would be.
32. If the election for the Republican nomination for United States Senator in 2006 were [...]
2006 Florida Senate Race
Saturday, April 29th, 2006It has been asked of me that I present some analysis of the Senate race polls in Florida. To date, I have been reluctant to discuss Florida Senate polls because the conclusion I inevitably drew from them would force me into a distasteful position of having to say that our candidate could not win [...]
2006 Pennsylvania Governor Race
Saturday, April 29th, 2006A new Rasmussen Poll has Republican challenger Lynn Swann leading Democratic incumbent Ed Rendell 44%-41%. Unfortunately, when an independent candidate is included, he wins 16% of the vote, and Rendell moves into a three point lead.
An interesting dynamic seems to be taking place. In spite of the fact that Swann, who trailed by [...]
Words
Saturday, April 29th, 2006Should we start calling burglars “undocumented guests?”
Enforcement
Saturday, April 29th, 2006Pro-invader pundits always claim that it’s impossible to deport everyone who’s already here illegally.
I’ve been saying for more than two years that you don’t have to deport everyone who’s invaded this country. Just make it impossible for them to work (say, by using my simple, humane, cost-effective, two-step plan) and they’ll “deport” themselves the same [...]
Flight 93 And Tipping Point Politics
Saturday, April 29th, 2006Chester posted a review of Flight 93 and discusses the effect he thinks it will have on many. I have not seen it yet, and probably won’t this weekend, but this is one I will definitely be paying to see on the big screen.
Canada is Warming Up to Conservatives
Saturday, April 29th, 2006The latest Decima Research poll indicates the Conservatives are now more popular than when they were elected to form a minority government last January. They have moved into the threshold of a majority government status and have broad appeal to all groups in Canada.
After 13 years of Liberal government our friends in Canada have [...]
Rush Reaches Deal On Prescription Drug Charges
Friday, April 28th, 2006The Palm Beach Post is reporting (link via Lucianne):
Rush Limbaugh was arrested Friday on prescription drug charges, with his attorney saying he has reached a deal with prosecutors that will eventually see the charges dismissed if he continues treatment for drug addiction.
Maybe this means at least one political prosecution has almost ended.
Goodbye Katie
Friday, April 28th, 2006Michelle Malkin, through her webcast, Hot Air, is inviting viewers to submit video goodbyes to Katie Couric. These should be interesting. Extra points if you can include Back Street Boys music. (You really have to follow the link to get that one. Click on Michelle’s picture to view the videocast.)
Update: [...]
2002 Wisconsin Governor Race
Friday, April 28th, 2006The Democratic incumbent in Wisconsin is struggling against his Republican opponent, Congressman Green. He joins fellow Democrats in Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, who are in close races for re-election.
2006 Congressional Races
Friday, April 28th, 2006A NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll last month had the Democrats leading by 13 points in a generic congresssional match-up. The poll this month shows that the Democratic lead has been cut to 6 points.
2006 Rhode Island Senate Race
Friday, April 28th, 2006A new Rhode Island University Poll shows Senator Lincoln Chafee crushing his Democratic opponent, Sheldon Whitehouse, 51%-32%. The Republican incumbent also has a wide lead in the Republican primary over Cranston Mayor Stephen Laffey.
Another Interesting Poll
Friday, April 28th, 2006Yet another interesting poll:
Things You Won’t Read in The Note: A Rasmussen robo-poll reports that a third party candidate who
promised to build a barrier along the Mexican border and make enforcement of immigration law his top priority
beats the generic “Republican” nominee by 9 points– 30 to 21–and runs practically even with the generic “Democratic” nominee [...]
