In case you hadn’t been reading us already. I’ll be crossposting everything shortly.

Convention 2008: Barack Obama vs. Sarah Palin: Superman comes to the Acropolis, and Smalltown Sarah comes to the Heartland

September 3, 2008

“My understanding is that Gov. Palin’s town, Wassilla, has I think 50 employees. We’ve got 2500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe 12 million dollars a year – [my campaign has] a budget of about three times that just for the month.” “This is a man who can give an entire speech […]

Convention 2008: Hillary the Sixties Feminist, Palin the 21st Century Feminist

September 3, 2008

Gov. Palin’s speech was directed not just at the audience in the chamber, but at the Clinton primary voters across the Midwest who could hear much in this speech that they could agree with. It did so by reframing, in powerful terms, the conservative reaction to the political tide of the sexual revolution and liberal […]

Convention 2008: Teddy Roosevelt is at the GOP

September 2, 2008

Josh Trevino, Redstate co-founder, encounters President Roosevelt. “Colonel Roosevelt at your service, sir!” “Colonel Roosevelt, lovely to meet you.” “And where are you from, young man?” “I’m from Texas, Colonel Roosevelt.” “Texas! Why, I trained my Rough Riders at Fort Sam Houston!” “You certainly did, Colonel!” “And have you had a bully time at this […]

Convention 2008: Bristol Palin’s Brave Choice

September 1, 2008

Well, that’s one way to rebut a rumor. The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said on Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child. Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin’s five […]

It’s finally arrived. Eight sports: Fantasy Football. Baseball. Basketball. Hockey. NASCAR. Golf. NCAA Football Pickem. March Madness. Ten players: Tom, Emily, Jeff, Ellis, Brad, Kevin, Chris, Leon, Andy (the pro), and me. One league: The Ultimate Fantasy Sports League. Yeah, we know. It’s crazy. But we’re doing it. Because this is America. And we can.

The Pride and the Glory of Marvelous Madden Mishaps

August 22, 2008

I‘m sure many of you who love 1) football and 2) video games with the obsessive passion I do are fully familiar with the much-debated EA Sports monopoly – thanks to a ginormously expensive arrangement, they are the sole licensee of the National Football League, and use it to produce a handful of games – […]

One Last Sunday

August 21, 2008

(Originally posted in December of 2002 – It’s Hall of Fame induction time, and it reminded me.) My goal is not only to end a career but to be launched into a future that produces a light and carries out the purpose of God. With all this great joy, something in my heart has always […]

The Case for McCain-Cantor – WashTimes Oped

August 20, 2008

My latest oped in The Washington Times seems to be suffering from a CMS-based problem that cuts off the first sentence. Thankfully, if you got the paper on Monday, you know what it says. But in case you didn’t, here’s the lede: The news last week that Virginia Congressman Eric Cantor had been contacted for […]

Slow Dancing with Death

August 18, 2008

This is, as the alcoholics refer to it, a moment of clarity.
