Guest Post by Morbo This week, I was given a top-secret Republican Party strategy document by a highly placed source who must remain unnamed. This is the GOP plan to get the Bush presidency back on track and help the Republicans sweep November’s elections. As usual, it is bold and visionary. It lays out the […]
Guest Post by Morbo Rabbi [tag]Eric Yoffie[/tag], president of the Union for Reform Judaism, the most [tag]liberal[/tag] branch of Judaism in America, journeyed to Lynchburg, Va., recently to speak at the Rev. [tag]Jerry Falwell[/tag]’s Liberty University. I admire Yoffie’s gumption, and I salute much of what he said. For example, he told the students that […]
I’m afraid I have to take a rare day off away from the computer today, but never fear, I’ve lined up some reinforcements. First, Morbo will be in soon with a couple of entertaining words of wisdom, followed by a few guest posts from The Reaction‘s Michael J.W. Stickings. There will, of course, be a […]
The president hosted a rare Rose Garden press conference this morning with a few interesting exchanges, but this one stood out for me. Q: In talking about gas prices, in 2001, when you did your first energy policy, and gas prices were about $1.50, a lot of people were saying, you know, you have to […]
In part four in my ongoing look at media events gone horribly awry, I give you Speaker Dennis Hastert. (here are parts I, II, and III) With gas prices soaring, this probably seemed like a terrific photo-op. If only [tag]Hastert[/tag] could have stayed away from his [tag]SUV[/tag] for a little longer. The Republican House leadership, […]
To update a post from last month, you may recall that Bush recently signed a spending bill into law despite the fact that it never actually passed the House. Pesky details. It’s supposed to be a pretty straightforward system. The House and Senate pass the same bill, the president signs it, it’s a law. In […]
The good news is a Republican senator is offering some tough talk when it comes to the president’s [tag]warrant[/tag]less-search program. The bad news is it’s [tag]Arlen Specter[/tag]. The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Thursday he might seek to block funding of a domestic [tag]eavesdropping[/tag] program in an effort to force the Bush administration […]
I’ve noticed that a lot of conservative blogs are rallying behind United 93. With this in mind, I can only imagine how they’ll react to this. [tag]Ayn Rand[/tag]’s most ambitious novel may finally be brought to the bigscreen after years of false starts. Lionsgate has picked up worldwide distribution rights to “[tag]Atlas Shrugged[/tag]” from Howard […]
A few weeks back, I mentioned a campaign ad so bizarre, it was hard to believe it was true. The candidate is North Carolina’s [tag]Vernon Robinson[/tag], and if you weren’t paying close attention, you’d swear the guy was a parody of a loony right-wing candidate. Except he’s all-too real. Last month, it was Robinson’s desire […]
When Bush needed someone to head the Small Business Administration, he turned to [tag]Hector Barreto[/tag], a former Republican fundraiser who had no experience or relevant qualifications. The New Republic, with good reason, named him one of the administration’s top “hacks.” As is usually the case with Bush’s partisan cronies, the SBA was mismanaged and slammed […]
