“Leading a Peace Slate to Reclaim our Nation.”

Roadkill.

Run! Cynthia! Run!

Everything you hate about the culture of Washington is symbolized in the little story of GOP Rep. Christopher Shays going ape when challenged by a Capitol police officer. The arrogance. The elitism. The obscenity. The contempt for the common man.

Rest in peace, BP. There’s a No. 72 car waiting for you in the sky. When I used to cover NASCAR, I was near BP’s home track in Rockingham. Benny exemplified the down-home, approachable, good-humored charm that still draws people to NASCAR.
He was one of the best guys to talk to about the old [...]

***update: watch video of McKinney’s friends here .*** (hat tip: Allah)
Finished watching Rep. Cynthia McKinney and friends’ grievance-fest in Atlanta. It was streamed live at WXIA. We were promised “something new.” But the assortment of local race card-wielders lauded McKinney’s leadership, bashed the police, and pounded the anti-racial profiling drum.

One loud [...]

A state-run TV station in Germany just aired a mystery show perpetuating “Bush did it” paranoia theories about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Looks like they’ve been channeling Howard Dean and Cynthia McKinney.
Hat tip to Cassandra at Villanous Company, who says: “Mystery solved.”

President Bush threw a bone to fiscal conservatives in tonight’s speech with these lines:
America’s prosperity requires restraining the spending appetite of the federal government. I welcome the bipartisan enthusiasm for spending discipline. So next week I will send you a budget that holds the growth of discretionary spending below inflation, makes tax relief permanent, and [...]
