I realize you get that sense of edgy rebellion by calling our governor “Timmy”. And ordinarily I’d not be the one to rain on your parade, however pathetic “your parade” would seem to be.
However, he was elected by a plurality of your neighbors – twice. ...

I think it’s unlikely, but far from impossible, that the GOP will take the US House back in 2010; beyond the historical tradition of the president losing seats at midterm, I think that there’s a lot of generalized dissatisfaction with the Administration out there. It’s easy ...

Last week, I wrote about the U of M Department of Education’s plan to screen Education majors – aka “future teachers” – for political purity.

Y’know, I have to confess – two weeks ago, when I ribbed the local “Minnesota Netroots Conference” – the last thing I’d have expected was that any of them would actually be reading me. Partly because, I’ll be honest, my readership among local ...

By the way – posting’s been zephyr-light over this holiday weekend (although I see Roosh and Doug have contributed – bully, lads!), and I’ll confess I needed a bit of a break.
And the show’s off today, too – we’re taking our traditional Thanksgiving day ...

…living in the midst of a burdensome if not oppressive government, gorging itself on the citizens it was created to serve.
We may find ourselves in the very same predicament the pilgrims of Plimoth risked their lives to flee.

The Northern Alliance Radio Network – King, John, Brian, Ed and I – are all taking the day off today to observe the Thanksgiving holiday.

I tried this online game thingie – ten minutes to remember every country in Asia and the Middle East.

Every year, I try to think if I can write a better Thanksgiving piece than I wrote seven years ago, for this blog’s first Thanksgiving.

I came across this quotation allegedly by Newt Gingrich today:
“I am not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, but that America gave him the White House based on the same credentials.”
Hah, hah. It’s funny cuz it’s ...

Here’s one for the Hall of Shame.
A few months ago, US Census worker Bill Sparkman was found dead. The death was suspicious – he was found hanging, with anti-government graffiti scrawled on his chest.
