The “National Popular Vote” plan?

Posted by: ST on June 28, 2007 at 7:26 pm » 12 Comments

This is a horrible idea: RALEIGH – Legislators in North Carolina, and other states across the country, are taking a look at changing the way voters elect a president. Under a bill approved by the N.C. Senate last month, North Carolina’s 15 votes in the Electoral College would go to the presidential candidate who wins [...]

 

Ding dong, the immigration bill is dead

For now, anyway. Captain Ed liveblogged today’s Senate vote. The AP has more on the vote. PM Update: I see the congrats are being passed all around the conservative opinion sites and blogs, but this piece from Jim Geraghty stood out to me: So, Mr. President… now that you’ve demonstrated that you’re willing to: –put [...]

 

Breaking: Supremes “limit” use of race in assigning students to public schools

Posted by: ST on June 28, 2007 at 10:37 am » 2 Comments

Via CBS/AP: (CBS/AP) The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected public school assignment plans that take account of students’ race. The decision in cases affecting schools in Louisville, Ky., and Seattle could imperil similar plans in hundreds of districts nationwide, and it leaves public school systems with a limited arsenal to maintain racial diversity. The court [...]

Nancy Pelosi has to ‘remind’ them that she – a San Francisco liberal – is on their side?? Can someone help me out here and tell me what exactly it is she’s done to make it look like she’s on “Bush’s side”??

 

Time for another round of “Caption This”

Can’t wait to see the responses to this one: Here’s the original caption: A video message from former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is shown during a press conference of Live Earth concert Tuesday June 19, 2007 in Shanghai, China.

“I don’t think [Coulter] has any shame”

Posted by: ST on June 27, 2007 at 10:39 pm » 8 Comments

So sayeth the man who wants to be Panderer, er, Commander in Chief: A day after his wife Elizabeth called in to MSNBC’s “Hardball” to confront conservative commentator Ann Coulter, Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards made his own appearance on the show. He dismissed Coulter, calling her “mean-spirited” having no shame and being “crazy.” He [...]

 

Newt Gingrich’s misrepresentation of the immigration bill

Posted by: ST on June 27, 2007 at 8:01 pm » 24 Comments

Newt Gingrich is one of my favorite conservatives, so much so that if he didn’t carry certain baggage (the affair on his wife, among other things) that I would vote for him in a heartbeat for president. He’s very well-educated, politically savvy, sharp as a tack, and seems to have his finger on the pulse [...]

The blogosphere and mediots are abuzz today over the confrontation that took place between Ann Coulter and Elizabeth Edwards yesterday on Chris Matthews’ MSNBC show Hardball. Coulter was in the studio, and Mrs. Edwards made a supposedly impromptu phone call over Coulter saying she wished John Edwards would die in a terrorist attack. My thoughts [...]

 

Excitement in the air at the NYT as poll suggest young Americans “lean left”

Are liberals winning the hearts and minds of young America? A new poll from the NYT seems to suggest they just might be: Young Americans are more likely than the general public to favor a government-run universal health care insurance system, an open-door policy on immigration and the legalization of gay marriage, according to a [...]

 

It ain’t all about Paris Hilton …

Posted by: ST on June 26, 2007 at 10:21 pm » 3 Comments

ST reader Mark Dunn (aka “Fat Tone”;) has a post up about a new terrorist alliance in the Middle East – that of Al Qaeda and Hamas. Of course this was all happening while more ‘important’ developments in the world were taking place, like Paris Hilton’s ‘finding God’ while in prison, and her subsequent release [...]
