The Hergert mess continues: Now that Dave Hergert has refused to resign, state lawmakers will restart a legal and political fight over whether the University of Nebraska Regent can be impeached. But another option exists at the periphery of the...

Bush under pressure on influx from Mexico

This issue is hot and getting hotter. The Chief has posted several times in the past that the GOP was in a position of being at least partially outflanked to the right on the border security issue. With the exception of a few outspoken people like Tom Tancredo (R-CO )the general level of squishiness on this from the President on down, leaves Donks a hole big enough to drive a busload of illegals through.

The emergency declarations of the Donk governors of Arizona and New Mexico, along with the concerned noises from Hilary herself show that some of them at least are getting the message from the voters at last.

Erick Erickson, posting at Red State, called Cindy Sheehan a "left wing media whore in the form of a grieving mother." Not kind words, and not words that I agree with necessarily. (And funny, didn't some left-wingers formerly publish a...

The National Education Association, which claims to care about education, is asking parents to boycott Wal-Mart during this back to school purchasing season. I never cease to be amazed at the left's concerted effort to demonize a company that employees...

The extent of the damage done by NARAL's slanderous ad against John Roberts is much greater than I would have predicted at the outset. It has undermined one of the Democrat's most cherished conceits: that the other side is the...
