Once Bill Simmon said, on his local radio program, Poli-Sci-Fi Radio, that I was “spectacularly wrong.”  I loved that quote so much, it earned a place of honor at the top of my “What people are saying about She’s Right” section in the side bar.
What exactly was I spectacularly wrong about?  Well, probably all things [...]

I want to wrap up the Tea Party talk and, hopefully, address all of the issues that I left out of the last post and touch on the ones that were raised in the comments there.
I found out this morning that Bill Simmon and Steve Benen talked about my tea party post on their Poli-Sci-Fi [...]

There is a lot of anger and hatred around the internet about the Tax Day Tea Parties.  There is also a lot of misinformation.  Most of it started as a deliberate mis-information campaign to discredit the movement, but it has taken on a life of its own, being repeated as fact by people who really [...]

I was in Montpelier today for one of two tea parties in Vermont.  The crowd was a little bigger than the “23 confused looking folks” predicted by VDB.
Here’s a look at the crowd, via video.  I have to warn you, it is a little shaky.  I was trying to navigate my way through the crowd, [...]

It’s a strange day when Ace of Spades HQ and Vermont Daily Briefing both have posts expressing the same opinion on an issue.  But then, it’s a strange day when Congress is trying to give the president power over the internet.
Politics makes strange bedfellows, indeed.
There is one notable difference between the two blogs, though.  VDB [...]

Who would have thought that it would be the same-sex marriage proponents that would be the ones to make me rethink my tacit approval of legalizing the practice?
I just have to say, first, I hate this issue.  I wish it would just go away – and it would, if the left didn’t want to keep [...]

“To me, the candy cane has only one context — and that is Christmas and because of this it is truly a religious sign.”
So says Charlotte resident William Gerson in a letter to the school board in which he was opposing the red and white striped pillars at the entrance to the Charlottle Central School, [...]

From an editorial in the The Free Lance-Star:
NOT ALL COUNTRIES guarantee their citizens the right to virtually unbridled freedom of speech. The United States does. Would someone please tell the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama? And the dozing guardians of liberty at the University of Mary Washington?
This comes no where near the Obama Police Squad, [...]

This is pretty scary.

Obama on the first amendment: Send out law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading TV ad during the presidential campaign.
If this doesn’t bother you, it should.
The truth is relative.
Ask Obama if he supports the 2nd amendment, he’ll say “yes!” Ask someone like Jeff Soyer and, based [...]
