Perhaps Governor Palin should give a speech in London, or at least think about getting the Daily Mail’s Richard Littlejohn on her speechwriting team: The mantra from the Obama camp is that she lacks the experience to be VP. In truth, she has more executive experience than either Obama or his Neil Kinnock-impersonator sidekick mate… Read more

"At the beginning of this Presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would… Read more

Pretty good speech, and in spite of what the Bubbleheads say, Governor Palin didn’t get mired down by the audience, she played them like a 20-pound salmon on 10-pound line.  The best comment I’ve read is over at Ann Althouse’s blog: From now on, when a Democrat says "But what if McCain drops dead on… Read more

I suspect that many  Redneck Americans, when confronted with this cartoon, will say "Look, those pinko bastards… Read more

Somebody is going to receive an 8×10 glossy copy of this photo rolled into a tight paper cone, shoved up his a$$.  What the f*** was he thinking? Tip from American Digest, who credits the delightfully evil eye of Rachel Lucas. Read more
