    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864


    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

    -- U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp

Stuart Saves The Senate?

Failed talk radio show host Al Franken of the failed Air America liberal radio network plans to follow-up his failed Stuart Smalley movie (it was in theaters for only half a day before it was pulled due to no one attending anywhere) with a future failed run at the U.S. Senate in 2008 against Sen. Norm [...]

Stupidity in a Post-9/11 World

This pretty much defines it – brought to you by the good people of Turner Broadcasting and Time Warner. 

New U2 Video

They did an amazing editing job on this to make it appear like musical legends from the past several decades were signing parts of the song while the members of U2 can be briefly glimpsed in the audience.

Dem implosion in PWC is almost complete

On the heels of Matt Harrison’s resignation from the PWCDC earlier today, we now get word from BVBL that the Chairman of the PWC Dems, Vic Bras, has resigned.
It couldn’t have happened in a better place.  Now is the time for the PWC GOP to go in and finish the job off.  Unlike many other [...]

Jim Webb’s New Best Friends

FYI, the soldier in the wheelchair, Joshua Sparling, is the one who the protesters spat upon.
UPDATE:  It seems that the protesters share Sen. Jim “Thinskin” Webb’s (D-WashPo) economic views as well.  Notice the “socialistworker.org” web address on the sign.
 

Gilmore Hires a Heavyweight

The name Kieran Mahoney may not mean much to most Virginians, but anyone familiar with top-tier national political consultants will recognize the name and his name is spoken with reverence among New York Republicans (and with vile among New York Democrats.)  Mahoney guided Al D’Amato to reelection to the U.S. Senate from New York in [...]

Huge Shakeup Among PWC Dems

Not even 24 hours after Jeff Dion’s 14-point loss in the special election for Occoquan Supervisor and the PWC Dems are already seeing the infighting spill out into public view with the resignation of one of their top members.  (I wonder if this means the “PWC DEM” license plate will soon be available.)  The fight [...]

MSM 208-years late on first Muslim in Congress story

Wow! Surprise, surprise… The mainstream media got another story spectacularly wrong. For all the hoopla they made earlier this month about Keith Ellison being the first Muslim elected to Congress, you would have thought they would have done some research instead of acting like a pack of lemmings running off the nearest cliff [...]

What is Joe Biden saying about all other African-Americans?

From the New York Observer:
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man” — Democrat U.S. Sen. Joe Biden, on Sen. Barack Obama’s cleanliness.
Huh?  This comes on the heels of Biden’s comment that:
“You CANNOT go into a 7-11 or [...]

Gilmore Makes a Splash in NH

Last Saturday, Jim Gilmore made his first foray into New Hampshire since filing paperwork forming a presidential exploratory committee.  Gilmore attended the state GOP convention that also saw Giuliani, McCain, Romeny and Tancredo present.  An interesting tidbit from New Hampshire Presidential Watch:
At the convention, former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore spoke to local media and a [...]
