[I’m reprinting this letter from Fred Wickham (the blogger at Bullseye Rooster). Despite my headline, I am NOT calling Andrew Breitbart or Fox News terrorists, but reading this reminded me of why most governments refuse to negotiate with terrorists — it just encourages them.

In the political marketplace, there’s now a run on Obama shares. The Left is disappointed with the president. Independents are abandoning him in droves.

I have a warning for Republicans: […]

© Ben Sargent When asked repeatedly about specific things the Republicans will do to cut the deficit, Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX) and Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) draw a blank. Finally, in desperation, Sessions says he wants to go back to the economic policies of the Bush Administration. Seriously. And Cornyn says he is waiting for […]
The Tea Party in the township of Homer, Illinois has decided that they need to take action against the illegal immigrant plague (which they don’t have) and declare English to be their official language.

“Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston announced they are engaged to be married. Can you believe that? Whew! Even that German octopus couldn’t have predicted this.” – Jay Leno “Do you folks remember a guy named Levi Johnston? He’s marrying Bristol Palin. They’re getting married, that’s exciting. He’ll be arriving at the church tied to Sarah […]
