Okay, you won. Fantastic. But please, stop the crying. Just…just stop. Okay?

Remember in 2006 when the leftwingers shouted with horror (and glee, because it proved how horrid the U.S. was) that a study had found 600,000 Iraqi civilians dead since the war began? I heard this number ad nauseum from my leftwing friends.

The WaPo included the number […]

This is pretty cool.

You answer a few questions and it tells you which candidates most mirror your beliefs.

Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter tied for first with me, with McCain coming in 2nd. Heh.

Take it and tell me in the comments who was […]

I had the pleasure of being in Sen. McCain’s bloggers’ call this morning. Unfortunately I was listening in from my cell phone while waiting for an appointment and just got back so I haven’t been able to post until now, but Patrick Hines sent a roundup:
Power Line:

“I think the Hillary appeal has always been about the mix of toughness and sympathy. Let’s not forget, and I’ll be brutal, the reason she’s a US Senator, the reason she’s a candidate for President, the reason she may be a front runner, is that her husband messed […]

You may remember the big uproar created last fall when Columbia University invited Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak there. The university apparently takes some pride in their willingness to embrace psychotic dictators and enemies of our country. Columbia University President Lee Bollinger attempted to redeem himself a little bit […]

These are always fun because I get to listen to McCain off the cuff, but they are pretty predictable with talking points and such. Details of the call are over at Captain’s Quarters.

At one point when McCain is discussing earmarks, he asks us to hold on. Then […]
