Palin's public call on Stevens to "do the right thing" may mean "publicly commit to resign if the trial judge upholds the jury's verdict"

Posted on October 28, 2008
My latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com hazards a guess as to what Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is saying privately to just-convicted U.S. Senator Ted Stevens. It involves a resignation letter.

Bill Ayers claims he and other former radicals are "good guys" who are being "demonized"

Posted on October 28, 2008
We all think we're "good guys," I suppose, but some of us ? in particular, those among us who are unrepentant, unrehabilitated domestic terrorists and radical "educators" ? are actually twisted dollops of evil scum. So I say in another guest-post at HughHewitt...

Former editor-in-chief of "Ms." magazine reports on her first-hand exposure to Sarah Palin

Posted on October 28, 2008
In a guest-post at HughHewitt.com this evening, I linked to a pro-Palin analysis from a surprising source.

Obama's 2001 appearance on a Chicago PBS radio program shows him focused on building a "coalition of power" to bring about redistribution of wealth which even the Warren Court couldn't achieve

Posted on October 27, 2008
I don't have any doubt that Barack Obama wants to redistribute America's wealth. Unfortunately, I can't agree with National Review's Katheryn Jean Lopez that this excerpt from a 2001 PBS radio broadcast proves that. Ultimately, the broadcast is still pretty scary, though, which is the distinction I try to maintain in my latest guest-post at HughHewitt...

On this 41st anniversary of John McCain being shot down over Hanoi

Posted on October 27, 2008
My last guest-post of Sunday evening at HughHewitt.com marks the 41st anniversary of John McCain's last mission over Hanoi.

Actually, I am Bill too, but not THAT Bill

Posted on October 26, 2008
My latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com links a funny ha-ha piece from Iowahawk that's also funny-sad (when you drill down through the links). And yes, Bill Ayers is still a twisted dollop of evil scum.

The Rezko-Obama payoff reduced to one sentence

Posted on October 26, 2008
I just don't understand how anyone can't grasp this: Tony Rezko did a six-figure favor for Barack Obama in connection with Obama's house purchase. The only other explanation requires one to believe that Obama is a brilliant real estate pro and that Tony Rezko is stupid enough to pay full asking price at exactly the same time...

Politico-sports metaphor for the day

Sarah Barracuda to Barack Obama, re basketball nets, in one of my guest-posts today at HughHewitt.com.

SNL opening skit on Biden & Murtha gaffes

Posted on October 26, 2008
Early this morning I guest-posted an embedded video clip of SNL's opening spoof last night on Rep. Jack Murtha's and Sen. Joe Biden's amazing accidental truth-tellings of the past week.

Challenge for next administration will be to be worthy of our military's professionalism and dedication

Posted on October 26, 2008
On a guest-post yesterday at HughHewitt.com, I expressed my gratitude and admiration for our professional military forces, who are already on special alert as we approach the election and the transition to a new administration.

AP, mainstream media, use misleading headlines to falsely impute to Lieberman doubt about Palin's readiness

Posted on October 26, 2008
AP this year isn't "Associated Press," it's "Anti-Palin." One of the latest examples is detailed in a guest-post I made yesterday at HughHewitt.com.

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?

Posted on October 26, 2008
As I explained in a guest-post yesterday at HughHewitt.com, I'm still waiting for any honest Democrats to demand that the Obama campaign identify, fire, and help prosecute the people who decided to disable the anti-fraud controls from its online credit card donation program.

Obama, Frank, and the Dems plot course to repeat the debacle of Desert One with 25% cut in military funding

Posted on October 26, 2008
Obama brags that he'll cut spending with a scalpel, but of course Congress originates all federal spending, and powerful Democratic Rep. Barney Frank is planning on a meat axe that will cut military spending by 25%. This will guarantee us a return to 1980 and the days of Desert One, or so argues my guest-post from yesterday at HughHewitt...

When it comes to polls and pollsters: Illegitimi non carborundum

Posted on October 26, 2008
Jay Cost at Real Clear Politics uses some fancy math to show how bizarre this year's polls are, and in particular how much they're contradicting each other, as compared to previous years' polls. Don't let any of 'em get you down, I argued in a guest-post at HughHewitt...

Fred Thompson: Obama's agenda "based upon the belief that there are elites among us who know more and know better" how to use our money

Posted on October 26, 2008
Friday, I reprinted Fred Thompson's excellent video campaign message in a guest-post at HughHewitt.com.

Try as they might, ABC News reporters can't dilute power of Palin's use of Biden's words to critique Obama's unfitness

Posted on October 26, 2008
Early Friday morning, my guest-post at HughHewitt.com contrasted the power of Sarah Palin's quoted words to the misleading misdirection of the ABC News reporters trying to cover her.

Don't be misled into thinking "early voting" reports necessarily, or even very closely, correspond to actual votes cast!

Posted on October 26, 2008
The mainstream media is trying to make you think it knows exactly how the early voting is going, but it's assuming that registrations equal actual voting decisions, which is very misleading (as I argued in a Thursday guest-post at HughHewitt.com).

Temporary bookmark for Patterico

As cross-posted in a guest post at HughHewitt.com, my friend Patterico's temporarily at Patterico.net while his original .com address is still hijacked.

The Purchase of the White House

Posted on October 26, 2008
My Thursday guest-post at HughHewitt.com decries the sheer volume of money being used to buy a term in the White House for Barack Obama.

The "clear signal to the world" is of Obama's profound unreadiness

Posted on October 26, 2008
My guest-post early Thursday morning at HughHewitt.com mocks the spin Team Obama is trying to put on Joe Biden's accidental truth-telling about how the world will test a new President Obama. The theme: "How can anyone in the world take them seriously, when Barack Obama and his lean, mean team of 500 foreign policy advisers can't even manage to achieve...

Even the higher marginal tax rate that you don't pay directly can still push you, and everyone, into poverty

Posted on October 26, 2008
My lastest guest-post tonight at HughHewitt.com is about taxes and spreading the wealth. I argue that "those higher taxes cannot possibly be crafted so that they just affect rich old Peter over there ? not by a smart Harvard economics professor, and not even by Barack Obama...

Gen. Powell as a tree falling in the forest unvisited by the undecided

Posted on October 20, 2008
Mickey Kaus and I agree about Gen. Colin Powell's endorsement of Sen. Obama, as I explain in my latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com.

Biden warns us to "mark [his] words: It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy."

Posted on October 20, 2008
Joe Biden ? mere idiot, or idiot savant? I still incline toward the former view, but his dire warning from yesterday (at a fundraiser when he thought there were no recordings being made) is apt, and it's the subject of my latest guest-post at HughHewitt...

The many tentacles of the Ayers-Obama coverup: Candidate, media, leftie bloggers all willing to rewrite history to support each others' lies

Posted on October 20, 2008
Night and fog. That couple who lived on the corner, who you haven't seen since last week? They never lived there. Nacht und nebel. If you're smart, you'll stop asking about that couple who didn't ever live on the corner. My latest guest-post on HughHewitt...

Obama leaks cabinet choices in time for Halloween scare

Posted on October 19, 2008
Sen. McCain meant, I think, to reassure Americans that they need not be "afraid" that Barack Obama is an "Arab" or a "terrorist" himself. But Americans have ample cause to be afraid of other aspects of an Obama presidency, as my guest-post at HughHewitt...

A searing and timely account ... of a state senator who glorified a domestic terrorist turned radical "educator"

Posted on October 19, 2008
Other than his unsigned Harvard Law Review note, is this the first published writing of Barack Obama — a glorification of Bill Ayers? My latest guest-post at HughHewitt.com reprints this photo of the book review with a link back to its source and just a bit of commentary.

Caribou Barbie rocks on an otherwise dreadful episode of SNL

Posted on October 19, 2008
Alec Baldwin is still a vile idiot, but to his credit, he allowed himself to be parodied in Gov. Palin's very effective appearance on "Saturday Night Live." I still wouldn't let him in the same building with either of my daughters. More comments about Gov...

Dazzling daylight between Webb & Obama on guns and other policies

Posted on October 19, 2008
The below-mentioned Matt Bai piece in the NYT Sunday Magazine also produced a couple of priceless quotes, reproduced in my guest-post at HughHewitt.com, that I hope are quoted and emailed to every gun-owner, conservative, and moderate in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

'Horns are for real

Posted on October 19, 2008
I sing the praises of Colt McCoy and the Longhorns, who were 57-31 victors over Mizzou on Satureday night, in yet another guest-post at HughHewitt.com.
