I really urge you to take a look at the Twitter hastag #StopRush, it's one of the more depressing places on the internet; one can't help but feel sorry for people who spend their day tweeting obsessively the same things over and over again, day after...

The big news last night was that Sarah Palin endorsed Orrin Hatch (video via HotAir): Many people are acting surprised.  But Palin's support is not new, as this video from August 2011 indicates, although calling it a formal "endorsement' may be new: I set forth my position...

At 8:31 p.m. Eastern tonight we received the 100,000th comment, by Oregon Mike, who hasn't been a frequent commenter here but has been commenting since July 2011. 100,000 isn't a lot for many blogs, where the use of third-party software like Disqus encourages free-for-alls.  I probably could up...

Signs are popping up all over. From reader Angie: This is not a bumper sticker, but traveling along the coast in southern OREGON, we came upon this rather large sign. The small town seemed to be struggling. Maybe there's hope. Follow up email from Angie: Drove by it again today,...

Eric Holder has been selected as Harvard Law School's Class Day Speaker.  I don't remember if there was a Class Day when I was there, but I would not have attended anyway for reasons already known to readers. Holder will be greeted with posters protesting Holder's...

Spotted: the director of the upcoming documentary "Hating Breitbart" clowning the Occupy protesters by joining their crowd Monday afternoon: Better yet, Rebel Pundit got out and led the crowd in chants, holding a "Breitbart Is Here" sign: Seems just like the time Andrew Breitbart led Code Pink anti-capitalism...
