Would it be premature to call this the early leader for Tweet of the Year? Maybe, because considering who won last year, we may need to redistribute the honor so that less-gifted Twitter users do not have their self-esteem damaged. From the 2012 CPAC Humor Blogger of the...

I really need to stop using Twitter. Legal Insurrection receives CPAC award.  BTW, John Hawkins has photos and more from CPAC and the Red Carpet Bloggers Awards. in Chief.  Strong contender for bumper sticker of the year. Will we let them take this guy down?  Gov. Scott Walker...

Funny, I don't see a "stop" button. A feature, not a bug. From reader Bill in Florida, who spotted this on a counter, and laments: I have been seeing lots of good bumper stickers, one on a prius, but alas, traffic only runs unimpeded when I want...

anti-Israeli liar and agitator capable of? Maybe almost setting off violence by deliberately spreading false rumors regarding a pending Jewish destruction of the Al-aqsa Mosque.  He's not in Egypt, or Saudi Arabia, or Yemen.  He's right here, and he runs the nasty Electronic Intifada blog, and was active...

I previously posted about Rick Santorum's endorsement in 2004 of Arlen Specter against a challenge from Pat Toomey, in what was a precursor to the Tea Party v. Establishment fights to come. One of the unintended consequences of Specter's reelection was that in 2009 Specter switched parties,...

The Obama administration has been tightening the grip around the collective necks of the fossil fuel industry. The goal is of course to kill it and nowhere is this more self evident than with oil exploration. The most recent example is the studying to death of...

Can you imagine the uproar if a major conservative publication ran an image like this? The image is from New York Magazine, however, and it's in support of gay marriage, so the response will be muted, Obama Gay Marriage Evolution Watch: Day 468. A writer at WaPo does take...

Working on posts about Santorum's 2004 endorsement of and campaigning with Arlen Specter (and the false meme that we would not have Alito and Roberts if not for Santorum helping re-elect Specter), and another name to add to Operation Counterweight. But for now you'll have to...

With this being my first time ever attending CPAC, it can be easy to get caught up in the awe of it. The faces you see on the other end of the television every day turn into actual people and conference goers get a chance...

A close runner up to “the finest example of fatuous, preening, liberal self-righteousness” Thanks to reader Matt, who took this photo in the rain in Denver near the Cheesman Park neighborhood just east of Downtown, and writes: Doesn't the government ...

Mitt won the Maine caucuses, Mitt won the Maine caucuses! 39-36 over Ron Paul, with about 5000 people voting!  Not for Mitt, in total. He also won the CPAC straw poll.  Just like Michele Bachmann won the straw poll in Iowa.  And Herman Cain in Florida. ...

I posted earlier in the week about the Super Bowl commercial run by Pete Hoekstra, who is running for Senate from Michigan against Debbie Stabenow. The commercial was part of a DebbieSpendItNow.com campaign highlighting the loss of jobs in Michigan to countries like China. The url now redirects to...

Reader and frequent photographer Danelle sends this email: This link is for a young Texas group, The Ivey's. "Lady Made of Stone" is the first video and single release for their new album. I'd spend a couple of paragraphs bragging on these kids, but their music speaks for  itself. The...

Almost. Via BuzzFeed Politics: A video posted today shows conservative provocateur Andrew Breitbart shouting "Behave yourselves!" and "Stop raping people!" at Occupiers protesting outside CPAC this afternoon. He also calls them "freaks and animals." According to Campus Progress writer Emily Crockett, who filmed the video at around 6:15...
