Who asked a question. And the MSM is going wild on Twitter. Here’s the offense: The “offender” was Neil Munro from The Daily Caller. Updates: NBC has now given reporter/heckler more coverage than Fast & Furious gunrunning scandal. — Dan Curry (@dancurry) June 15, 2012...

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:...

Kohler, based in Wisconsin, has joined the Rush Limbaugh boycott, according to tweets it sent out yesterday from its Twitter account, @Kohler: It is not clear that Kohler actually ever advertised on the Limbaugh show, almost certainly not nationally.  This may be another of the...

Newt Gringrich appeared at Tulane University yesterday the day before the primary.  The overflow crowd necessitated that speakers be set up outside the lecture hall so those who could not get in could hear the speech. When a professor complained, the volume was lowered, but...
