Do not miss this piece by Duane Patterson. Just a tease: Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats wrapped up another busy three-day work week Thursday morning with a flurry of legislative action. She passed five bills naming post offices, created the official inaugural committee, and authorized the use of the Capitol Rotunda for the 2009 [...]

One of the few people who has influenced me greatly died today. William F Buckley, Jr. — 1925-2008. More at National Review Online and The Corner.

Evidence is coming in to say Yes: So, Obama’s campaign condemns the actions of the Weathermen — but he’s actually friends with two of them and they helped launch his political career. What a country we have, huh? Even a coke-snorting phony who’s tied to terrorists has an opportunity to be President. Who says this [...]

Very interesting thoughts from Jim Geraghty: In other words, the only information most Americans have encountered regarding Obama so far has been gushing press coverage, and ineffective attacks on him from Hillary from the left. Conservatives have not, by and large, focused their ire on Obama… mostly because he ain’t her. Conservative red meat example: [...]
