Chick’s got chops

You have to give her that. Although tomorrow morning, the MSM won’t. Geraghty puts it nicely:
Tonight, we either saw a watershed in American politics, a tour de force, the most striking and graceful debut in our nation’s political life, and a national introduction that makes Barack Obama’s 2004 convention address look like small potatoes… or […]

Is There a Particular *Reason* that Former Madrassah Student Barack Obama and his Surrogates Refuse to Acknowledge that Sarah Palin is the Governor of Alaska?

Just helping out where I can.
Background here.
UPDATE: Heh, I like this response.

Palin no hatchetman

Interesting post this morning on The Next Right. Matt Moon reminds us that most VP picks have historically played the role of hatchetman; to go after the opposition ruthlessly without directly putting the presidential nominee in that role. Sarah Palin wasn’t selected for that role, though - an important distinction from past nominees.
The point that […]

Telling

Rocky Mountain Right was on hand at the anti-war march outside the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday when two journalists
“in full DNC press credentials happened to wander in front of my camera. The two were having a heated exchange as one of them wanted to join the left-wingers in their march…
Can’t tell the difference between […]

“Equal pay for women”

Demanded Joe Biden in his Wednesday night speech. Does he practice what he preaches? A look by Michael Turk suggests not.
The average male staff assistant in Biden’s office (based on the most recent salary figures) made $39,162 in the time period.
The average woman in that position made $21,323.
Open mouth, insert foot.

All hail


One Priest to Heal them All

Rabbis, priests and ministers will take the stage both in Denver, where the Democrats convene this week, and in Minneapolis-St. Paul, where the Republicans will gather the week after.As might be expected, the clergy members chosen to speak tend to be close to the party that’s hosting the convention. Most clergy go to one convention […]

Drowned out

Face the State and 9News report that several streets that were supposed to be overrun with tens of thousands of protesters have been reopened.
The couple hundred radicals who showed up for a noon rally on the 16th Street Mall chanted “No Justice, No Peace!” Other than a few traffic delays, their presence was drowned out […]

McCain wins support of Colorado Hispanics

This doesn’t bode well for the Obama/Joker campaign.

Sure, Biden is a moron

but Delaware? Locked up.

Not supposed to happen?

According to whom? The wrong group of people is responsible for making decisions about our children. Of course it’s supposed to happen - that’s what they’ve planned (even if they didn’t realize it).
In grade four, U.S. students out-perform their international peers in 65 percent of participating countries in math and science. In grade eight that […]

Well, yeah…

that’s what I said.
Union misleading public regarding original intent of ProComp
In purely economic terms, it’s hard to understand why the Denver Classroom Teachers Association and Denver Public Schools remain at loggerheads as they argue the details of a new contract before a federal mediator.

The union’s stance is difficult to square with ProComp’s initial objectives.
There’s the […]

Good riddance to bad rubbish

Vince Chowdry has finally resigned from the Jefferson County School Board. If that name is familiar to you, he’s the … person convicted of 3rd degree assault on his daughter. The Jeffco Board of Education asked Vince Chowdhury to resign by July 25th. It only took him a month to realize what was going on […]

Admiral

How long do you figure we’ll have to wait to see this movie on video?

IMDB lists release dates for Eastern European countries and Russia only. Meh.

What he said

Dennis Prager lists his beliefs.
The following is a list of beliefs that I hold. Nearly every one of them was a liberal position until the late 1960s. Not one of them is now.

Finally, I believe that there are millions of Americans who share most of these beliefs who still call themselves “liberal” or “progressive” and […]
