I’m taking most of the weekend off from blogging, so I’m going to round up some of the Friday news in short snippets. * I hope this means what I think it means, or what I hope it means — Several British cities will be hosting Conventions on Modern Liberty where, they will among oth...

Once again we had another dynamic speaker to address our group at the latest Wicomico County Republican Club meeting this evening. Tonight it was Pocomoke City mayor and legislative candidate Michael McDermott. First we had the usual formalities, this month led by outgoing First VP George Ossman who...

WASHINGTON -- New Hampshire Republican Sen. Judd Gregg withdrew from consideration as Commerce secretary Thursday, saying his differences with the Democratic White House ran too deep. The announcement was a fresh embarrassment for an administration rocked by a number of setbacks. While his recent pr...

Well, as we expected, the so-called stimulus package passed the Senate by a 61-37 vote. All 58 Democrats voted yes (even the ailing Senator Ted Kennedy) while 37 of the 40 Republicans present voted no. GOP Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire did not vote, presumably pending his confirmation as Secre...

First off, I actually took my camera but decided there really wasn’t much worth photographing. Earlier this afternoon I was over in the thriving metropolis of Pittsville (the locals will get it) to attend a town hall meeting put on by my erstwhile but Democratic Delegates to the Maryland Gener...

Regularly I get e-mail updates from the Human Events website. Generally it’s for columns I like to read by writers with a number of disparate styles - Ann Coulter, Newt Gingrich, Pat Buchanan, Chuck Norris, Ted Nugent, and the Evans-Novak Report are among my favorites, even if I don’...

Here is another of those stating the obvious articles, but some things need repeating. Here is a thought experiment that does not take very much thought. Picture, if you will, Hillary Clinton facing a foreign-policy conundrum. With whom will she discuss it first and most intently: with her president...
