I always like it when PJ O’Rourke checks in. He’s smart, he’s funny, and he reminds the main stream media that whether they like it or not, we’re here, we’re conservative, get used to it. I’ll just let Mr. O’Rourke take it from here…
…but calm down and go home, because the Washington Post said so. This is exactly the joke that used to be told in the Soviet Union. An old guy’s wife tells him to go to the butcher shop and get some meat. He goes to the butcher shop and stands in line for hours. Finally the butcher says, “We’re out of meat.” The old guy blows his top. He yells, “I am a worker! I am a proletarian! I am a veteran of the Great Patriotic War! I have fought for socialism all my life, and now you tell me you’re out of meat! What kind of a system is this?! You are fools! You are thieves! . . . ” A big man in a trench coat comes up to the old guy and says, “Comrade, Comrade, not so loud.

He says to the old guy, “Calm down and go home.” The old guy shrugs and leaves. He comes back empty-handed, and his wife says, “What’s the matter, are they out of meat?” “Worse than that,” says the old guy, “they’re out of bullets.”

When George Allen and Christie Todd Whitman won their respective races, it helped launch the Republican take over the next year, both in momentum and recruitment.
I really don’t get the outrage over enhanced interrogation techniques. I mean, I’m a Republican, so it’s understood that I have no conscience or soul in the first place. But if these techniques are helping/going to help keep the country safe, I say so be it. If anything, the outrage should be at the NY Times who felt it necessary to put the country at risk just because they didn’t like the President.
The last major foreign policy kerfuffle we had was a few months ago where we had those dueling foreign policy speeches between 
Apparently UFC 102: COUTURE VS. NOGUEIRA should have been called UFC 102: YOU JUST GOT KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT. The show had three of the sickest (and quickest) knock-outs we’ve seen, plus a classic war between two MMA veterans…
Everyone goes back to Washington in a week or so after a summer vacation that has seen support for ObamaCare tank, 1800+ veterans misdiagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease by the VA, the
