I was in Hartford, Connecticut when news broke that Ted Kennedy'd been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. For several days thereafter I had to endure fawning news stories in which ol' Ted Kennedy was portrayed as an almost-saint and a man-o'-the-people ('cause he cared so much about "the poor" and who fought for "social justice" ... and blah, blah, blah). Watchin' such was enough to churn a

Bad news for Barry and his fellow Dems:Nate Silver, the left-leaning statistician recently hired by the New York Times after running his own polling blog for several years, is warning Democrats not to dismiss the GOP generic ballot lead as a mere outlier.Gallup released a poll yesterday, using the president's favorite word, "unprecedented," to describe the GOP's 10-point lead on the generic

In case you haven't heard, Bill Clinton's comin' to town to campaign for guv-candidate Mike McWherter. It'll be interesting to hear how Bubba makes the case for electing a feller whose primary qualifications are (a) his dad was governor a few years back and (b) he's been endorsed by Phil Bredesen.What ... you didn't know Mike McWherter's been endorsed by Phil Bredesen?

When I was a kid, my dad had a saying that he'd uncork whenever my effort at completing a task didn't measure up to his expectation. "Don't half-ass it, son" he'd say. I thought about my dad's, ahem, encouraging words when I was driving home today. Please allow me to explain.There are two routes that I take when driving from my office to my house. One is a direct route; the other is an

Last week, a nut by the name o' Howard Meek penned an op-ed in the Tennessean in which he touted Saint, er, President Obama's supposed accomplishments. You can read Meek's load of unadulterated claptrap here.One fact that Mr. Meek failed to mention is that Obama's economic policies are hurtling the country toward a double-dip recession (accomplishment, indeed).

Charles Krauthammer says President Obama is a narcissist. Ya think?!It’s fine to recognize the achievements of others and be non-chauvinistic about one’s country. But Obama’s modesty is curiously selective. When it comes to himself, modesty is in short supply.It began with the almost comical self-inflation of his presidential campaign, from the still inexplicable mass rally in Berlin in front of

Next to Jonah Goldberg, Daniel Henninger is my favorite political scribe.

Anyone who's actually paying attention to what's going on in the U.S.A., economically speaking, knows this:In case you weren’t aware, the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 are set to expire at the end of 2010. Thus, if Congress doesn’t act, the relatively low income tax rates that we’ve been enjoying (hah! enjoying?) will soon be a thing of the past. They will be replaced by the pre-2001 tax

Speaking at a fundraiser in San Francisco, President Obama said, "Let’s face it: This has been the toughest year and a half since any year and a half since the 1930s." As others have pointed out, the period from the ’30s till now includes Pearl Harbor, World War II, the Cold War, the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, race riots, Watergate, "stagflation," the Iran hostage

Obama is among the most thin-skinned presidents we have had, and we see evidence of it in every possible venue imaginable, from one-on-one interviews to press conferences, from extemporaneous remarks to set speeches.The president is constantly complaining about what others are saying about him.

So, Metro-Nashville Police Chief Ronal Serpas has done left town to become superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department.

President Obama recently went to Buffalo to talk-up his economic "stimulus" boondoggle.

Apparently, President B. Hussein "Barry" Obama has no historical peer when it comes to alienating big chunks of the voting public 'gainst White House policies. To wit:[Obama's] first-year ratings were the most polarized for a president in Gallup history, with an average 65-point gap between Republicans and Democrats. Obama’s approval ratings have become slightly more polarized thus far in his

From Gary Bauer: Barack Obama may have thought he had a mandate to "fundamentally transform America," but he was wrong. More than 100 polls clearly demonstrated the public’s opposition to ObamaCare. But supremely confident in Big Government, the liberal Democrats were blinded by their own arrogance and ignored them all. It’s hard to trust someone or something that blatantly ignores you and does

A few weeks have passed since ObamaCare passed ... and a new Rasmussen poll finds likely voters now favor Republican control of Congress by ten points, 46 percent to 36 percent.

Back in 1995, I went to a fundraiser for a member of the Metro-Nashville Council. Said council member was a Democrat, but he was a friend of the family. And so I went.Just as the fundraiser was busting up, State Senator Bob Rochelle came waltzing in wearing his stupid suspenders. Rochelle apologized for being late, explaining that he'd been "hiking" with Boy Scouts all day. Now, anyone who ever

Liberal talking heads and left-wing bloggers would have you believe that Tea Partiers are semi-literate, slack-jawed yokels.

Apparently so ...Americans are now pretty evenly divided about whether they would rather have Barack Obama or George W. Bush in the White House. 48% prefer Obama while 46% say they would rather have the old President back. Bush had atrocious approval ratings for his final few years in office, particularly because he lost a lot of support from Republicans and conservative leaning independents . .

But I'm of the opinion that a man should be able to drive whatever kind o' car that floats his boat. What intrigues me most about Johnson' voiture, however, is this Tweet

As someone who "does" math for a living, this piece caught my attention (and caused me to chuckle just a few times):With the Boomer Revolution came the reinvention of everything we used to take for granted. The first old guard institution they decided to shut down was, "Doing the math." Now we have New Math and the word "Science" applies to everything from astrology to having your hair done. You

Remember when Barry told us that health insurance premiums would go down under ObamaCare? Wrong.Beginning in 2014, most Americans will be required to buy insurance or pay a tax penalty. That's when premiums for young adults seeking coverage on the individual market would likely climb by 17% on average, or roughly $42 a month, according to an analysis of the plan conducted for The Associated Press.

The New York Times' Frank Rich recently stated that racism and bigotry is the true raison d'être of ObamaCare opponents.Pat Sajak -- yes, the Pat Sajak -- has penned an excellent piece at Human Events in which he takes issue with Rich's ridiculous assertion.

It's March Madness and in offices across the land folks are, ahem, betting on which team they think will win the Big Dance. After basketball season ends, I think offices should consider allowing people to throw into a pool and guess which campaign promise President Obama will break next. Of course, every office has at least one left-wing nutbucket who'd complain, but the potential for big bucks

A lot of us cynical types have been saying for months that Obama's "stimulus" is nothing but a taxpayer-financed slush fund for helping Democrats get re-elected. Here's proof:More here.

Be careful what you wish for ... you've heard that expression, right? When Democrats started "wishing" for reconciliation as a way to pass ObamaCare over and past the will of the American people, well, the GOP now has a goldmine of roll call votes to use 'gainst Democrats this fall.Kimberly Strassel tells us 'bout it:Democrats only got their ObamaCare victory by breaking every rule, and that was

Here are the Top 5 Disasters in the Democrats' Reconciliation bill ...The Reconciliation Act of 2010 is a disastrous, anti-growth tax hike bill. If this were any other year, it would be by far the year's worst piece of legislation. This bill is once-a-decade bad, but unfortunately overshadowed by the all-time bad affront to personal freedom and fiscal sanity the president signed into law

I don't know how it happened, but I recently ended up on the Tennessee Democratic Party's e-mail list. I must say I've enjoyed the Interweb messages I've received from the TNDP. In each and every one of 'em I've been able to find tidbits that're either stupid, surreal, or flat-out lies ... and sometimes I find tidbits that are all three at once.That said, the lead story in the most recent e-mail

A few years ago -- a few more than I'd like to let on -- I worked in the office of a Republican state representative from Murfreesboro. Said representative was once working on a bill which would've alerted state correction officers whenever HIV-positive prisoners were in their midst, and he asked for Rep. Bart Gordon's assistance in getting it passed. Gordon said he'd help. However, when the ACLU

Over the years I reckon I've witnessed some 200 bluegrass artists picking some 1,000+ bluegrass tunes. Outta all those witnessed performances, if you will, there are maybe a dozen that are stuck in the part of my brain that permanently records memorable concert experiences. Like the time the Osborne Brothers opened a Ryman Auditorium show, circa 1995, with "Midnight Flyer" (this ain't it, but you

One of my most prized possessions is a 1956 Topps Yogi Berra baseball card I bought at E Gads! (anybody remember E Gads! ...?) when I was 8 or 9-years-old. I think I paid 10 bucks.
