Yesterday, September 27, was my mother's 52nd birthday.

She died of cervical cancer in November 1992.

In his latest Los Angeles Times column, National Review Editor Jonah Goldberg endorsed Jim Crow election law.

Instead of making it easier to vote, maybe we should be making it harder. Why not test people about the basic functions of government? Immigrants have to pass a test to vote;...

Former Governor Mitt Romney (R-Massachusetts), while playing G.I. Joe "under supervision," discovered firing automatic weapons is hard! Somewhere in this rambling he comes to the conclusion that he would not make automatic weapons illegal.

Earlier in the article, Senator Vitter told reporters that...

Earlier today, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani sent out a plea to supporters with "12 commitments" that aren't worth the paper its printed -- er, pixels in cyberspace.

From yesterday's Mitt Romney e-mail to supporters comparing "The Romney Vision" with that of Senator Barack Obama (D-Illinois):

Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson says that the Democratic takeover of Congress last November had nothing to do with Iraq.

Instead, the presidential hopeful contends, out-of-control spending by Republicans and "unrestrained partisanship" were to blame. Thompson's Leon Panetta-esque perception of the 2006 midterm elections is, to put it...

The campaign staffer for Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Alpine, Calif.), TheConservativeVoice.com founder Nathan Tabor, signed on as the Director of Internet Outreach in mid-February citing the congressman's "commitment to conservative principles."
