Several months ago, I wrote a post explaining that Cash for Clunkers had destroyed the used car market. Later, I had a long twitter debate with well-known Democratic blogger in Tennessee, who swore up and down that Cash for Clunkers had worked. He had a similar debate with another Tennessee conservative this week on Twitter. [...]

The long-awaited drinking game is here. After writing a voter guide drink menu for tonight’s festivities, here’s how to play the game* If you need suggestions for drinks, click here for Gubernatorial drinks and here for TN-03 candidates. Chug your drink: 1. Every time a Haslam ad appears on TV. 2. The mention of secession [...]

Welcome back, dear readers. In case any of you are still sober, here are the drink match-ups for the the TN-03 race. Sadly, this is where my knowledge of Volunteer State politics ends. I’m not messing with other Congressional districts, and when you get to the state level, people take things personally. The TN-03 race [...]

Tomorrow is a day that I marked on my calendar a while ago. Not because of excitement for our opportunity to exercise Constitutional voting rights, but because I’m ready for this bloody primary season to be over. Given the sheer insanity of the gubernatorial race, the national awareness of Basil Marceaux, the weirdness of the [...]

Sure, the TN-03 race could be a case study in the art of mudslinging and the gubernatorial race is heading toward a multi-generational blood feud, but it’s nothing compared to legendary YouTube ads [...]

Update: So Hot Air picked up on the video. Remember where you saw it first though folks. (Well, me and Post Politics). Also, if you want even more Basil action, follow his Twitter feed. When South Carolina hasn’t been in the news, Alabama candidates have filled the void of interesting political stories this cycle. Tennnessee, [...]

Update: James DeLong at The Enterprise Blog captures my reaction without my snark or underlying dislike of the media. H/T: NRO. The Journolist quotes today released by The Daily Caller are nothing short of astounding. First of all, they confirm the worst paranoia of conservatives: the media has an outright agenda and has conspired to [...]

Charges of racism in Tea Parties are hardly a new. Whenever the left doesn’t like something, they generally resort to name calling. Since alleging racism is only one step above the worst societal insult of all–being called a Nazi!–is it surprising that liberals have tried to brand the masses calling for fiscal restraint as bigoted [...]

Hate mail is an intriguing concept. Our society is growing more and more hateful because we can send horrible messages without suffering the consequences of ever facing that person. I’ve written about hate mail before, and I’m currently working on another project that is the target of a lot of hate mail. Michelle Malkin’s post [...]
