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 [...]

Several months ago, I wrote several posts about the University of Tennessee’s announcement to grant Al Gore an honorary degree. I haven’t forgotten about this and have maintained my pledge to never give the UT system another dime. Over the weekend, I was reminded that my friend and former colleague, Lindsay Souza, will be in [...]

The universe must be off-balanced today. Slates’ Double X actually published a post that attacked Nancy Pelosi and linked to a Mary Katherine Ham piece at the Weekly Standard. I thought they had some type of rule that banned all conservative women in order to pretend that we don’t exist.  Then, I read two other [...]

Since it’s Friday afternoon, here’s a fun question. What are weird or unusual wedding traditions that you’ve seen? This past weekend kicked off the 2010 Wedding Season in which those of use in our twenties and early thirties spend at least one weekend per month from March to June and then September to October at [...]

As a University of Tennessee alumna and proud Volunteer, I have never been more disappointed in my University. The UT Board of Regents wants to award Former Vice President Al Gore an honorary doctorate. They’re voting on it it today. According to the Knoxville News Sentinel: The proposal was approved by the UT Board of [...]

Been a busy week. Between preparation for CPAC and unexpected car trouble (I’m cursed), this week has flown by. For the remainder of the week, I’ll be camped out a CPAC 2010. It’s awesome to be back. The conference last year encouraged me to dive back into the blogosphere. After a number of years, I [...]

In March, Tina Fey will appear on the cover of Vogue. According to an excerpt of the article in PopEater, she blames the backlash of playing Sarah Palin on being a woman: “The partisan nature of politics continues to appall me. I’m almost paralyzed by my inability to see things in black-and-white… I felt uncomfortable [...]

In a move that will likely inspire in snobby retorts from liberal elites and SNL jokes, Sarah Palin will attend the Daytona 500. Aside from taking a tour of the country’s WalMarts, I’m not really sure what else Palin could do to court Middle America. Honestly, if Palin didn’t already have the hokey American vibe [...]

The images from Haiti have been horrifying. Americans have an amazing tradition of helping others in need and coming to the rescue during tragic events. Since I don’t know much about Haiti, I’ve been confused about what organizations to trust. After 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, I just don’t trust the Red Cross. I’d much rather [...]

Truthfully, I didn’t realize that the decade was ending until Time Magazine informed me that this was the worst decade ever. I was under the impression that 2010 was the end of the decade not 2009. Wasn’t there a Seinfeld episode along these lines? While Worst Decade Ever sounds like a VH1 special with Michael [...]
