Today, I volunteered for the Restoring Honor rally hosted by Glenn Beck. Unlike the other rallies, protests and tea parties I’ve attended, this event was quite different. Last week, while I was lying in the hospital, I caught Glenn Beck on the O’Reilly Factor. Beck explained that this event would be non-political and very, very [...]

Four conservative women won last night. Two of them were endorsed by the Queen of Mama Grizzlies. Expect wall-to-wall coverage of this issue for the next few months on both sides. The subject of conservative women emerging in politics is one that I’ve covered for more than a year. Since the infamous Mama Grizzly remarks [...]

Have conservatives turned a corner? The annual Politics Online conference is this week. This is definitely a conference for the sausage makers and is aimed at those working in nonprofit, government or political technology. When I first attended in 2006, this conference helped my thesis come together, so I’ve always been grateful for it. As [...]

This time last year, I covered the Chattanooga Tea Party for Chattarati. It was a new phenomenon, and people didn’t know what to think. One year later, even more people are outraged, sexual terms are now used to describe mass protests of average Americans by the media, and people travel to DC at a moment’s [...]

I also wear glasses, but that’s because I actually need them. Not sure if this is funny, cool or just bizarre. I was really into Barbie as a little girl. [...]

Palin just wrapped up her speech at the controversial Tea Party Convention. Reaction on Twitter seems to be overwhelmingly positive. Pundits and liberals have stopped listening and just give a knee-jerk “she’s a crazy, fear-monger, blah, blah, blah.” Palin events are helpful though. I always delete the annoying people on Twitter who trash her. I [...]

The emergence of conservative women is invigorating on the right and baffling to the left. A.C. Kleinheider’s piece in the Nashville City Paper would be funny if it didn’t capture the begrudging puzzlement of the larger media as to why the conservative movement suddenly looks so female: Beyond a steady rightward shift and an increasingly [...]

Tea Parties are every where these days. They’re even on your TV now. Next Tuesday, December 2, Tea Party: The Documentary will premiere in DC aptly at the Reagan Center. I plan on attending. Rumor has it that the event is black tie optional, so it looks like another opportunity to pull out a cocktail [...]
