(This is the third iteration of the Rookie’s Rough Guide to CPAC. You can get the original version here and last year’s revision here. You’ll notice quite a few similarities, but also some useful differences as well.) If you’re a conservative, and haven’t been living in a dank cave far from a WiFi signal, you [...]
If you want to know why I love social media, look no farther than Episode 132. Without Twitter, it could not have happened and here’s why. A couple of months ago, I had a brief exchange with actor, director, and musician Robert Davi about his new album Davi Sings Sinatra: On the Road to Romance. [...]
I admit, I didn’t watch President Obama’s State of the Union address. I rarely watch big Presidential speeches live; I get a far better sense of the speech when I wait a little bit and read the full text (and you can get that text from the peerless Andrew Malcolm here). I’m glad I read [...]

For Episode 131, I turned to one of the smartest and coolest people I know — Ben Domenech of the Coffee and Markets podcast, among other places — to join me for the entire show. I won’t even begin to describe everything you’ll get in the whole hour, but I’ll give you two little tidbits. [...]
By now, you know from listening to the show that I can get a little bit excitable, and that oftentimes that excitability comes out against those who would be my political allies. That happened again in Episode 130. I’ve seen a lot of blog posts and news articles about the housing and credit crisis, but [...]
If we can judge Mitt Romney by the gang of Republicans who couldn’t be bothered to lift a finger over the past three years to so much as slow down Barack Obama’s progressive rampage but suddenly find themselves possessed with boundless energy to cast Newt Gingrich as the Greatest Villain of Our Time, then we can surely judge Gingrich by them as well.
I believe I have seen the future of Maryland politics and his name is Dan Bongino. He is a former Secret Service agent and New York City police officer, husband to a wife who legally emigrated from Colombia, and he’s running for the United States Senate seat currently held by Ben Cardin. My friend Jim [...]
When I first saw this, I swore to myself it had to be some sort of Photoshopped spoof. It’s not, though. This is a real tweet from the official Newsweek Twitter account. And this is the picture behind that link. Great, huh? I remember when the magazine was respectable, when its editors and authors had [...]
SPECIAL PROGRAMMING NOTE: Due to scheduling issues, I’ve had to move the live version of The Delivery to a new time on Tuesday nights: 8:30 PM Eastern Time. Yep, that’s an hour earlier than normal, so please, mark your calendars and fancy reminder apps. Again, the new time for the live version of The Delivery [...]
I think that Episode 128 may mark the point at which you could hear me flat-out give up on the belief that the Republican Party has any real interest in smaller, more responsible government. There are four stories from the past few years that all point to the massive amount of arrogance, incompetence, and corruption [...]
I hesitate to call DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz a liar, but I have noticed that she’s taken a precipitous turn toward partisan claptrap that has no basis in reality in her role as Official Spokesjerk of the Democratic Party. “We need to make sure that we tone things down, particularly in light of the [...]
I agree with Nice Deb. This GOP campaign video is good, but not quite there. What’s missing? Let’s go back to Nice Deb’s post for the answer. But that barely scrapes the surface of how divisive this President has been. The “hope and change” candidate who was sold as having “a first class temperament”, has proven [...]
Ladies and Gentlemen, raise your glasses!
Why the GOP has agreed to subject their candidates to the best attacks the Democratic message machine can craft is entirely beyond me. Why we on the right have allowed the GOP to continue in its folly without serious pushback mystifies me as well.
Well, after almost eight years, the glory has finally come to The Sundries Shack! Feast your eyes upon this accolade!
If you have spent any time in the world of conservative politics, you have heard from Tony Blankley. He spent several years as press secretary and adviser to Newt Gingrich and as the editorial page editor of the Washington Times and most recently as a public relations professional, columnist, and media pundit. Before that, he [...]
If I ever have the chance to write a dictionary, I’ll have a picture of Attorney General Eric Holder right next to the definition of the word “gall”. Holder is easily the most anti-law Attorney General in my lifetime. His Justice Department has repeatedly decided to enforce some laws and not others, to enforce some [...]
