I don't care who you are, that's funny! Larry The Cable Guy.

Outspoken rocker Ted Nugent is weighing his political options and considering a run for the White House.

Wrestling legend William Alvin "Bill" Moody, better known as his ring name Paul Bearer, died Tuesday, March 5. He was 58.

What is a good camera to buy for a reasonable price that will take pictures of people, posing, athletic events etc, that is easily postable to a website or facebook?

I did the first one of these for this election cycle 459 days ago, although it only feels like six, maybe seven times that many. First up is the map Democrats tell you is far too conservative, since The Chosen Won will win so big and so early that the Rocky Mountain states like Montana will simply suspend their elections and succumb to the inevitable. Nevertheless, if Obama wins, this is probably about as good as it gets.

Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) said Monday that Abraham Lincoln “wasn’t a great debater” during a visit to the Obama campaign field office in Denver, Colo., according to Denver West Word reporter Sam Levin.

Freepers are well known over the years for worrying about every poll that comes out. Too many Dems in the poll, they never poll me, all that stuff. Well friends it is time to stop worrying about surveys because you don't need them to know what is going on. Use your mind and your eyes. A novel approach granted. First the mind, any poll that shows Obama the four year incumbant under 50% in a state is a state he will not carry. So when you see a poll that says Obama 47% Romney 45% in xyz state, Obama is...

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Mitt Romney attracting 47% of the vote, while President Obama earns support from 44%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided. Romney has a 20-point advantage among white voters. Obama is supported by 91% of black voters and 57% of other minority voters.

When they make the movie about the Costa Concordia, the cruise ship that grounded off the coast of Tuscany, there won’t be romantic tales about its captain. Italian authorities immediately arrested him on suspicions of manslaughter and abandoning ship prematurely. He might have been the skipper of the ill-fated vessel in all senses of the word.

Newt Gingrich has taken the lead in PPP's national polling. He's at 28% to 25% for Herman Cain and 18% for Mitt Romney. The rest of the Republican field is increasingly looking like a bunch of also rans: Rick Perry is at 6%, Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul at 5%, Jon Huntsman at 3%, and Gary Johnson and Rick Santorum each at 1%.

The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can’t get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is...

Based on my calculations if the election were held today the Republican nominee (No matter who it is) has 266 Electoral Votes. The One has 196 and the following states are toss ups. Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico,Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.

From the Democratic Party’s 1924 nominee John W. Davis, who, after losing to Calvin Coolidge but feeling that one of his problems was the strain of demagogic populism in the Democratic Party, said this: “When will we get done with the fool idea that the way to make a party grow is to scare away everybody who has an extra dollar in his pocket? God forbid that the Democratic Party should become a mere gathering of the unsuccessful!”

Let me be the first to propose a national movement to draft Al Gore for president in 2016, carry the banner of the New Frontier heritage of the Democratic Party, and mobilize to elect true Democrats to the House and Senate in 2012.

I’d put money that the map they’re looking at in the White House isn’t any different from this one. Why does it look like this? Not from the polls, believe it or not. Longtime readers know I don’t put much stock in those this far out, and don’t much discuss them before the summer of the election year. I barely look at them. Instead, fives rules of thumb: 1. President Obama will not win any states he didn’t win in 2008. 2. North Carolina and Indiana are gone for the Democrats. Indiana was a fluke — due to proximity to...

“Well, at this point I have not,” Sanders said. “But I am now giving thought to doing it. You know, I think you know the names out there as well as I do. And I think the American people have got to be engaged. It’s not just me or anybody else here in Washington. There are a lot of smart honest progressive people who I think can be good presidents.”Sanders said such a challenge was necessary since in his estimation, the president had begun to take his position as the party leader for granted. And I think one of the...

"The Undefeated," the documentary about Sarah Palin, appears to have suffered box office defeat. The film opened in 10 locations last week and upped its exposure to 14 cities this weekend. But Reuters today reports that even as the number of screening venues increased, box office revenue has declined by more than 63 percent. It grossed only $24,000 this past weekend.

In related news, Tim Pawlenty just changed his name to “Generic Republican.”

Many Republicans are unhappy with their choices for president, especially after Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels declined to run. But the ideal GOP candidate was on display in Washington last week.
