Well, it sure didn’t take long. The Democrats are singing a different tune after taking a shellacking at the ballot box yesterday. Overnight, mandates have given way to working together to move forward. Suddenly gridlock is the worst thing that could ever happen. Well, it bears repeating–again and again and again–that this is what happens every time Democrats face a setback in their political agendas. Full article after the jump »

Memorization. That’s not a very fun word for most. I enjoy acting as a pastime, but I consider memorizing my lines the trade-off to all the fun. In high school I was in the band. Every so often, the director had us memorize a piece. Yuk! I was also a member of the public speaking club. It’s a lot more fun to write a speech than to memorize it, even when it’s your own words. Church school included memorization of many, many Bible verses. And in sixth grade, I had an English teacher who felt it was very important to practice memorizing speeches and poems.

I really want to do my part. That’s why this video needs to go viral. But first, a little info. The four-minute short, titled “No Pressure,” comes from comedy writer Richard Curtis and was produced for the 10:10 Environmental Campaign . It was posted to the organization’s website on September 30 and, as best as I can tell, was pulled before 2pm the same day. As to why it was pulled, I can only offer the film itself as explanation.

Oh, I could just pull my hair out over this one. Because no one watches C-SPAN, we all have to tip our hats to the internet for passing this gem around. It’s Cass Sunstein, White House Administrator of Regulatory Affairs, telling us what we already know, that he (along with the entire administration) has no regard for the Constitution.

The Democrat party website has a new look for the November election season. Seems kind of a last-minute, especially when one considers the amount of thought, or lack thereof, apparently put into the new logo and slogan. Full article after the jump »

I've been listening to far too much coverage of the 8/28 Restoring Honor Rally, and do you know what I keep hearing? I keep hearing about race. Race, race, race! Full article after the jump »

No surprise, HuffPo has a lot of MB devoted to trashing the Restoring Honor Rally on their site, much of which read as though they had actually been written before the rally. There are so many articles, I won't bother linking to any but my favorite, a photo gallery entitled Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor Rally: The Most Ridiculous Messages . Unfortunately, this morning the article boasted 30 photos, but as of right now, that number has been culled to 20. I wish I'd thought to grab them all, just to show how non-ridiculous many of them were. For example, one missing photo depicts a pleasant, likely octogenarian lady, wearing a stars and stripes scarf and smiling for the camera. Totally ridiculous, right? Even though the folks at HuffPo have culled their selection to the most "ridiculous" I don't think they even hold a candle to The Best Anti-Glenn Beck Signs At The 'Restoring Honor' Rally . Anyway, I perused and participated in the flood of comments accom...
