Sources close to man himself are confirming that Tom is in the 2012 hunt. I've been on the phone all evening with various operatives - it's likely that you'll hear more from Fox tomorrow. Hard to say how this will impact the other contenders, but I wouldn't want to mud-wrestle this man. There's blood in the water.
"I knew that we'd be buddies when I met her when she said, 'Drill here, drill now.' And then I replied, 'Drill, baby, drill' and then we both said, 'You betcha!'"-- Sarah Palin, quoted by theWall Street Journal, recalling a previous meeting with Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN).
I'm not a big fan of the rock music, but these fellas put together a special number for John McCain, and it's a toe-tapper.
Once again, Fanque drags the noble Tea Party activists into his specious argument, and as he almost always does, mischaracterizes nearly everything the Republican Party stands for. His title for the article? "The steaming pile in D.C. is almost up to Obama's Adam's Apple:::::BHO catches fire again."It has become abundantly clear that the Republicans and the Tea Party People think they have found the winning issue in their quest to return to power. From chairman Michael Steele to windbag Mitch McConnell, the GOP have said that they will hold the Democrats feet to the fire for passing health care reform come November.
Essentially the Republicans intend to campaign on their twisted belief that there is nothing wrong with the way insurance companies do business. In fact, the GOP seems to say, we probably need to cut them even more leeway. [Ed's note: how's that free-enterprisey stuff workin' for ya?]
Sarah Palin has criticised Mr Obama's health care reform proposals Photo: EPA The former Republican vice presidential candidate has been a frequent critic of big government and has lambasted Barack Obama's health care reforms as ushering in socialised medicine, denouncing his plans as "downright evil". 
Who doesn't love Ted Nugent? Wimps and liberals - which is a redundant way of saying: losers. "Terrible Ted" produced some of the most audaciously awesome music ever, and is now a respected commentator on the direction of our bloated, whining government. His recent piece in the Washington Times (DC's real paper), "NUGENT: Republicans must change to win," is nearly perfect. The same guy that wrote "Cat Scratch Fever" is clearly at the top of the intellectual heap these days, as shown here:"It's time to clean out the House and the Senate. True change is voting out the entrenched, hopelessly disconnected Fedzillacrats and replacing them with statesmen and women who care about America's future more than their political skins.
While many independents and Republicans are celebrating Mr. Brown's historic victory,I remain extremely suspicious of the Republican Party. Clearly, both the Democratic and Republican parties have been overtly guilty of grotesque and irresponsible pork spending and support of bigger, more unaccountable government. They are both as guilty as possible.So, while many pundits are wondering what message the president and the left truly got from the Brown victory, we are wondering just what message the Republican Party received from the Massachusetts massacre."
Andrew Bolt: "What continually amazes me is that Leftists such as Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane still pride themselves on their greater moral sense... I thought MacFarlane using his show to brand John McCain and Palin as Nazis was already low... But using a politician’s Down Syndrome child as the butt of your jokes is depraved."
Judie Brown: "Palin is a very public figure and she has ticked off a whole lot of people, not only on the far left but in the Republican Party as well. But the question is, does any of that justify using a special needs child as the foundation for unscrupulous personal attacks? No, not in a civilized country anyway. However, this... latest episode involving Trig Palin and his disability could be the emerging signal that American culture is not to be considered civilized in any way. Perhaps the culture — or at least those who frame the attitudes in the culture — has not been so for many years... Such a disposition suggests that attacks on Down syndrome children are really nothing more than another element in the formula for the American culture's dehumanization of the vulnerable."
The President can perfume this proposal however he wants, but it still doesn’t pass the smell test.
The rising cost of care has driven the entire health care reform debate. So how does the President’s proposal address this central issue? Price controls. That’s right: Washington, D.C. wants to give a panel of bureaucrats the power to cap insurance premiums and prices. As Michael Cannon of the Cato Institute notes, “artificially limiting premium growth allows the government to curtail spending while leaving the dirty work of withholding medical care to private insurers.” This leads to rationing. Any economist worth his salt – including the White House’s own Larry Summers – will tell you that price controls lead to all sorts of negative unintended consequences. It’s another step towards government controlled health care and away from the real solution: free market, patient-centered reform. 
Sarah Palin will not only help to re-launch Jay Leno's second stint as The Tonight Show host but will serve as an example for other conservatives and those leaders in the Tea Party Patriot movement that late night can be a welcome home for its supporters and viewers.
There are of course the naysayers on the left coast who believe that Jay Leno's booking of Sarah Palin on The Tonight Show in such a high visibility slot only gives credence and support for a possible positioning of a run for the presidency in 2012 as well as a confirmation, of sorts, of the array of traditional values that she and conservatives hold dear.
Yet what is startling for some is the possibility that again, Sarah Palin is showing that it is the quality of her character and the widespread appeal she has to Americans that confuses her detractors. She appeals to those who live not just in the middle of the country, which has been traditionally considered the heartland, but also reaches into the neighborhoods and homes of residents on both coasts.
One thing after another keeps popping up to further discredit the theory of man-made global warming. The IPCC’s supposedly definitive report proving the theory is riddled with serious errors. The organization has been publicly chastised by everyone from its former chair to the heads of the UK’s biggest funder of climate research and Greenpeace UK. One of the world’s top climate change scientists, Prof. Phil Jones, has conceded that there’s been no significant warming since 1995; that the medieval period may have been warmer than today; and that he’s had trouble even keeping track of raw data crucial to the global warming theory. Yet President Obama still seeks to create a federal office for global warming, and they’re still talking about mandating their cap-and-tax plan that's based on discredited data.
Jesus was gay, according to Sir Elton John. The singer makes this controversial claim about the Lord in an interview that is sure to inspire CD burnings, and worse. And he did it in--unbelievable--America's Favorite Magazine, Parade! Please someone, save us from ourselves.
On my way back to my hotel in Washington, D.C., I was caught in a hellish traffic jam. I asked a cop walking between cars "hey, what's the hold-up?"
