It came to our attention that The Hill newspaper hosts a blog specifically for Members of Congress. What’s suprising, is that Congressman Joe Wilson has a pretty good piece up there.

A buddy passed along an interesting article from the Boston Globe today about faux bloggers posing as part of the genuine netroots community, only to be found out as paid operatives. Okay, not a whole lot of suprises, but our buddy got a big kick out of it because of the recent paranoid-psychotic comments from the McCain campain about us being [...]

Last week as we where attending the spectacular Spartanburg County Republican Party’s President’s Day Dinner, we noticed on a palm card promoting Sen. Brownback’s Presidential Campaign that said he too wants to join the fight to stop Manbearbig. I’m serious.
