Iowa Being Iowa
E.J. Dionne surprises me this morning with his sudden discovery that populism sells in Iowa. He sees the rise of Mike Huckabee and John Edwards as an indicator of deep economic revolt, when it is nothing much more than Iowa being Iowa. The rise of both men could easily have been predicted, and […]
Last Show….
….of 2007.
Sorry to get your hopes up, but he….
…. is not going away. How can he, with the Iowa Caucuses scheduled for next Thursday? When the presidential campaign is barely at the halfway point? When there are still opportunities for him to go on the internet airwaves and so hybridize pedanticism and obnoxiousness in my own inimitable […]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEW YEAR’S EVE?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
NEW YEAR’S EVE?
“Maybe it’s much too early in the game
Ah, but I thought I’d ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year’s
New Year’s Eve?….”
We’re […]
Political Pistachio examines Political Correctness
Thursday, December 27th - 10pm Eastern Time -
This conversation is fueled by a bumper sticker I saw: “Too many Christians, not enough lions.”

The Late John Edwards
How can one make a case for running a government effectively when the candidate can’t even manage his own schedule? John Edwards has people scratching their heads in Iowa and everywhere else — because that’s all they can do when his campaign events are supposed to start:
Like Bill Clinton and Jesse Jackson before him, […]
The Ron Paul Disqualification
The more Ron Paul talks, the more he demonstrates his unfitness for the office he seeks — and maybe for the office he holds. Yesterday on Meet the Press, Paul came up with a number of stunners, but his take on Iran may have been the most clueless of all:
MR. RUSSERT: So if […]
Political Pistachio Examines The War On CHRISTmas

Judgment Day
What do Iranian nuclear armament, American nuclear disarmament, and Ah-nuld Schwartzeneggar have in common? In the Terminator’s own words, “Judgment Day is inevitable” - he just misidentifies the source.
Besides, it’s a welcome change of pace from the presidential race that seems years old already and still has a year to go.
Of course, if Jenber calls […]
Swiftboat Vets Set the Record Straight Dec. 27 with Andrea on BTR at 9 p.m. EST
A SHOW YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS –
Scott Swett joins us to set the record straight about the Swiftboat Vets successful campaign to halt John “Le Fraude” Kerry’s bid for the White House.
When a blogger noticed the typefont that proved the documents were fake, other bloggers joined the investigation, and before the camera […]
TONIGHT AT 9 - “A CONVERSATION WITH ANDREA AND …
Veteran anti-Clinton activist David N. Bossie has put out a web-based video trailer for his current work in progress, “Hillary, The Movie” a documentary that “aims to expose the truth about her conflicts in the past and her liberal plot for the future” that leads with footage of Obama criticizing the former First Lady.
The clip […]
Guess Who Gave Millions To The Clintons?
The Clintons have long kept hidden the identities of the donors to their foundation, and now we know why. The New York Times finally got a look at the books, and they discovered millions of dollars coming from people with a lot to lose during the Clinton administration. Shockingly, the pace of donations […]
A POLITICAL MARRIAGE tonight at 9 with Andrea
From their very first meeting in 1975, they recognized each other as political soulmates, committed not just to conservative principles but to getting things done. Over the years, they discussed and debated strategies, took strength from each other, celebrated each other’s triumphs, and commiserated with each other’s failures.
Bill and Hillary?
Not even close.
We’re talking about Ronald […]
ISRAEL - The Apple of God’s Eye - Tonight at 9 w/ Andrea
There is absolute outrage by many that the U.S. is hell-bent on dividing Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Prayer Team ( Dr. Tim LaHaye, Anne Graham Lotz, Pat Boone, Kay Arthur, and Dr. Jay Sekulow are just a few of the more than 300 Christian Leaders who are part of the Jerusalem Prayer Team) has issued […]
Rudy Not Rising
In fact, Rudy Giuliani has started to fade in the early states, according to a McClatchy analysis. Giuliani never planned to compete seriously in Iowa, but he expected to finish strong in New Hampshire and crush the competition in Florida, on his way to a Super Tuesday rout. That strategy has been eclipsed […]
CONGRESS SET TO SCREW US - AGAIN.
Eternal vigilance is the price we pay for liberty. Take a close look.
Our Congress is set to CUT FUNDING to the Border Fence.
Thankfully, some of us are peering through the looking glass (while too many others prefer to remain ignorant in hopes it will all go away…).
Steve Elliott, president of Grassfire Alliance and […]

Back Through The Looking Glass
I….
….have only just now arrived within the past forty-eight hours from vocational indisposition to find the Republican presidential race turned upside down (but still not improved) and the Democrat presidential race laboringly portrayed in a similar fashion. But you can’t fool an old Clintophobe, as I shall elaborate at 1PM Eastern/10AM Pacific.
Plus, if there’s time […]
Debate Wrapup
As usual, I really felt that Biden and Dodd presented themselves the best. They come across very solid at the podium compared to most of the Democratic frontrunners. But overall, I have to go with Fausta and Ed on this one. The replay of yesterday’s Republican debate nearly put me to sleep, but if anything, […]
Who won?
I’d say that no one said anything of note.
Dull, dull, dull.
And Hillary needs to work on that cackle.
Good question, Jazz
Biden probably knows he’s running for second place. Has a deal been struck with Obama?
Sure sounds like it.
One could do the crossword listening to this
This is as boring as yesterday’s debate, and I thought that would be very difficult to accomplish.
I missed yesterday’s but this one’s a humdinger, isn’t it!
Argh! Not the New Year’s Resolution!
We all know what they all want.
Is Obama Looking at Biden for Veep?
In the Dem debate going on right now, Joe Biden gave an answer regarding his credentials in areas of civil rights. When given the opportunity to respond, Obama spent his entire thirty seconds saying he was familiar with Biden’s record and “knew what was in his heart” and wanted to “testify (like we do in […]
Edwards: “Small group of entreched interests”
Like the medical malpractice lawyers?
Hillary: “Bush’s war on science”?
Cut and run,
tax and spend,
and throw money at everything else.
Same old, same old.
Throw money at it!
I love how the candidates will use art and music to improve math and science scores
Yup.
At least Richardson is the only one
who’s had hands-on administrative experience.
How does Obama propose to make indifferent parents become involved in their children’s education?
A national teaching university
Forget it!
Let’s have mathematicians, historians, and writers who can teach instead.
How do you preserve family farms?
How about stopping agricultural subsidies?
That would also improve world trade, btw.
Show of hands?
No!
By the time the Apollo program rolled in,
Hillary was NOT a little girl.
Yes, she is.
Is it just me, or is Hillary in serious “me-too” mode today?
I missed the point
of the eagle’s wings.
But that’s just me.
NAFTA
The Dems are confusing free trade with
a. trade with China
and b. protectionism
I blame Al Gore
Fausta’s live-blogging too! Cool. Had I known that, I would have done a normal HR live blog, but that’s OK — glad to have her along!
Thanks!
I had a change of schedule because of Global Warming. My appointment got cancelled because of icy roads.
Winter hasn’t even started yet.
Why do “people” think Fred’s lazy…
… because he speaks with a Southern accent and nobody acuses Edwards of the same?
To answer your question,
Where was she when the Bush administration wanted to hold a “bipartisan commission”? How come she didn’t support that effort in 2005?
Not under Bill’s desk!
Hillary wants fiscal responsibility
How does she expect to reduce drug prices if not through government subsidies?
Somebody give Carolyn Washburn
… a makeover - and caffeine, please!
Is it me, Ed…
… or am I hearing “higher taxes, higher taxes…”?
Live-Blogging The Democrats
What’s this? Heading Right covering a Democratic debate? Sure! It’s the last major debate before the Iowa caucus, and we’ll take a conservative perspective on what’s happening on the Left. I’ll blog this in reverse-chronological order, a change from my usual format; latest thoughts will be on top (just below this […]
In last night’s podcast: Venezuela, and Oil
Last night Miguel of The Devil’s Excrement, Siggy and I started by discussing maletagate - the story of the Venezuelan caught trying to go into Argentina with US$ 800,000 in cash in a suitcase intended for Kirchner’s campaign. Said Venezuelan had taken 11 trips to Argentina prior to the one when he was caught.
Daniel of […]
Debate Sort Of Live Blog, Once Removed
Working on the debate before the show, will watch most of it after Heading Right Radio. I’ll live blog, in a fashion.
1:03 - No questions on Iraq and immigration? Well, that’s pretty silly. Iowans may think they know the candidate positions on both, but why not dig a little deeper rather than […]
EMBED DAD WRITES ABOUT WAR HIS SON IS FIGHTING TONIGHT AT 9 EST WITH ANDREA
“It’s hard to go about your everyday business knowing your son is in harm’s way, but documenting first-hand accounts of their battles helped me cope.”
So wrote Prof. Andrew Lubin in his book Charlie Battery; A Marine Artillety Unit in Iraq — the story of his son and his battery fighting in the initial invasion […]
Political Vindication Radio… Tonight 6pm PST
Tonight on Political Vindication Radio we talk to Vicki from Not Ready For My Burqa blog. She’s here to discuss the untold story of the rampant kidnappings of contractors in Iraq. Contractors are employed by the American government to do many of the things that the military won’t do - including armed guards, […]
HILLARY UNCENSORED! tonight - Peter Paul discloses all with Andrea at 9 p.m. EST
I’ve got a video that is smokin’ hot. And tonight, we’ll be talking with the man behind it — Peter Paul, Hollywood internet entrepreneur and Hillary’s largest 2000 donor turned whistle-blower.
In this vid, Peter Paul exposes how Bill and Hill conspired to hoodwink a million dollar donor and avoid accountability to the government and […]
First To Go Negative Is A Rotten Egg!
With less than four weeks to go before the Iowa caucuses, the presidential campaigns have begun pulling out all stops for the first contest of the primary season. Mitt Romney has gone negative first, stunned by a rapid rise by Mike Huckabee and a potential embarrassing loss in a state where he invested heavily. […]
TONIGHT AT 9 - “A CONVERSATION WITH ANDREA AND …
On tonight’s program, Monday guest co-host Doug Gibbs and I will talk with Wayne Allyn Root, Libertarian Party candidate for president.
Root’s recent guest appearance with radio host Michael Medved was anything but pleasant. Here’s what he says about it:
“I was a guest on Michael Medved’s nationally syndicated radio show a few days ago…. […]
Paygo Just Another Confidence Scheme
The Democrats have insisted that the “paygo” rules enforce fiscal discipline, except when they don’t. They gave up on paygo when they voted for the AMT patch that will save middle-class taxpayers from a $50 billion Congressional mistake. The Wall Street Journal explains that paygo never really represented fiscal responsibility, but instead presented […]

Debate with Tom, Round 2
A while back I asked that liberal blogger, Tom, that used to troll around Political Pistachio, and the very same liberal blogger that loves to talk junk on me on his site, onto my radio show to do a little debating. It was fun. However, the last debate was not structured […]
