Well, not exactly, but there is finally someone whose endorsement means something to me. Ray Scott, founder of the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (BASS) has just endorsed Mike Huckabe: “I am really pumped about Huckabee’s candidacy,” says Scott.

What might Barack’s Obama’s fall look like were he to win the Democratic presidential nomination?

A friend sent this picture to me – a father, a son, snow, Baghdad…. the first time in a 100 years. My friend wrote, “After all Baghdad’s people have suffered in the past few years, God gives them a gift of pure wonder and delight. God is an artist.” A thin place indeed.

Wow – someone finally plugged in Fred Thompson to something. After running for president for months and months at a low idle, Fred seems to have guzzled some Red Bull.

Karl Rove’s oped on Hillary’s New Hampshire victory contain all sorts of tasty nuggets… and that is before the fun stuff – analyzing why he is saying what he is saying. Here’s my first pass. Karl Rove is a political marathoner. Pull into your mind a picture of one of those small, quick Kenyan marathoners.…

For instance, 72% of those polled thought the church was full of hypocrites. Similarly, 79% thought that the church was more about…

Anne Rice has just posted a video on YouTube celebrating Hillary’s New Hampshire win and suggesting a Clinton/Obama ticket. Ms. Rice says she is “pro-life”, “a Democrat” and “for Hillary.” Here it is:This video isn’t just the video of a famed female novelist exulting in Sen. Clinton’s win. It is also the voice of a…
