HoodaThunk?

I head on the news yesterday (but was away from my computer and therefore didn’t post an entry) that acting great Paul Newman has died. He will be sorely missed.

No, I’m not talking about the bailout talks. I’m in transit back from the biz conference I was attending. Be back to blogging soon.

I make a point of reading Too Conservative on a daily basis, even while traveling, but I haven’t been able to get through to the site for the past several days. When I go there, I get this: Forbidden You don’t have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was [...]

Via Instapundit there’s this follow-up by John Althouse Cohen to a post titled, “How Obama Lost Me.” Quick point: Obama didn’t “lose” him in terms of how he’s going to vote in November, just that the rose-colored shades have been knocked from JAC’s eyes by Obama’s words and deeds of late.

With all of the buzz going on about the Chevy Volt it was only a matter of time before the rest of Detroit got in on the action. Chrysler lifted the veil on 3 new electric vehicles today, the products of their 2007 ENVI program. In 2007, Chrysler announced the launch of a program called [...]

Victory, my friends. Democrats have decided to allow a quarter-century ban on drilling for oil off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts to expire next week, conceding defeat in a months-long battle with the White House and Republicans set off by $4 a gallon gasoline prices this summer. House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, D-Wis., told [...]

When NYC Mayor Bloomberg went on his little undercover, unauthorized “sting” operation a couple of years ago, he met with a cold welcome here in the Old Dominion. As a result of his frankly illegal investigation, Virginia signed into law specific language that will result in State charges for the next crazy jackass that tries [...]
