Maryland Boy Does Good

5:21 am EST July 27th, 2007 | News | 16 Comments

Almost forgot about this. This weekend, Maryland’s own Cal Ripken, Jr. (place of birth: Havre de Grace, MD) is going into the baseball hall of fame. I pooh-pooh baseball a lot, but Ripken’s a great guy and was a great player. Maryland’s Iron Man.

Ripken retired in 2002 as one of seven players in major league history with more than 400 home runs and 3,000 hits. He won two MVP awards, was the 1982 rookie of the year, won two Gold Gloves and was named to the All-Star team an AL-record 19 times.

Oh, and he also played in 2,632 consecutive games, more than anyone in MLB history.

Conservative Don Surber Sends Us A Dispatch From The Land Of Make Believe

The surge is working! A Republican congressman says so. Another Republican congressman says so.

Well that settles it. Call up John McCain, I think it’s time we went shopping in Baghdad again.

(This is the part where I usually ask, rhetorically, “do they really think we’re this stupid?” But the historical record says, yes, they do.)

Kathyrn Jean Lopez: Gay Sex Is Like Bestiality

11:45 pm EST July 26th, 2007 | News | 15 Comments

National Review’s Kathryn Jean Lopez has a Rick Santorum moment and says the reason a bestiality case happened in Massachusetts is because of gay marriage. Conservatism and bigotry, their status as synonyms just hasn’t been officially recognized yet. By the way, Lopez is Mitt Romney’s biggest supporter at National Review, any surprise?

Fred Thompson Flops At Fundraising

6:27 pm EST July 26th, 2007 | Uncategorized | 7 Comments

All that hype, all that hoopla, for a puny $3 million? You gotta be kidding me.

Sources close to the presumptive campaign tell NBC News that Fred Thompson’s fundraising is down “markedly.” One claimed it has “slowed down big-time.” The pace is described as a consequence of the delayed announcement to enter the race.”The Friends of Fred, Inc.” will report to the IRS its revenue by July 31st. Sources reveal to NBC News that number will be in the range of about $3 million.

That number would put him below or just at the level of second and third tier candidates on both sides of the aisle including Sam Brownback, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, and even Ron Paul.

That media-inflated bubble seems to be getting the air let out.
