Oh What A Tangled Web

November 15, 2014

  was sitting on a Delta flight out of Atlanta with Governor Jimmy Carter and Jody Powell. It was January 1976, two weeks before the Iowa caucuses.

Misrepresentation

August 28, 2014

have lately been deluged with requests for donations from various groups. These groups, various organizations of the Democratic Party and several devoted to specific causes, including gun control, veterans, the environment, immigrants and the similarly oriented, badger me constantly.

Crude Ted

What States Rights?

October 21, 2012

o you see anything wrong in the graphic? It’s right there in your face; perhaps too obvious. It’s a political statement by someone who considers himself a super patriot.

An Act of Error

October 18, 2012
