Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Matt Stinson discusses the left’s never-ending attempt to define Bush as a radical conservative. No really, he is a radical conservative- stop giggling.
