An open records request by Palin-obsessed Alaskan Andree McLeod has uncovered the shocking revelation that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin uses a device known as the “telephone.” Records show that Palin not only uses this device to accept two-way voice communication – known as “calls” – from others, she also uses the “telephone” to, in fact, initiate voice contact with third parties in other locations ...

An analysis of the list of Chrysler dealers closed down by the Obama-run auto maker show that many were donors to Republican candidates and Democrat rivals of Barack Obama during the 2008 election cycle.

Every one of us who attended a tea party... EVERY ONE... has got to follow up with action. Get bumper stickers “Obama: Destroying Capitalism One Day at a Time.” “Cut Frivolous Spending, NOT the US Military” Dump (your local liberal Democrat congressman) Put up yard signs NOW ... don’t wait until this fall. Put them on roadsides, not just in yards. At key intersections. “Proud to be an American capitalist: Ashamed of Obama” “Proud to be a Christian nation: Ashamed of Obama” I’ve done it in my town, and it was so effective the local liberal newspaper did stories about...

We need suggestions for good solid rock n roll (preferrably American) songs to upload onto our sound system for the opening and ending of the Apr. 18 Bucks County Tea Party in Upper Makefield, Pennsylvania. Steppenwolf's "Ride With Me" and "It's Never Too Late" are two good choices, but we need more. Any help?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 8, 2009, Doylestown, PA Kitchen Table Patriots Plan Bucks County Tea Party Modern patriots are planning over two thousand tea parties across the country, and Bucks County is no longer an exception. The Bucks County TEA Party is planned for April 18 at Washington Crossing Historic Park, the site of General George Washington’s Christmas crossing of the Delaware River.. Out of dire necessity to have their voices heard on the course this nation is headed, the tea4change group, created the Bucks County Tea Party to provide local area residents with an opportunity to express their views....

A Tea Party has been planned at the exact spot where Gen. George Washington and his troops launched a surprise attack across the Delaware River in 1776 and eventually motivated a young American nation to shake the bonds of tyrrany. The Tea Party has been dubbed the Kitchen Table tea party because of the two women who organized it are just "two normal moms" who have seven kids between them. .

They called it history-making here in Minneapolis. Yesterday, Elissa Reinsma became the first female to compete in the state high school wrestling tournament. It was not a step forward. Some cultures spend a thousand years unlearning the brutality of men toward women.

As a boy, Harrison Tyler never gave much thought to his grandfather, John Tyler, the 10th president of the United States. "I grew up during World War II," he told Subaru Drive Magazine in 2002, "and surviving the war and the shortages was what was on everybody's mind. Being related to a president was never a thought." Such a view may seem astonishing, but President Tyler died in 1862, 66 years before his grandson was born. In fact, Harrison Tyler's father, Lyon Gardiner Tyler, was born in 1853 and died in 1935, so there were very few first-hand accounts of...

When the American Civil War began, president Abraham Lincoln was far less prepared for the task of commander in chief than his Southern adversary. Jefferson Davis had graduated from West Point (in the lowest third of his class, to be sure), commanded a regiment that fought intrepidly at Buena Vista in the Mexican War and served as secretary of war in the Franklin Pierce administration from 1853 to 1857.

Today President George W. Bush will hand over to his successor a Middle Eastern foreign policy outlook far brighter than the one he inherited from Bill Clinton.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3, 2008 – While Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates will stay in office in President-elect Barack Obama’s administration, other Bush administration political appointees will move on, a Pentagon spokesman said today.

The 34-year-old Chester man must serve six to 23 months of home confinement after his sentencing Monday in Delaware County, reports the Associated Press.

What has been made absolutely clear in this election is that the Republican Party has an abundance of class acts when what it really needs are hard core community organizers. On Tuesday, my Democrat neighborhood was inundated with canvassers leaving posters of Democrat candidates and offering assistance to get to the poll. I have never seen a Republican do the same but then I've always lived in the poorer part of town.

Senator Jim DeMint let John McCain and George Bush have it at a gathering of top level Republicans at Myrtle Beach yesterday. The South Carolina conservative spared few words in lambasting the Arizona senator :

It might not change the election, but it sure feels good paying back those who dissed this great nation by supporting Barack Obama. Actually, it's the method which is so sweet. (cont)

Make no mistake; this was a drubbing. This was a Hillary vs. Lazio drubbing. This was a “Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy” drubbing. This was “I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent’s youth and inexperience,” and the opponent can only stand there and laugh along.

Anyone else notice how weird and disheveled Obama looked during his speech to the Clinton Global Initiative, or whatever it is, in Clearwater, Florida.

Every Obama answer was certainly thoughtful enough but he seemed to want to explain himself too much and went out of his way not to offend folks who disagree with him. Don't get me wrong, this will play well with some but McCain's directness and snappy answers that were on message allowed him to look commanding on that stage.

General Jerry Ralph Curry served 34 years in the U.S. Army, and how, at the age of 76, he wants to be president. He is one of the 18 candidates on Oklahoma's Feb.5 presidential primary ballot. In a face-to-face encounter, Curry looks like a man in his 50s. The son of a steelworker, Curry enlisted in the Army during the Korean Conflict. Starting as a buck private, he embarked on a career that left him a major general. Curry has mixed African, European and American Indian ancestry.
