Prior to the election I voiced my concerns about McCain. Most took it in the spirit it was offered - McCain got my vote although not enthusiastically. I honestly had reservations over his attacks on the free market (greed lingo) and his willingness to scold conservatives at every turn while giving the benefit of doubt to liberals. Here is my McCain take: he was a hero and for that I thank him for his effort. But today and for the last 20+ years he is simply a politician. He turned out to be a guy who thrives on throwing his...

I can't wait to vote for Sarah Palin. John McCain on the other hand, my vote could wait forever. But I will dutifully pull the lever for Mr. Reduced Nanny State not as a vote of approval but a vote against Mr. Osama More Freedom Taker. You see folks, this isn't a question of how many freedoms are under attack, its a question of where they start. The first thing I will do Nov. 5th is call my congress critter and tell him to play 'stop the insanity". No matter who wins. What motivates you to vote this time around?

The best beers in the world are ranked by seasoned professionals. I would have never guessed that Drie Fonteinen Schaarbeekse Kriek was considered numero uno. Particularly in light of the fact I can't pronounce it much less ever had a sip.

What would you think if the government decided that that the price of bread was way too high and decided to open up a chain of bakeries to sell bread at the "correct" price? What if the government decided that Florida orange juice was priced too high and started selling orange juice by the barrel?

Planning travel to Macon next month. Any suggestions about hotels, restaurants, sites to visit, etc? Any place to avoid?

"As President of the Men's Club for not one; not two; but for THREE terms, it is my honor to announce that Temple Beth Israel proudly casts 132 votes for the Next President of the United States, Vice President Al Gore, and one vote for Bush by that putz, Metzner, who never goes along with anything everyone else wants to do including repainting the party room in time for the High Holy Days last year and that's why nobody likes him and, by the way, I happen to know he doesn't separate his bottles before he puts his garbage down ...

reporting in....Bush won TWICE, Bush won TWICE!! Todays 2pm protest in Dallas, with Free Republic on one side of Commerce St and Gorebots on the other, went very well. We countered the Dem crowd with a great show of support. TV was there in force. AP photographers also. Several of our team got quality face-time. Most wore Band-Aids on the right cheek...brought lots of questions.Just finished watching the media reaction to us...here are the results from the 6pm (CST) evening news.CBS (ch 11): 30 seconds with an interview of both sides of Commerce Street. Way to go Becki... you are ...

Regular readers of Mullings know that I do not - not-subscribe to the theory that the national press corps awakens every morning to a national conference call to discuss how best to put the screws to the Republican Party generally, and to its candidates specifically. Regular readers also know that I DO subscribe to the theory that reporters are like basketball referees - they aren't lying and they aren't cheating, but the home team almost always gets the close call under the basket.

How many of you have been audited OR otherwise tapped by the IRS? Based upon recent news regarding the disproportionate number of conservative organizations (see Rush interview with Mark Levin) selected as targets for audit, I was curious whether or not anyone here has a war story to tell. If you are now (or have recently been) in their crosshairs, what were the circumstances? Did they say you owed more than you thought you owed? How was the overall experience? Were they fair or true to form? How long did the entire process last? What advice would you give to ...
