Personally, I don't think of Sarah Palin as the resurrection of anyone but rather the first Sarah Palin, but Michael Reagan sees it differently. He says Welcome Back, DadI’ve been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan to emerge and lead our party and our nation. I insisted that we’d never see his like again

You might think that's just pure luck, but there's a way to get more of this. Fred Thompson has started a Political Action Committee to promote true conservatives like Governor Palin and to help get them elected to office wherever he may find them. I've signed on and I have a widget up on the top right of the page where you can go contribute. You can also go and sign up at FredPAC.com to do

It's hard to get a solid read on things viewing just my tiny little slice of Americana, but Governor Palin's speech last night looks to go down as truly historic. A lot of the fence sitters, be it Democrat, Independent, or Republican, became committed to Palin. We'll see next week when the poll watchers chime in, but my unscientific polls indicate a huge grab by the McCain/Palin ticket. I think

As you all know, Governor Sarah Palin delivered a speech at the RNC last night and man, did she nail it. Listening to the media review it and downplay it because it was written for her and all she had to do was read it (which just so happens to be what all the candidates do), then to find out this morning that her teleprompter broke partway through and she just winged it the rest of the way

I certainly didn't get my presidential pick, but at least my top VP pick is made. Now, I can actually support McCain. Palin's likeabilty factor is off the charts.

If you aren't going to vote for Obama, you'll need to be prepared for that question. I've said all along that many people are going to vote for Obama merely under the false assumption that it will end racism. They will be dead wrong. The Democrats will never allow racism to end. My view is an over simplistic version of what the actual deal is though.John Hawkins over at Right Wing News covers it

From Right Wing News it's broken down pretty well in Entitlements or Strength?The WSJ connects the dots between Obamenomics and military weakness: Given the hearty support Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama received in Europe last month, he must have noticed the surprise and skepticism among some Germans when he asked that Europeans contribute more for defense.

He says he wants to give you $1,000 and he's going to make "big oil" pay for it.The first obvious fact, to everyone except Obama anyway, is that the consumer will be stuck with paying it right on back to "big oil" as they can't afford to stay in business running at break even and so the only option they will have is to raise gas prices to cover the cost. Obama's logic for this? He believes the

The lead Democrat is making sure you have to pay a high price for gas because she will not do anything about it.

Ed Morrissey over at HotAir comments on it, but I'll route you via Uncle Jimbo at Blackfive who says Maliki RoarsMaliki has been much maligned in the press as unable to create unity or at least put Iraq on the path to reconciliation. Much of that criticism ignored the fact that reconciliation is near impossible during sectarian violence and until the people could feel safe in their homes and

While hitting some of the milblog sites I ran across this from Teflon Don at Acute Politics called Musings and MemoriesWho's up for some war stories? Ok, maybe not *exactly* war stories, but I've been mumbling through old memories of Iraq recently. This post will be pretty much stream-of-consciousness, so continue reading only if you want a look inside.

You've probably heard it already, but Al Qaeda's #1 guy in Iraq hasn't been captured. The Iraqi's nabbed someone with a similar name.Even without that though, The Sadrists are getting beaten badly and Mookie has tried to make peace again. The jury is still out, but it looks as if the ISF and coalition forces are continuing to thin the Mahdi army ranks. Mookie is becoming lesser and lesser as each

From Bill Roggio over at The Long War Journal is a breaking news story - Abu Ayyub al Masri, al Qaeda in Iraq’s leader, reported captured in Mosul.An unconfirmed report from the Iraqi Defense Ministry spokesman said al Masri has been captured in the northern city and is in Iraqi Army custody. The US military has not confirmed al Masri’s capture.

I purchased a signed copy when he first announced it was going to be available, but unfortunately, haven't got to reading it yet. I'll try and start on it tonight.

Well, that was a little bit of work. Not too bad, but the exhaust hanging brackets are in some real tight quarters. I see why the need for the ratcheting box end wrenches. A couple of those bolts needed that. Anyway, successful wrenching on the Mustang, with the exception of some alignment issues. I'll have to loosen some clamps and maybe bend some mounting rods to get the pipes centered in the

Okay, so I've been seriously lacking in the blogging department lately. Sorry about that. I've been tinkering with the Mustang. That, of course, means tinker a little, then drive it for awhile, then tinker some more. I finally picked up all the car parts and shipping boxes out of the living room so I think I'm caught up on the Mustang. At least for now anyway.The Mustang now has higher voltage

Half hour in the garage to swap back in the K&N cold air induction system and to reprogram the computer on the Mustang and I've gained about 30 hosses. That's with the most conservative of the three tunes. Should be in pretty good shape with the 91 octane torque tune, as well as the

I have some on going issues with Mustang. It’s not bad, just running a little flat. Nothing drastic but it’s not “on song” like it was a month ago. I got with my electrician to diagnose the problem.
