Michele Bachmann: Not Palin’s Clone
The media was forced to learn an important lesson on Monday night: not all conservative women are the same. Prior to the Republican debate on Monday, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was some lesser-known clone of Palin: Brown hair, large family, good looks, conservative, nasal accents… They treated her the same way because of some ridiculous tech [...]
Calling All the Conservative Girls in DC
If you’re in DC this summer, don’t miss this opportunity for young (and young at heart) conservative women. On Friday, June 24, the Network of enlightened Women will hold their annual conference at the Heritage Foundation. This one-day event will feature Kate O’Beirne, author of Women Who Made the World Worse, and other opportunities to [...]
Feminists Continue to Turn Blind Eye on Weiner’s Lewd Behavior
The Twitter scandal of Anthony Weiner, aka “Weinergate” took a bizarre turn today that even political satire writers could have imagined. This morning, Big Government, part of the Breitbart family of websites, released two photos that were allegedly of Weiner and proved that he had engaged in sexually inappropriate online activities with a number of [...]
Weiner Makes Lewd Comments to Female Reporter, But It’s Ok Since He’s Liberal
If you’ve followed the ordeal of Rep. Anthony Weiner and his recent Twitter issues, the story seems to get more bizarre by the day. Regardless of what you think happened, on Wednesday a rather sexist dialogue occurred in the U.S. Capitol between Rep. Weiner and Emily Miller, a senior editor at the Washington Times. Until [...]
Coming to TN in 2014: The Abortion Debate
On Friday, the Tennessee House voted to put an amendment regarding abortion on the ballot for 2014. Per the Chattanooga Times-Free Press: The vote was 76-18 to approve Senate Joint Resolution 127, which is intended to nullify a 2000 Tennessee Supreme Court ruling and give state lawmakers the ability to impose some restrictions on abortions [...]

The CPAC Gut-Check
Note: this is my promised wrap-up post for Blogher, which was published this afternoon. Each year conservatives converge on Washington, DC for the Conservative Political Action Conference. Started in 1973 by the American Conservative Union, the event has grown to be the largest right-wing conference of the year. This past weekend, more than 11,000 people [...]
Read MoreCheck Out FreedomConnector
If you work in digital media long enough, you’ll see any number of new platforms and websites promising to be the answer to all of our woes on the right. Unlike many of these roll-outs, some of which I’ve been a part of, I think FreedomWorks‘ new FreedomConnector has potential. The new online activism tool [...]
Read MoreCPAC 2011 Wrap-up
While I plan on doing a more detailed CPAC post for Blogher, here are some highlights before I forget. As usual, the exciting stuff happened behind-the-scenes. It’s worth going to CPAC to catch up with folks, meet new friends, network and enjoy the atmosphere. Don’t waste time on the speeches. Watch them later online or [...]
Read MoreFashion Crimes of CPAC: Day 1
Just in case you thought there might be the smallest amount of exaggeration in my two previous post on CPAC attire, below are pixs highlighting some of the crimes. [photospace] If you want to see more of this, check out People of CPAC. On the whole, young women dressed much more acceptably this year. There [...]
Read MoreThe History of CPAC
CPAC 2011 starts next Thursday. Despite all of the drummed up controversy surrounding it and GOProud, I’m still looking forward to the event. Where else do you see all the famous pundits, learn about a wide-range of policy issue and network with other conservatives from around the country? CPAC just released a video on the [...]
Read MoreGood start to GOP House?
In news that makes makes my cold, hard conservative heart happy, the House is scheduled to vote on a repeal of Obamacare on Friday. Now I realize that this is largely symbolic, and it has very little chance of actually succeeding, but it signals that House Republicans appear to be listening to the base. Rasmussen [...]
Read More10 Most Memorable Political Videos on the Right
While this election cycle may have gotten a lot of press as the “year of the conservative woman,” it should also be noted that this was the first cycle where viral video took off. Video has had a presence since 2004, but it wasn’t until this cycle that congressional and statewide races started taking advantage [...]
Read MoreKick Moran Out
With so many Congressional seats up for grabs this November, quite a few of the maybes are falling through the cracks. Sadly, one of those races is in the backyard of all the fancy consultants, gurus and experts who live in DC and Northern Virginia. It is possible that Patrick Murray could pick off Jim [...]
Read MoreSupport Patrick Murray in VA-8
Several weeks ago, I was thrilled to see Republicans at the Del Ray farmers’ market. As much as I love this quirky little neighborhood, it’s easier to find a cheap apartment than another conservative. Apparently, there’s a real Republican running for Congress in my district. Since Rep. Moran actually sent a glossy newsletter to the [...]
Read MoreHey Weigel, Sometimes Google Helps
Dave Weigel, the former WaPo-turned-Slate interpreter of Conservative Land, is probably a good guy, but he reminds me of an an insecure fraternity pledge. He’s willing and eager to sell out his values and integrity to make it into the brotherhood of the liberal cool kids, yet he still tries to stay friends with the [...]
