John Stephen for NH 1st CD…

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I officially endorse John Stephen in the upcoming Republican Primary for New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet and speak with John on a couple of occasions and I’ve sincerely been impressed by him. John has served as a prosecutor, both for Hillsborough …

“We Are All Hussein?…”

One of my favorite bloggers, Debbie Schlussel, writes this morning about one of the most asinine things I’ve ever heard: From the New York Times: Emily Nordling has never met a Muslim, at least not to her knowledge.

They attribute all kinds of racist/bigoted/homophobic stereotypes and present that as their definition–and it’s one that’s widely parroted by liberal members of …

RIP, Tim Russert…

Sad news at this hour: Tim Russert, the longest-serving host of television’s longest-running program–NBC’s “Meet The Press”–died today in Washington after suffering a heart attack. He was 58 years old. He was, not uncharacteristically, at work at the Washington Bureau of NBC News. To say that I’m stunned is an understatment. There was no one …
