Tom Leatherwood at the TFA

I have posted my rather extensive notes from Tom Leatherwood's talk to the Shelby County chapter of the Tennessee Firearms Association over on TennWatch. Leatherwood is challenging incumbent Marsha Blackburn for Tennessee's 7th congressional district.

Still a Fred Head

Fred Dalton Thompson is back dispensing his wisdom and sharing his opinion, blogging on Townhall.com. A portion of his first article:

First, conservatism is alive and well in America; don’t let anyone tell you differently. And by conservatism, I don’t mean the warmed-over “raise your hand if you believe …” kind of conservatism we see blooming every election cycle. No, I’m speaking of the conservatism grounded in principles based upon enduring truths: an understanding of the importance of human nature in the affairs of individuals and nations. Respect for the lessons of history, the importance of faith and tradition. The understanding that while man is prone to err, he is capable of great things when not subjugated by a too-powerful government. These are the principles that inspired our Founding Fathers, and resulted in a Constitution that delineated the powers of the central government, established checks and balances among the branches of government and further diffused governmental power by a system of Federalism.

I missed ya, Fred. Glad to have you back.

Obama Bites Hillary on Rosenmontag

The Germans celebrate Rose Monday in the midst of carnival season with drinking, dancing in the streets, and parades. (They call it Rosenmontag, which translates to "running Monday").

This year's Rosenmontag fell on 4 February and they celebrated in fine style in Düsseldorf, with a nice paper-maché float as a tribute to US politics:

If someone in America tried to create a float that mocked another country's election and candidates in such a manner, they wouldn't be allowed to put it on the streets. Makes you wonder just how free we are, eh?

Another Carter?

Received via email from non-blogging Advised by Wolves (click on image for full size, printable JPEG):

Will McCain be less damaging than the naive, inexperienced, hug-a-terrorist, Carter clone? Sadly, yes.
