Ken Blackwell NAILS IT with this “must read” column…

Ken Blackwell, the former Secretary of State of Ohio, is running for Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Reading this column he had published in Townhall today sure makes me bullish on him. In order for the GOP to regain its branding as a party of fiscal conservatism, we need a healthy dose of reality — which is that the GOP, under this President, has strayed far towards the left on fiscal issues…

Today’s Commentary: Guest Commentary: Jon Coupal of HJTA – “Pension Tsunami”

FR Elves Report In: FR Main Page To Return Monday, January 5

HAPPY 2009 TO OUR READERS!

Apparently FR’s main page will continue to be dormant until this coming Monday, January 5th.

The FR main page elves were up quite early this morning, scouring over 100 websites for California political news, which is the normal course of business when we’re up and running.

They have reported back that they found only a handful of links that they would put up on the site, so few as to make it not worth the effort.
