Interesting article. I hope he’s right - that the response to Sara reflects a reconnection between the party and the people, and the ascendancy of western conservatism within the party.

Sarah Palin: it’s go west, towards the future of conservatism
Her thrilling convention speech showed that the Governor of Alaska is a force to reckoned with. But she might be more than that
Gerard Baker
The best line I heard about Sarah Palin during the frenzied orgy of chauvinist condescension and gutter-crawling journalistic intrusion that greeted her nomination for vice-president a week ago came from a correspondent who knows a thing or two about Alaska.
“What’s the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?”
“One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let’s be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.
“The other kills her own food.”
Now we know, thanks...

I’ve noticed I haven’t put much that’s positive on my blog and when this happened I thought it be fun to blog about. So anyway, it all started on Thanksgiving when my brother, my momma and I were all sitting around after dinner bored out of our minds. I finally had to do something and asked them if they wanted to see if the video store was open. My brother immediately said yes and my momma didn’t want to go.

When Republicans are a major cause of the economic crisis with through regulation-free markets and the long term costs of war, the Republicans cannot run on their record. Even on the state level, led by the veto-pen Republican governor, Republicans blocked interventions to fix foreclosure problems, starved education funding, and traded low cost transportation maintenance into high cost replacement. Even Republicans are realizing that tax reductions are no help when the economy is tanking becaus... more
“The Republican Bail-out Plan is like insurance for a dead man”

Â
I have found no information on-line on the specifics of the Republican alternative bail-out plan, what I was able to do was watch a press conference held by the Republican House Caucus a few minutes ago.

What they said in general was that they were going to offer a freemarket solution:

I wonder what they’ll discuss. In related news, Pelosi has responded : "We delivered on our end of the bargain...but the legislation has failed. The Republican caucus has not gotten the message. The crisis remains."
Update : Bushie says, "We put forth a plan that was big because we got a big problem...we’re going to attack this head on." ... more

Take a minute to read this well-written endorsement from the Economist :
[T]he Candidate McCain of the past six months has too often seemed the victim of political sorcery, his good features magically inverted, his bad ones exaggerated. The fiscal conservative who once tackled Mr Bush over his unaffordable tax cuts now proposes not just to keep the cuts, but to deepen them. The man who denounced the religious right as “agents of intolerance” now embraces theocratic culture warriors. The ... more

Light Bar question From: fullsizebronco.com Post Date: 2008-03-23 23:34:24
i found this light bar on craigslist. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/pts/615293859.html
$50 doesn’t seem half bad and the lady said the lights may work, there are wires but she never got around to installing it on her bronco cause it didn’t fit (see pics) i was thinking about chopping it in half and extending it out a little longer to make it fit the gutters and then would prob. paint it black if i picked this up.
anyone ever do this before? ... more
