I have written about the legal battle going on over RealDVD before (see here and here). For those of you who don’t follow the issue RealNetworks developed software that would allow consumers to legitimately save a copy of DVDs they own to their computer’s hard drive for back up in case of loss or to [...]
I had the privileged of speaking with Congressman Mike Pence this morning. As I told him on the phone, I was excited to talk to a staunch conservative from Central Indiana having gone to high school and college there myself. He was just as eloquent an advocate for conservative ideas and principles as I expected [...]
I don’t have access to the actual polling questions, but get a load of this Dayton Daily News story: If given a choice between cutting services for the sick, hungry and abused or raising taxes on businesses and wealthy families, Ohioans are all for boosting taxes, according to a new survey released Wednesday March 25.

The Dayton Daily News had the Strickland story yesterday. And the truth of the matter is that Strickland’s handling of the economy was never [...]
So President Barack Obama was in my fair city today. No, I didn’t go hear him speak. I have a cold that causes me to cough like I smoke 10 packs of unfiltered menthol cigarettes a day. So instead, I figured I would do what all good bloggers do: criticize his remarks from the comfort [...]
Rich Lowry makes a great point here: I missed this Rod Dreher post from the other day, a defense of a more thoughtful conservatism that includes this gem: “Limbaughism sounds a lot like Leninism.” Why is it that the conservative bloggers who make so much of how they prize civility and modulation can’t help throwing [...]
Food for thought from Phillip Klein: So, the important thing is not whether or not Limbaugh himself can attract moderates to the party (he is not a candidate last I checked), but whether, at some point in the future, a party built on conservative principles can win a majority again. That’s the essence of Rush’s [...]
