The Heritage Foundation took a small mountain of data and crunched it. The result is the election integrity scorecard. It is a map of US states and the District of Columbia; each scored based on twelve criteria.

Why Are Our Taxes Used To Support Left Wing Propaganda?
Frontline is a so-called documentary series that appears from time to time on Public Broadcasting System (“PBS”) stations around the country, the most visible of which seems to be WGBH in Boston.
Pine Tree Ramblings – Vol 9
I often find myself tweeting the hashtag #LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder And I really do mean it. I’ve seen Liberals tweet, post and blog and I’ve heard them speak. Many, many times, I ask myself, “is this person crazy, stupid or just malicious?” There is hardly an example in all of my interactions with Liberals where I haven’t … Read more
Fixing Obama Era EPA Overreach – The Waters of the US Rule
Daren Bakst, The Heritage Foundation’s research fellow in agricultural policy, joins me to discuss Obama Era EPA overreach and the Water of the US Rule. Where we are (everything from a lake to a puddle can be regulated). What Congress can or should do. And what if anything you can do to help.

Dispatch from Future of Journalism Summit / NetRoots Nation foray – Obligatory rag-tag Occupy Providence post.
OK, OK, I know – from the postings thus far, it may seem that I went down for one event but spent my time over at the other: NetRoots Nation. Non, mon freres! Frankly, given the drubbing that the Democrats, theLeft, the Unions, and the rest of the associated fellow travelers, that yearly collection of collectivists was a dim bulb affair. Not so much that I am CALLING them dim bulbs (heh!) but that the overall “vibe” of the place (Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, RI) was not exactly joyous and effervescent. Sure, smiles could be seen (like when friends see friends after a space of time). But dismal is a good word. Downer is a better word.
Denial, in what happened and WHY, is probably the best descriptor of the overall mood (where as, Delight could be used for the attendees of the Franklin Center / Heritage Foundation event – but more on that actual set of activities later).
Back to adjectives: Dense. Yeah, outside the RI Convention Center, across the street, was the most dejected bunch of dingleberries I’d seen in a long time; how the Occupy Wall Street movement has fallen. Frankly, there is little difference from these folks and the typical Skid Row inhabitants. And in their rally, it showed.
We had just finished with another activity (heh! In a later post!) when all of a sudden, we heard a lot of yelling, so the group of us quickly went to the front atrium. Problem: by the time that we arrived, security had already removed them. However, one of Jim Hoft’s (The Gateway Pundit) folks caught the “mic check” session of the OWS folks pleading with the rest of the NetRoots to come and join them in a march (“hey, we’re the 99% – and so are you! You are us, and us is you” supplication):
Well, by that time, I got there, spun up the camera, and taped for a while (after the jump). Two observations:
- OWS has turned out to be nothing than the “storm troopers of the moment” for the Left. Like Cindy Sheehan who protested President Bush, especially at his ranch in Texas), once their purpose was done, so was the Left with them. Sadly, it seems like the OWS folks haven’t figured out that they’ve become mostly tools that have been left by the side of the sidewalk as the only folks that heeded the call of OWS Providence were folks like me with a camera. I should have gone and spent my time elsewhere.
- The last scene’s commentary seems appropriate for the entire movement.
Dispatch from Future of Journalism Summit / NetRoots Nation foray – Van Jones Book Signing Part 1
Heh! My role for this merry group of political adventurists was to be “the secondary tracker” (yeah, a meta-meta moment) for our group. Dana Loesch of Brietbart is an outgoing spitfire as a blogger and a talk radio host and Jim Hoft of GatewayPundit are nationally known bloggers (and Jim being a big 6’4″ blonde … Read more

Heritage Action Score Card – New Hampshire
The Heritage Foundation, a cool place Conservatives love, has a legislative scorecard that they update regularly. So I figured I’d scoot over and take a look. I admit I was disappointing by the results. NH NH Sen. Kelly Ayotte R 80% NH 1 Rep. Frank Guinta R 73% NH 2 Rep. Charles Bass R … Read more
