Rudy’s White Powder/White Power Problem
It’s been a bad couple of weeks for Rudy Giuliani’s campaign in South Carolina. Last week, his SC campaign chair, former state treasurer Thomas Ravenel, was forced to resign after being indicted for cocaine distribution (check out a copy of the the indictment here). Soon after, Giuliani’s camp installed Ravenal’s father, [...]

Lake of Fire
I can’t wait for the upcoming release of “Lake of Fire,” a controversial documentary about abortion. I actually requested a review copy from the film’s production company but was denied. My friend Fred Clarkson, who appears in the film and has seen it, posted on it at Talk2Action:

The people who run the Campaign for America’s Future just refused to show my video at their Take Back America lunch banquet. I will be explaining why they torpedoed my scheduled screening as soon as I find a site to host my video. That should happen very soon so stay tuned. (FYI: I have edited [...]

I haven’t had time to do any reporting on the Take Back America conference but I’ll have something up tomorrow evening hopefully. I’m busy editing the video I’ll show tomorrow at the conference (about the conference) right now. I’ll be posting that soon too.

I’ll be at the Campaign for America’s Future Taking Back America conference today. I’m showing my CPAC video at 2:30 on the “Failure of Conservatism” panel. And i’ll be shooting a short video about the conference which should be entertaining though I doubt it will make the impact my CPAC video made. I should have [...]
