There’s a part of me that wants to believe this is just a coincidence, but with today’s conservative movement NOTHING surprises me. Here’s a look at the stage for this year’s CPAC conference, a gathering of the who’s who of the conservative movement:

First off, let me say that I wouldn’t give this award out to just anyone, or without due consideration. Over the years here at Blogging Blue I’ve been taken to task by readers, other contributors and commenters alike for my occasionally crude and insulting style of prose, like the time…

What happened when the folks at the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference held a panel on minority outreach? No one attended. Big problem for GOP. Most important #CPAC2014 panel.

CPAC: the "conservative" convention wrapped up today. Thank God! It turns out that this is a place wher a bunch of millionaires hang out and a few speakers show up and try and get noticed by outcrazying the speaker before them. Here are some highlights, I mean lowlights: First off,…

There was a study done that republicans have a larger fear center in their brain. A study at University College London in the UK has found that conservatives’ brains have larger amygdalas than the brains of liberals. Amygdalas are responsible for fear and other “primitive” emotions. At the same time,…

Watch and listen as Jed Babbin, the editor of Human Events, makes a funny at CPAC about Joe Stack, the man who flew his plane into an IRS office in Austin, Texas: I look forward to the right-wing outrage squad, who’d no doubt jump on this if it had been…
