What a week. Joe Biden gives a gaffe, which threatens to derail the schedule of the Obama campaign’s agenda. Yes, I know … what else is new? I mean, really — how on Earth has this guy kept his office for so long? With all the crazy blunder’s he’s made — even before the ’08 election — what the heck were they thinking?
You know, I get such a kick out of all the pundits — and fellow college students! — who swear with a straight face that Joe Biden is actually “very smart.” See … unlike Sarah Palin and

Plot Turns

Plot Turn #1:
One of the things you can always expect from the Left is an attempt to control the language of the discussion. Gay marriage? “Oh, it’s not a matter of behavior — it’s a matter of RIGHTS!” Abortion? “Oh, it’s not a matter of life — it’s a matter of women’s health!” Taxes? “Oh, it’s not about hurting or not hurting economic growth — it’s a matter of fairness!” Spending? “Oh, it’s not about the government wasting money doing things it’s not good at doing — it’s about helping people!”
You control the language, you control the discussion. That’s what

Before I kick off, I feel I must make a comment regarding the methods of a certain colleague. Look: going out of your way to emphasize (I swear) spelling errors in the argument of someone who’s challenging your argument (SIC! SIC! SIC!) … that seems to be a common tactic of internet message boards, which can be best translated as, “You’re an idiot, so I don’t have to even bother to take your argument seriously.” Of course, it has nothing to do with content. In a word, it’s “sic”. Really … can’t we discuss things like rational adults?

Sex, Lies, and Videotape

(Note: Don’t worry, folks—that’s a movie title.)
This past week has seen a fair share of scandals that demonstrate what happens when government gets too big. In addition, we’ve got some more news on the Zimmerman-Martin Incident. So ….
First—the sex: So a group of Secret Service agents are now in hot water, after the shocking revelation that, while preparing for a presidential visit to Colombia … said group got involved in prostitution. Apparently, the curtain was lifted — get this — when one of the agents refused to give his girl the payment she demanded.
Let’s recap: First, they let in

Come Together, Right Now…

Faithful readers of Camp Campaign are probably wondering how I feel. After all…out of the final four, Rick Santorum was my guy. And now, he’s out.
To be honest … I can’t say I feel that bad. I wish he’d done a lot better. Heck — I wish all that lynching of Herman Cain hadn’t happened, and that he’d ridden high, clinched the nomination, beaten the heck out of President Obama on his own turf — racial minorities — and brought some good old 9-9-9 to our nation’s economy. Alas … you can’t always get what you want.
Besides … all
