This week we take time out to answer the age-old question that has confounded politicians for generations -- Which is worse: driving with your dog in a custom-shielded car carrier on the roof of your car 30 years ago or eating dog meat in Africa 40 years ago?
Yes, instead of focusing on the economy or the deficit or the common defense or social issues or unemployment, both the Obama and Romney campaigns spent the last week in a silly Twitter / Media war trying to argue exactly that question. *
Young Barry Obama ate dog meat while living in Kenya.

WINNERS:
Mitt Romney
It isn't officially official, but it's getting pretty close. Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee in the fall. Now, if someone would just get the memo to Rick Santorum we could close the book on an especially ugly primary and move on to the main event.
Pope Benedict XVI
Easter Sunday provides a nice window of relevance for the Pope each year. Pope Benedict XVI took full advantage of the attention by making

And Now…a Special Comment
by Eric M. Blake April 9th, 2012 | Conservative Considerations, General Politics, Political Humor
Amidst the persecution Conservatives so often suffer at the hands of the media, it is all too rare for a prominent Leftist media figure to suffer the fate their side would so eagerly wish to bestow upon us. The likes of Al Sharpton, Bill Maher, etc.—they self-righteously get away with things no Conservative would. If you doubt me, observe the Duke Lacrosse incident involving the former — and, of course, the general rampant sexism of the latter.
Thus, I admit it is difficult not to feel a certain satisfaction when such people get theirs, at long last. Herein, I shall

‘Tis The Season…?

Merry Christmas!
There—I said it. Sue me.
Okay…in all seriousness, it happens every December: one of the most pathetic and sorry examples of Political Correctness out there. I’m referring, of course, to the effort to suppress Christmas in the public square—to the point of not even saying “the C word”.
When I was younger, we were worried about “X-mas”. Now…“X-mas” is technically much ado about nothing. Its roots are pretty interesting: see, as it turns out, the “X” isn’t really an “X”. It’s actually a Greek “chi”…which was often used by ancient Christians as shorthand for “Christ”. (“Chi” is the Greek for

Alliterative Winners and Losers

Alliteration. Sometimes it just happens. Go with it.
The Winners Who Wowed us and the Losers who Left us Lacking this week:
Winners:
Mitt’s Mighty Message
Mitt Romney was the front runner for the Republican Presidential nomination for a while in 2008, but eventually his Washington-outsider credentials failed him. Romney’s 2012 campaign has been low-key until now, quietly getting the job done. But he stepped back into the spotlight in Thursday’s Republican Presidential Debate. Romney gave the performance of the night and came across as presidential (as opposed to,
