‘Gas Strike’ Fueled by Emotion and Ignorance (Update)
March 10th, 2011 · 9 Comments
This morning, I came across a Facebook event, titled “GAS STRIKE,” that nearly a half-million people have signed up to “attend” today. Sadly, their effort — which involves boycotting gas stations for one day — is a misguided effort driven more by emotion and ignorance than common sense. Oil companies produce the oil and make [...]

After learning of the tragic shooting of U.S. Representative Gabrielle “Gabby” Gifford (D) of Arizona’s 8th Congressional District and more than a dozen others in Tucson, I decided to check out the congresswoman’s efforts to connect with her constituents via social networks prior to the shooting.

‘Stealing Tea’ Just the Beginning for Scott Rupp, RINO Incumbent in Missouri State Senate Race
July 23rd, 2010 · 1 Comment
In a post yesterday, I reported on Scott Rupp (sounds like “roop”), an incumbent seeking re-election to the Missouri State Senate. I went so far as to accuse the Republican in Name Only of falsely painting himself as a Tea Party activist (See “Stealing Tea” for details). Today, I share a list of Rupp’s under-reported [...]

By Paul R. Hollrah, Guest Blogger Just imagine for a moment that you are Barack Obama… I know it’s distasteful, but do it anyway… and assume that your number one goal, politically, is to make it possible for your party to win U.S. elections in perpetuity, with little or no chance of a strong challenge [...]
