the TOWN HALL weblog

And ad and a slogan.
A sky-rocketing homicide rate ,  a sewer of corruption  that stands as an inspiration to grafters and mob guys everywhere, a state government trying hard to follow suite,  deteriorating city services  and  a failing school system.
Are we missing anything?
Yes!
One of the most stressful cities in the entire [...]

On my mobile I subscribe to a third-party application from California called youmail.com to answer my calls when I can’t. They will send the voice-message of the caller and a transcription of the caller’s message to my e-mail. The transcription is always goofy I presume because the caller doesn’t speak clearly for the computer. My [...]

Instapundit had this quote on his site a couple of days ago:
UPDATE: Barry Dauphin thinks it’s psychological: “One thing I have noticed. No matter who McCain is up against (be it Republicans or Democrats), he has an uncanny ability to get under the skin of his opponents. Most of his opponents become virtually apoplectic at [...]

Like every conservative I speak of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy with tongue dripped in sarcasm.   Here are the Dems shaking in their boots over those nasty right wingers, while the nasty right wingers are bashing each other over the head over whether or not Edmund Burke was a “crunchy conservative” (he wasn’t.)   The reason [...]

Much of the substance of this election comes down to this question:
“do we want people with values like those held by the leadership of the American Library Association - in general - and Judith Flint and Amy Grasmick - in particular - to be in control of this country and guiding its [...]

Congratulations, Governor Sarah Palin. Thank you, Senator John McCain for uniting our party. Onward to victory.

The Democrats are attacking Gov. Palin for her lack of experience.  Really have these people no shame.   Our political novice will cut her teeth as Veep, their political novice will cut his teeth on the nuclear football.

Well before the climatic moments of the Democratic convention, it was clear that something vital was missing from the Republican campaign
…the nature and extent of Sen Obama’s left-wing agenda doesn’t seem to have penetrated into the awareness of the American public…They just don’t associate him, the “Progressive” movement and the Democratic party [...]

If you were watching NFL football pre-season game or NBC’s Beijing Olympic games last night, at 8:00 - 10:00 p.m. EDT or 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Left-Coast Time, you miss the kick-off debate between U.S. Senators B. Obama and J. McCain. Dr. Rick Warren who is the pastor at Saddleback Church hosted the forum. The [...]

Contrary to “pundit wisdom” and media hype, America is not really aching for a leftwards turn.

The Republican Party suffers from a pervasive and inexplicable failure to identify some key points of distinction between themselves and their Democratic opponents on issues that speak clearly and forcefully to the public consciousness - and [...]

A week ago The U.S. House went on vacation without voting again on any energy legislation. Several Republican members of that lower house of Congress stayed behind to protest their madam Speaker.

Many of these congressmen use the social media, twitter.com, to communicate with the citizens. After the closure of the lower House on August [...]

petehoekstra Message; Call Speaker Pelosi at 202 225 0100. Demand vote on energy legislation. Tweet your friends and call now. 5 minutes ago from TwitterBerry

Steve Dalton of Northwest Indiana sums up the today in the U.S. House:
It becomes obvious now why Pelosi wanted to force House members to stop using twitter, but the muzzle didn’t work 5 minutes ago

Republicans Representatives in their vain attempt to get a vote on drilling in the United States have caused Speaker @nancypelosi to adjourn the U.S. House for its lengthy Summer vacations. The Republicans refused to go home.
HouseFloor Politico: Democrats turned off lights, killed the microphones; Republicans are still on the floor talking [...]

I knew that Sen. and Mrs. McCain had adopted a baby girl from one of Mother Teresa’s orphanages.  But I have never actually seen a picture of Bridget McCain until today over at Gateway Pundit http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/07/obama-talks-about-lifting-child-in.html
I can see why the MSM keeps all pictures of Bridget under raps.  It can’t do their Obamamania any good [...]
