The Mike Huckabee campaign made its next to last stop this morning in Chattanooga, Tennessee, before returning to Little Rock for Super Tuesday. Mike Huckabee's speech--along with a brief contribution by Chuck Norris--can be found here, and is the special podcast today. It's a little over thirty minutes. The stage is set for the candidate's …

In the middle of this political year, let's take a break and look at something really important: high speed police car chases. How can we avoid them? One solution from South Florida is shown below. This of course is a Ford Pinto, used by Old Port Cove (near West Palm Beach, FL) as a patrol …
Mike Huckabee's website informs us of the following: The former governor and his wife, Janet, live in North Little Rock. North Little Rock's main mall is none other than the...McCain Mall!

This week's podcast is Every Step I Take from Brian McLaren's album Learning How To Love, which is available from Heavenly Grooves. Ken Scott, the Archivist for "Jesus Music," wondered who had ever heard of Brian McLaren. Well, many, as it turns out, for now he listed as one of Time Magazine's top 25 evangelical …
I'm sure that many conservatives--to say nothing of Lou Dobbs--will go postal over the idea that illegal immigrants would get tax rebates, as is proposed (unintentionally?) in the House package. In their bipartisan zeal to quickly cut a deal on an economic stimulus bill, GOP lawmakers overlooked something that will certainly inflame the conservative base--illegal immigrants could …
Greg Cruey was hoping for John Edwards to stick it out: If Edwards withdraws and the race becomes a two-candidate race, either Hillary or Obama will most definitely win.
