Mexico–Failing State

Here’s a worthwhile piece from Powerline’s John Hindraker on the ongoing breakdown of social order south of the U.S. border. An excerpt: The situation in Mexico is a disaster, and one that directly threatens our national security. For reasons that I don’t understand, most Americans don’t seem to care, and the Obama administration reflects that […]

Absurdly Massive Vote Fraud in Houston Probably Just the Tip of the SIEU Iceberg

The Houston area’s Harris County is the second-most populous county in the nation. In the last election, some volunteers working at polling places started suspecting something fishy was going on. So they started digging. What they found may have blown the cover off endemic union-enabled vote fraud across the country. Catherine Englebrecht and friends started […]

Cut from the Palin Book – Part 2

Another deleted scene from the book, The Faith and Values of Sarah Palin: For most of us, our life memories begin with a small collection of hazy scenes from our fourth or fifth year of life. This is true for Sarah Palin, and thus her earliest memories are of Skagway. Most of those remembrances, in […]

Cut from the Palin Book – Part 1

As is often the case with books (and movies) a lot of stuff got cut in the final edit. The publisher had a specific word-count target in mind so after a frenzy of writing came the frenzy of cutting. I wrote probably 7,000 to 8.000 words that didn’t end up in the book. In order […]

Palin the Polarizing

Here is the next installment in a series of short videos in which Stephen Mansfield and I discuss The Faith and Values of Sarah Palin. Here, we examine what Stephen and I eventually came to call my “Grand Unified Theory of Palin Hatred”:

"Struggle": The Dead-Give-Away Word

In his youth, Chris Coons, the guy running for the Delaware Senate seat against the widely hated and mocked Christine O’Donnell once referred to himself as “a bearded Marxist.” He has since, for obvious reasons, tried to distance himself from that self-designation. It’s understandable. Heck, even Karl Marx famously denied being a Marxist. Today’s Marxists-at-heart […]

Double Rainbow Tuesday

Well I spent the day yesterday yammering on Facebook and Twitter and other Intertubes about the Sarah Palin book. My apologies to everyone in my social network who grew weary of hearing about it. But it was a pretty cool day around here. We’ve had a challenging and frequently disheartening year-and-a-half. It was great to […]

Launch Day

Today The Faith of Values of Sarah Palin officially launches. My co-author and friend, Stephen Mansfield, is in New York today doing some radio interviews and will be on Sean Hannity’s program tonight, as well as Fox & Friends tomorrow morning. Of course, the readers of this blog who truly love me and care about […]

Love, Duty, Honor and Remembrance

Awakened at 5:40 a.m. Wednesday by a phone call. My sister. A problem at Mom and Dad’s. “I’m on my way.” As I mentioned in the post below, Dad’s Alzheimer’s symptoms have gotten dramatically worse in the last month. I met Mom and my sister at a hospital in Henryetta, Oklahoma. He’ll spend a couple […]

Welcome to Rambling Update Theater . . .

I’m your host, Dave Sparseposter. Here at Holland House, we’re adjusting to the rhythms and requirements of autumn with two fewer offspring in the mix. Now, with a senior back at Baylor and a Freshman freshly launched at the University of Oklahoma, we’re left with only one still at home on whom to focus all […]
