Actually, it wasn’t all that bad in the end. I did my first ever radio interview today pumping the KGB show this weekend, and I think it went reasonably well all things considered. I want to give a quick shout out to Scott James at My96 for gi…

I stumbled across an interesting article this morning over at the War Room at Salon, that highlights the differences between the left wing and right wing elements in the US right now as far as rhetoric is concerned. Tim Grieve found a clip from a recent Ted Nugent show that is very interesting …
