C-SPAN Milking 2016 For All It’s Worth

2012 was by all accounts a grueling election year. Scott Walker’s recall election, a brutal Republican primary and hyper-active general election all played their part in election overload. Naturally, C-SPAN enjoyed higher ratings as a result, and they’ve decided to stack as many cars on the 2016 election train as possible. C-SPAN began their “Road to the White House” series over the weekend, nearly 18 months ahead of schedule. Featuring […]

#CPAC2013: Ann Coulter, Hilariously Snarky As Usual

Continuing her tradition of addressing CPAC with a humorous speech, Ann Coulter started off with her usual cocky attitude, emphasizing that she is the author of “nine massive New York Times bestsellers.” Never short on criticism for those on the left, Coulter rhetorically asked “The sequester has really ruined everything hasn’t it? Kids can’t go on White House tours, the Muslim Brotherhood lost out on 250 million dollars…no, wait, that’s […]
