18, Aug 2009

I had the opportunity over the weekend to attend the second annual RightOnline conference in Pittsburgh. Last year’s event in Austin, Tex., was such a big hit that the Americans for Prosperity Foundation decided to follow Netroots Nation to the Steel City.

The Washington Times has invited me to take part in a live online chat today at 1 p.m. Click here to join the discussion. I’ve been a big fan of John Solomon’s leadership of the newspaper and its new direction, so I’m particularly excited to take part in one of the website’s new offerings.

Leaving the Beltway can do wonders for you. Being in Texas the past couple of days for Americans for Prosperity’s Right Online conference was a refreshing experience. Some random thoughts about the trip:

The Polar Bear Protection Racket

4, May 2008

After a two-month break, my weekly Townhall column returns today with a piece about the polar bear. More specifically, I question why Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne might cave to left-wing environmentalists by listing the bear under the Endangered Species Act.
