Everyone’s aware that Sam Brownback is conservative, Catholic, anti-choice, and not planning on voting for health care reform.

I’m not a huge believer in the SurveyUSA polls, but our friends at PrimeBuzz referenced it this morning.

Last month we reported that Jerry Moran had used his membership [...]

Its so hard not to laugh when I hear the word/name Santorum.  Evidently I’m not alone.  Bless our friends over at The Pitch for reporting the gay love affair between Rick Santorum and Todd Tiahrt.  I’ve long thought it was an exclusive relationship between Sam Brownback and Santorum but evidently Rick was two-timing Sam.
“I expected [...]

Politico has a story today about the Kansas Congressman with real C Street “Fellowship” credibility, Jerry Moran. We’ve previously reported the indelible ties of Sam Brownback and Todd Tiahrt to the C Street “Fellowship” (here, here, and here). But, according to Politico, the Kansas Congressman that has really benefited from his close association [...]

Late yesterday, news broke that former KS-04 Congressman (‘76-’94) and Clinton USDA Secretary Dan Glickman was not renewing his lucrative contract with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). Glickman, whose contract expires in September 2010, said…
“I’m going to be 65 next month, and it just struck me this is a good time to really [...]
