I owe my fellow bloggers an apology…

I have been very lax in linking them at CPAC as the sheer volume of video I have that needs uploading and labeling and organizing has pretty much blown me away, that and lack of sleep.

It goes without saying that you need to be reading Stacy McCain and his work and his play, lots of play.

Barbara Espinosa has been all over this stuff and Midnight Blue has not only been a very friendly person to sit with.

Katy’s conservative corner does great work and is a fine friend and Nice deb deserves more credit than she gets.

and to the many others from Steve Eggleston to Hot air who I have not mentioned or linked, let me say that you are a collection of the finest people I know and I’m proud to be associated with you.

Can Midnight blue edit or what

this before and after shot shows the power of the editing tools of Lightroom and the skill of midnight blue

How good is Midnight Blue? This good!

Yes if she can take 20 years off of Stacy McCain imagine what she can do for you!

How can you not love Ann Coulter…

…when she can write stuff like this:

(6) Are gay rights part and parcel with basic conservatism? If so, why are so many elected Republicans so skittish/unsupportive about the subject? If not, tell me why.

No, we don’t generally care for identity politics of any sort, much less hearing about people’s sex lives, even Nino Scalia’s. (And judging by the number of children he has, it’s pretty active.) Conservatives believe in individual rights, low tax rates, fighting terrorism and punishing criminals — so do gays! They also happen to believe Judy Garland was the most underappreciated and misunderstood person in the history of show business. I don’t think most gays care about gay marriage; they like going to the gay marriage meeting because it’s a good way to meet other gays.

I wish I wrote that

Can someone explain to me why…

…people swarmed the Sarah Palin impersonator and the Rent is too damn high fellow here at CPAC?

When she walked in I was in the lobby and she was IMMEDIATELY swarmed by every person and camera in sight. Media camera hit her as well. What are these people thinking?

I know what I was thinking, poor Dana Milbank, even Palin impersonators generate memeorandum stories. Somebody pull him away from the bridge.

Another "celeb" and another swarm

Another fun thing to do is ask reporters if they want to be interviewed they generally decline which is very funny because as a rule they make their living asking people questions.

I understand that Stacy McCain was making conversation with Maureen Dowd while she was trying to get in and that Maureen Down was in full “who are you talking to be talking to me” mode. That doesn’t speak well of Miss Dowd.

Anyway that’s what’s running through my head right now.

Update: I forgot about the video:
