I still have 30 videos to get up and rather than throwing them all up in one day I’m going to space them over the next week or two so don’t worry I’m going to get to everyone I shot.

I interrupted his dinner at a Washington Restaurant two nights ago to interview him on camera about the tea party.
Paul Johnson at George Washington
His site has video of his appearances in costume but the most important thing on his site is the parable of the closed steakhouse:
ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA A CHEF BUILT A FINE STEAKHOUSE. CUSTOMERS CAME FROM FAR AND NEAR FOR HIS SPECIAL NEW YORK STRIP WITH TWO SIDES FOR $12.95. ONE DAY A GOVERNMENT MAN CAME IN, FLASHED A BADGE, AND SAID, “THE NET COST OF THAT FOOD IN THAT PLATE IS ONLY $5.00 AND YOU CAN’T SELL IT FOR MORE THAN $6.25….
…the rest is on his site. His talk about ratios and expenses is business 101. Would that more people in the White House had his sense.
I’ve not met Christine O’Donnell personally…

…as the Stacy McCain gonzo blogcon side road trip fizzled out but people I like and trust have had things to say about her positive and negative, that’s cool, friends disagree all the time and remain friends but this “unelectable” nonsense needs to be refuted right now. To Wit:
Every person who is going on about her “unelectable” needs to read that quote and the story it came from.
I’d just as soon win with you, than without you.
Update: Michelle Malkin absolutely nails it:
Guess what? You can be a “TRUE CONSERVATIVE,” a blogger behind a keyboard, a talk show host behind a mic, a prime-time TV host in front of a camera, a Beltway pundit, or a heartland Tea Party activist and come to different, good-faith conclusions about this race. I know people in both the Castle camp and the O’Donnell camp. I’m not going to deride or disown my friends in the blogosphere or anywhere else because we disagree. That’s, well, unhinged.
Everyone get a grip. Take a deep breath. Fight your best fight. Make your best arguments. Wait for the votes to be counted. Then march on and move forward.
Bingo!
Christine O’Donnell proves a point or two

…that a person is only “unelectable” until they are not.
…that I’d rather have Sarah Palin on my side than Mitt Romney, she is willing to risk political capital to fight for you. This is what a leader does!
…and Angel Clark’s skill as a reporter/writer is only matched by her niceness as a person.
