I didn't expect conservatives at a conservative political get together to bash Bush, but that's what's happened in more than one venue. James Joyner of Outside the Beltway feels that in order to define the future, that the Republicans need to define the past. He ...

The CPAC pics didn't work out as well as I had hoped because I used a camcorder, instead of a camera, for pics. No lights + a dim basement that we were in ='s low quality pics at times. I also completely lost a pic ...
