(Applause.) His safety has been our principal concern, and I know this came as a welcome relief to his family and his crew. I had a chance to talk to his wife yesterday and, as she put it, she couldn't imagine a ...
Caleb and I will be appearing on The Ed Morrissey Show at 3 pm, where I will engage two of the right's finest minds in mortal verbal kombat!! Mortal Kombat? Did you cold start this story with a controlled matter-antimatter implosion causing a time warp? Why not throw a Pac-Man joke at us? Way to show how "cool" you are with a Star Trek reference so arcane, even Gabriel Koerner would call you a dork.From Hot Air: In the second half, we cross the aisle and go back again with Tommy Christopher and Caleb Howe, the liberal-conservative tag team from AOL's Political Machine. We'll talk about whether ...
Over the course of the past year, I've had the privilege of making a rather unexpected friend, Captain Ed Morrissey from Hot Air. Ed is one of the most, if not the most, recognizable names in the conservative blogosphere. We agree on almost nothing, but we respect the way each of us goes about it. Ed joins Redstate mainstay and Political Machiner Caleb Howe as people from the right who know how to be strong, skillful advocates, while avoiding the personal rancor that often taints our national debate.While our motives are mostly pure, I know that for me, I've gleaned valuable intel on how the ...

One of the real unexpected pleasures of this trip has been getting to know conservative blogger Caleb Howe, who is known affectionately among hardcore Tommybots as "Caleb Effing Howe."Just last night, we had a great talk about healthcare, and it was typical of many such talks that we've had this week. Without all of the demagoguery and name-calling, we actually manage to find common ground and learn a little more about each other's position.I've also learned several surprising facts about Caleb, such as his affinity for hip-hop music "that a little girl would like," as he puts it.But nothing ...
In today's edition of Face Off, two of our writers take a look back at Barack Obama's recent overseas trip. Did it benefit the Illinois Senator, or give his rival fresh ammunition? Have a gander at each take, and let us know which one is closer to what you have come to conclude. Thanks for playing.
