What a Spectacular Night!
Last night Attila the Hub and I went to see
Mark Steyn speak at the
Claremont Institute's Churchill Dinner. He was there to receive the 2005 Henry Salvatori prize—and, of course, to entertain the Institute's supporters with his amazing wit and insight. In truth, his speech was inspiring
and sobering, and I'll have further details tonight or tomorrow. In the meantime I'd like to thank the Institute for inviting us. We shared a table with
Flap, PrestoPundit, Gay Patriot West, Matt Peterson, who
blogs for the Institute, John of
Write Enough, and Matt of
Flash Report, along with
Kevin and his charming wife.
I also got to meet John Hinderaker of PowerLine, who is a Fellow of the Institute. Naturally, he got swarmed somewhat when he showed up near the blogger's table, but I believe we were all polite about it.
Tammy Bruce was also in attendance, but she was also seated at one of the Fellows' tables. And there was at least one well-known actress there, but I'm not sure she's out as a conservative, so I'll leave her name out of this post.
Special thanks also must go out to The Bear Flag League (the glue that holds conservative Californians together) and to Justene, who does most of the heavy lifting therein.

I'm reading this on my sister's crap-ass dial-up computer with a small screen. Some of the right hand blog ads overlap onto the posts. fyi

One of the reasons I like coming to your site is that you give us stuff we can´t get anywhere else. And that is also the beauty of the blogs. Did you know Mark has also come out as a support for Condoleezza Rice to be a contender for president in 2008? I believe he wrote it in American Spectator just after the November 2004 election for President Bush´s second term. Likewise, the momentum is building for Condi and if you come to CPAC, you will see over 4,000 people thronging for information on how to be a better activist, and a stronger conservative-Republican. I hope you make it.

I'll be there if I possibly can--and if my readers send me some nice money!
Jeff--are you using IE? Sometimes that displays a little funky.
