Meet the Crew
Circa Christmas 2009
Me I’m what happens when Conservative Punditry meets Mommy Blogging. I’m a southern California stay-at-home-mom with an addiction to Coke Zero, an aversion to diapers, a strong opinion, and a smart mouth. You can read more about me here, if you’re so inclined.
Leif My Viking husband is my best friend, the love of my life, and my partner in crime. My life would suck without him (name that really dumb Kelly Clarkson song!). He’s a software engineer, and hasn’t owned a suit since the age of 6.
Thing 1 Our firstborn daughter is now seven and in third grade. Her hobbies include dancing, cooking, refusing to eat the things she helped cook, studying ancient Greece and Rome, and bossing around her little sister.
Thing 2 Our younger daughter is three going on fifteen. She’s a diva to the max, and always right. She’s starting preschool this fall, and after her first day she happily told me, “My pee-skoo’ is AWESOME!” Her aspiration in life is to be just like her big sister.

Hi There
By the looks of it your are in my district – would you ever want to chat. We have bounced back and forth via twitter. AS you can tell I am running against Susan. DO you want a conduit to channel this angst. I have a lot of volunteers doing fun stuff to burn their frustration, but first you would have to make sure you like where I stand if this is appealing to you. You write a lot of fun articles. I have great support from the local party, the state all the way up Michael Steele’s office – so this is for real!!
Think about it and drop me a line.

Hello. Here is an interesting item for your blog (http://pitch.pe/38346) and the author, Daniel Putkowski, would be an excellent call-in guest for The Smart Girl Report. He recently did interviews with Lars Larson and sayanythingblog.com – THANKS!

Hi,
George W. Bush had his slew of off-color statements that Liberals took feverish delight in tearing apart. Well, Barack Obama has had his fair share of ridiculous statements that give the other side plenty of ammunition to fire right on back, and here they are, from his Special Olympics joke to saying Nancy Reagan does seances.
The 8 Most Offensive Barack Obama Moments

These are either absolutely hilarious or just outright shocking, so I thought I’d send the list along. Please feel free to write a quick article about it or even just post a link if you enjoy it. Either way, enjoy the laughs, the disappointment and pay it forward.

Hello Jenny,
April 24, 2010, 8:54 pmYou go girl!!!
I see that you think guns are super cool. Well you know we own a gun range in Texas. We are very active in supporting the NRA, teaching children, and adults about gun safety, self awareness, and we offer concealed handgun classes. Yes, in Texas you can get a license to carry a gun. We hope, some day, to move back to our most favorite city of San Diego, but you know the strict gun laws imposed there. What do you think can be done to change this restriction of the citizens rights to conceal carry, and to purchase ammunition and reloading supplies without limitation? Did you know that a law has been passed in CA, that will limit a person to purchase only 50 rounds of ammunition a month? It’s ridiculous!
Maybe this topic can come up for discussion sometime in your future adgenda.
Hats off to you my friend.

I enjoyed browsing your site. You have a good head on your shoulders and are capable of original thought! I am glad you are on our side (I am a libertarian/conservative)

As a 50 year old 100% disabled veteran – reading your site gives me some hope for our future! Wow – a real red blooded 100% American woman who is not ashamed of being a woman and can think – plus you have a great sense of humor and personality (and no that isn’t some archaic code to say you are ugly!) You strike me as a feminist in the model of Susan B Anthony: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_B._Anthony). By the way – regardless of what the Wikipedia says – Susan B Anthony was pro-life.

She also voted straight Republican. Not that her vote counted at the time… But mine does now, thanks to her!
PS- You’re voting for Rubio, right?

Hmm…The current crop of candidates for the governorship of Florida are superbly mediocre and outstandingly average.

I enjoy your tweets, and just found your blog. To quote an ancient Martha White Flour ad slogan from these parts, goodness gracious, they’re good! (And Coke Zero rocks.)

Just found you thanks to Hawkins and Right Wing, I cannot share your adoration for Coke Zero though but we run straight on everything else. Keep up the fight.

You’re a hypocrite. You say you don’t want to live in a “nanny state” but then your arrogant enough to assume that your morals should dictate whether or not another woman has an abortion. So lets get this straight: It’s not ok for the government to choose which car Jenny Erickson should drive, but it’s ok for Jenny Erickson to choose wheter another woman should give birth. Roe v. Wade happened. Get over it.

I really cant believe u as a republican, do not you respect Teddy Roosevelt the american originator of environmental Conservationism with your blatant distaste for somethings that helps keep environment full and lush…and I do know the “love” of an suv raised near the Rockies, and living in the backwoods of Florida, yes the joy these toys provide is great to the “small” amount of my money that ends up in the hands of a middle eastern royal oil family. Not that it matters, I run and am running in the marine corp marathon on Halloween. I like steak rare, and good beer. but I know too much will increase my chances for colon cancer or liver damage, but I dont need to slap a hippy in the face with a lamb-chop, and it seems like that is acceptable attitude to have, as conservatives in the media are, I know far more conservatives that own “organic” small business (think some pot head can put together a business that has shelve space at my local publix). I was born and raised conservative and I hear only “kick ass” phrases in “conservative” journalism and im not sure what to admire about their perspectives.

Sarah Palin is a “crusader against government oppression”?
I burst out laughing at that part.
Thanks for the laugh.

The best home security is a concealed handgun. GunTuck.com has developed and tested a new concealed carry t-shirt that is breathable and won’t sag. We invite you to visit our site and check out our first offering for concealed handgun carry.
