For my final report on the fifth annual Right Online 2012 sponsored by Americans for Prosperity we’ll be talking about the parade of great speakers like NRO writer Jonah Goldberg and environmental apostate (as far as the left is concerned) Ann McElhinney.

You see, this hotel is the only union free hotel on the strip.

But not only is The Venetian union free, it also has the highest paid staff getting the best benefits in Vegas. This is because conservatives know how to treat their employees!

We got to hear once again from Michelle Malkin who impressed upon us how important Twitter has become to pushing the narrative these days. Malkin also talked a bit about our dearly departed Andrew Breitbart.
