- It amazes me, the amount of grave dancing going on with Jesse Helms. I won’t even bother linking it, but I note LGF already has. You’d think the left would recall that the Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter are waiting in the wings. I’ll wait for them to complain about my comments on both those days. Oh, and speaking of Helms… Hey Ramesh; Look, man… if this were the Democrats and we were talking about Byrd, the Dems would say that the fact that he is a former segregationist is exatcly the point.
- There’s all kinds of directions my former radio morning man persona could take this. Space, the final frontier, and all that…. but can you imagine the kind of publicity surrounding being the first?
- For those of you who think it best that we treat terrorism as a criminal offense, a little shock. The records show we’ve been doing that. And, it wasn’t working.
- James at OTB notes attempts to put together a “Union of the Mediterranean” There’s no way this will end up being anything but a centraization of government, again. It interests me that the people who have been arguing against the buyout fever in private industry of late, (Such as the anti-Starbucks crowd) which results on massive companies which tend to be less responsive to and less respectful of individuals, tend to hold their silence when governments play the same game, as in the EU, or in this case.
- CNN is reporting that Obama’s losing support… among Democrats. Pretty much the situation I’ve been writing about all along. At least some of it is from the lurching to the right he’s been doing, as Doctor Krauthammer notes. Odd how suddenly the Democrats are seeing value in principle.
- Well, perhaps that’s not overly fair to Obama. After all, his role as “community organizer and activist” certainly showed us he does have some principle. Of course the effects of the application of those principles aren’t all that great. And let’s not forget those who share Obama’s principles.
- I’m telling you, gang, we’re headed toward another 1968, complete with a Republican landslide.
- Speaking of which, your biggest problem, Billy is that those who vote do in fact get represented. And why is that? They really do think that way. And here again, when we ask why that is, we arrive at the “changing minds” part. As I’ve written so often before, that’s the hard part. the easy way out is to abdicate the whole thing. The harder, but far more productive path in the long view, is changing minds. It takes a long time. But it is the path.
- All of the Democrat protests about how Republicans were “only there for the oil” are being laid bare, and they started demanding we in the US micromanage Iraqi oil processes. It strikes me that what annoys them so is that private industry is making the lion’s share of the decisions, instead of government at some level. Given the front-line activities of Schumer and Waxman, here, that’s a surefire bet anyway. Such a move away from government, in my view guarantees success. But, at what point does the MS start calling them out on their lies?
- Meanwhile, McQ points out an article in the Guradian which makes note that nobody’s mentioned the poil in the artic. Funny, how that’s not come up before.
- Obama; Going boldly where everyone else has gone before. What in the world of substance is Obama going to offer the world in a speech at Brandenburg? I mean…tell me again how this guy’s all about substance, and not frothy showbusiness ploys.
- Joyner notes the USSC made an error in the chiild rape ruling of a few weeks ago. And James is correct I think that this was a pre-cast ruling, looking for a rationale to paint over it.
- The fires out in California continue to burn.They’re starting to complain about funding for the firefighters. Well, gee; maybe a little less social spending? Those fires are putting more carbon in the air than all the cars in LA. Yet they’ll spend more on maintaining their stranglehold on oil, out there. Wwlcome to California.
- Meanwhile, the smong levels in the worker’s paradise of China is at around five times the safe limit.
- And then, there’s the plague of locusts to be concerned about.
- Oh… yes, Mike, I’ve already been saying they were smuggled out of the country.
