Note to Democrats: it's not too late to draft someone?anyone?else!
" With the air gushing out of John Kerry's balloon, it may be only a matter of time until political insiders in Washington face the dread reality that the junior senator from Massachusetts doesn't have what it takes to win and has got to go. As arrogant and out of it as the Democratic political establishment is, even these pols know the party's got to have someone to run against George Bush. They can't exactly expect the president to self-destruct into thin air." [Bastard Sword]

Tracking Blogs
"Do you catch the massive flaw in this moron's argument? Blogs are not private. While there is no expectation of illegal activity on blogs, those of us who write and publish them also do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy. This is a public website, and anyone who wants to log in, from the CIA to al Qaeda, is welcome to do so and read whatever they like. A blog is like an instantly-published magazine. Would James Love object to the CIA reading Time Magazine? Probably not. But tracking public websites? Ooooh, fascism!
Nader, just like all his followers, is an idiot." [Right-Thinking from the Left Coast]

We can always hope for some excitment at the Donk's convention but I'm not holding my breath. We will find out if the Clinton's really are in charge.
The Old Switcharoo
"They will either have to find a way to demonize John Kerry, or they will have to find an "honorable" way for him to withdraw while saving face. If they choose to demonize they will want to take into account how they, the Democratic Party, look while making the switch. They'll want to look like they got duped by a conniving John Kerry. As if they were taken in hook, line and sinker - just like the rest of America (even though the reason they would need to use the Torricelli Defense is because the rest of America was not taken in). Moral indignance will be the emotion of the day. This is relatively safe ground for Democrats, victims that they are. It’ll start like this, “I/we can’t believe he didn’t tell us… (fill in the blank).”

Two fresh coats of paint for your memories
As time passes, our memories begin to fade. With each new day our recollections begin to mist over and changes in what we recall start seeping in. Every now and then we must remind ourselves of what REALLY HAPPENED. [Who Tends the Fires]

If you think these guys are cute and cuddlely and have a right to live - fine - I'm with you. If however you are fool enough to go into their territory without protection or the will to use it,then I believe this little kitty has the right to have you for lunch.
Absolutely Right
"California game wardens now visit elementary schools, advising children to stand still, wave their arms and shout when they encounter one of these deadly predators.
It's good advice as far as it goes -- the animal is far more likely to take a small human for prey if it tries to run away. But shouldn't the kids yell something else, first? Something like, "Daddy, shoot the cat"? [Kim du Toit]

Whole Lotta Hot Air
"Earth Day came and went last week, and despite the most dire predictions of the Green Lobby, the overwhelming majority of Americans are still breathing. To hear many of the environmental activists over the last week, this is no thanks to the Bush administration, which evidently has gutted eco-friendly funding".

John Stossel on the Media
"I don’t win Emmys anymore. It just stopped. And the reason is that I wised up. I realized that the real bad guys were not business. Yes, there are scams like Enron. In a $10 trillion economy, you are going to have some Enrons. But it was the markets, not the government, that figured Enron out, and Enron’s management is not laughing all the way to the bank. Compare that to government scams. When the government messes up, they go to Congress and say: “Sorry, it didn’t work. We need more money.” And Congress gives it to them." [The Interocitor]

Explaining Liberal Anger
"Why are liberals such as Paul Krugman, Michael Moore, and Howard Dean so angry and aggressive? I like to think that I have insight into this matter, since I was a liberal for a long time. If you haven't been a liberal, you may be puzzled by what you hear and read from them. They may seem -- dare I say it? -- insane, or at least discombobulated." [techcentralstation.com]

Allah's new toys are almost ready. He is gracious enough to provide us with lots of technical info on blast damage so we can properly prepare. The Russians were certainly not as helpful. I think a good time to move out of New York and D.C. would be yesterday.
Not even the Jew's taunting can spoil Allah's day today. With Mossad's access cut off, the final solution to the American question is now close at hand: Already writhing with tension and terror, the Middle East is sliding toward a... [Allah Is In The House]

The gist of the report is that we have been improving environmentally for the past thirty years. I'm not surprised and I doubt you'll be hearing about this report in the mainstream press because it is overwhelmingly positive." [Insults Unpunished]
