As I've been following what the Democrats and their ilk have been up to recently, I'd like to offer the following campaign headline: Dems to Al Qaida: When We Win, You Win!!!Oh, did we hurt someone's feelings? Get over it or get used to it or stop pretending that "we support our troops so long as they're being used a social workers or wearing UN helmets" means anything.

Just to say hello...Did anyone really think the House Dems wouldn't get their agenda through? Was there anything the House Repubs could have done? Or even bother trying to do?Anyone besides me think Gerry Ford was a pretty 2nd rate president?How many lefties developed religion long enough to pray for something bad to happen to Michelle Malkin while she was in Iraq?So Obama admits he did cocaine

They're back..!You know how lefties never give up - they're still trying to prove that Anita Hill was the one telling the truth.Now Human Rights Watch is claiming that that story about Israel hitting two ambulances with missles last July is true.I will update this from time to time, but here is a start: they still claim that Israeli missiles hit the two ambulances, but they were smaller missiles

The Yahoo! main page has this interesting news item: Democrats will ask GOP for support on wage hike, tax cuts. Click on it and you get this news story. Okay, all fine and well, but why did they see the need to slip in this line?Speaking in the wake of GOP sex and corruption scandals that contributed to the Democratic sweep of both houses of Congress in the midterm elections, Reid emphasized his

Thought of the moment: how do we deal with personal scandals of politicians? Off hand, it seems that we can't: almost everyone can be accused of something so there's probably no hope of running only pure-as-snow candidates. On the other hand, bringing up various Dems' ethical or personal lapses seems to get no traction in the MSM (which many average people clearly still get much of their news and

I will forget about the fact that I said the Repubs would hold both Houses of Congress, and in proper prognosticator fashion, make some new predictions.First, I was watching ABC's Good Morning America today and I imagine the MSM is kicking off its campaign to bamboozle us into thinking we need to sign the Kyoto Treat and otherwise agree to accept a variety of Balls & Bhains on behalf of Global

Annanother thing (or as the high falutin' would say, And another thing) about the war on terror: every time the head of the Mafia gets sent to jail, someone else takes his place. And no matter how many gang members get arrested, some areas (like some big city housing projects) inevitably have a continuing problem with criminal gangs. So does anyone really think that catching or killing bin Laden

Another thought - did you notice that millions of Republicans and Conservatives were out in the streets today? You know, going to work..?Rumsfeld resigns - probably just as well they waited - if he'd resigned before the election, the Dems would have immediately bashed Bush for not firing him sooner, or calling it a pre-election stunt, or both.How odd, now Saddam is asking for mercy and Hamas is

Okay, so we lost. It happens and those of us who are not washpot heads do not make ourselves crazy about things that inevitably happen from time to time. I would guess it was a combination of too many Republican scandals making the news, too much irritation about Iraq, and a general feeling of "Let's throw the bums out / Let's give the other side a chance." I would like to believe this is the "

Do you really think Kerry killed his chances at another serious run in 2008 with his 'joke' about Bush and being stuck in Iraq? Or do you think the MSM will lend a hand to ensure that the 'joke' is eventually repeated enough times in a correctly worded form so no one will remember the original? I dunno, just wondering.And make it an even 222 in the house.

Now we know what Karl Rove's October surprise was - John Kerry.I am sticking to my guns, though - Kerry will take another serious run for president; the mensheviks are somewhat rallying to his defense. The Repubs keep 221 in the House of Reps and they keep 53 in the Senate. Okay maybe 220 and 52. I'd rather see larger numbers, though - the Dems like to act as if they won when they lose by just a

Oh, the Democrats cry, where are the good old days, when the Republican party was run by good natured losers like Bob Michel and Bob Dole, people who would fight tooth and nail to keep the Dems from raising taxes too much, and who would resist efforts to make the Republican party too extreme, and who were happy to settle for the bronze medal...And instead, Bush and Rove are out trying to win

Some predictions:1 - Republicans keep a majority in the House of Representatives, about 221 to 214.2 - Republicans keep a majority in the Senate, about 53 to 47, with Lieberman being actively wooed to switch parties or declare himself an independent.3 - Dems take control of the major offices in NY state (Gov, AG, and Treasurer) - more people in NY start looking at real estate prices and job ads

Just in passing about Clinton on the Fox Sunday morning interview: did he really think that no one would bother to fact check?And speaking of the 9-11 "I don't believe it but shouldn't we check out this [fill it the blank with an insane theory] idea," well, shouldn't we also have an investigation to see if maybe the Jews did stab Germany in the back? Or if Leopold & Loeb were framed by someone?

It appears that the polotical theme of the moment is becoming "The Republicans are in trouble as we approach the midterm Congressionsal elections."

I'm still pondering the matter of how liberals and lefties avoid admitting that they made a mistake.Follow me:1 - they don't admit that they make mistakes. No no no, not quite right (although maybe too close for comfort.)2 - they admit making mistakes in the sense of collective 'we', that is, we made a mistake by not promptly supporting, say, Castro, that's why he becames a communist.

Oh, and Goofy Willis seems to think that the race of the accused is important. I bet the 1960's Robert Byrd would have thought so. (It must have been Karl Rove who made George Wallace block the door to the college, don't you think..?)

Liberal Medical theory:The conservative gives you a pill - twenty minutes later the liberal hollers, "See? I told you it wouldn't work!"The liberal gives you a pill: "Take three a day for the next twenty years." And twenty years later: "Hmm, it's not working, we'll need to increase the dose."

I notice that some bloggers use Greek or Latin or Greek/Latin/Classical sounding names (eg, Atrios.) Anyone out there laid claim to the name Testicles (pronounce Tess-tick-lees)? If not,I claim it for myself. Moonbats beware. What was that classic fable, Testicles and the Lion? The fox said the gropes were probably sour? My dog has fleas but the sheep have fleece and the dishonest fleas fleeced

The other night I dreamed that I'd invented a candy made out of figs, but it turned out to only be a fig mint of my imagination.On the other hand, could anyone really imagine that Bush is being blamed for the damage caused by the hurricane? Well, yes, I guess so: he's been blamed for just about everything else...

She had to have a misterectumy.I liked Gov Bill Richardson's ideas for dealing with high petroleum prices and our dependence on foreign oil - all the things the Dems have been saying for for the past couple of decades.

Imagine if Cindy Sheehan had a son and her son was murdered by a convicted murderer who had been turned loose on a technicality. If she were to camp outside the house of the judge who released the murderer or the home of the president who put that judge on the bench, would the mainstream media give her this much attention? Would Michael Moore put down his tureen of fudge and fatback long enough

I see that Kerry and some others aren't satisfied with the resolution the Senate passed to apologize for not passing anti-lynching legislation. Maybe the Republicans should have filibustered it until the resolution also mentioned which party those who blocked all that legislation belonged to.

Today is the 61st anniversary of D-Day, when tens of thousands of Americans, Brits, and Canadians (I think) risked everything to help rid the world of a bloody lunatic and preserve the right of present-day idiots to compare George Bush to Hitler.

You know, if I were a Catholic and didn't like the rules, I'd join another church. (I happen to be Jewish and wouldn't belong to a reform temple because, even though I'm pretty apikoros, they're not traditional enough for my tastes.) Maybe the pope should try a reverse reformation - bring back the latin mass, have nuns look and live like nuns did fifty years ago, etc - couldn't hurt and might

According to Media Matters, "The Truth About Hillary is a partisan effort designed to "influence" voters." The Bastards! Imagine that: someone writing a book critical of Hillary Clinton!

He recites the Sh'ma Fishro'ael.Day five (or four, we don't need no stinkin counter) and the assault on Truth continues: nothing about Berger at Atrios, Willis and Kos, but this quote from Sen.

It's 12:30 pm in New York. A quick tour of the other side (Oliver, Atrio, Pandagon, & Kos) : somehow they managed to say nothing about Sandy Berger's plea bargain, the kind that a Republican could never get without the leftwing bloggers screaming bloody murder. Ollie is still obsessing about Tom Delay...Oh, Pat Buchanan getting doused with salad dressing? Who was it the other day who ominously

So, with the death of Terry Schiavo, the courts have given us our strike three. Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. No no no - they can tell us what kind of happiness we can and can't have (no, I don't smoke marijuana - never have - I think its being illegal just makes it easier to lock up at least a few people who ought to be locked up, but that's hardly a valid reason for it to be

Advice for those protesting in the hopes of saving Terri Schiavo's life: try marching up and down while hollering "No Justice, No Peace!" Apparently it's okay if you're, say, demanding that a cop be convicted of murder before the trial has even started, or you can't believe that the other side won that election...

According to Willis, "This is corruption - at the highest levels," referring to efforts of congressional Republicans to save Terry Schiavo.Maybe this is not an issue for Congress. But would Willis say the same if Congress & the President gave us a law that said that the tube in such a case could only be pulled if the person in question had earlier signed a living will that requested such actions?

It seems that the Wolfowitz nomination to head the World Bank may let us again begin to distinguish between liberals we can converse with (I'm quoting from memory, but Newsday, the liberal NY paper, this morning described Wolfowitz as someone who cares about democracy and human rights) from the lefties like Goofy Willis.
