Bland Impromptus - Elections, Primaries….
In honor of one of my favorite (can there only be one? not the case anymore) reads, Impromptu’s by Jay Nordlinger at NRO - I’ll make a stab…
Katherine Jean Lopez at the corner at NRO wrote of Bill Clinton’s game face regarding Hillary Clinton’s success rate to date….interesting, but one thing stuck out creating a […]
With High Confidence; Intel We Can Finally Believe
Caution is the word of the day, especially when it comes to standing confidently on either side of the NIE report, excepting the president of course. This at least is the slant of opinions at The NY Times; good news is bad news, and bad is good. Why is it that the same […]
On Democrats, Surveillance and Being Flaccid
We are often bothered by politicians “flip-flops,” think Kerry. Then we have those that are likely not flip flops, but the necessity in the necessary revealing the opposite of your public positions or pronouncements (denouncement is fitting as well.).
At the first column, top position sets “Democrats Seem Ready to Extend Wiretap Powers,” with the summary […]
Family Fun, Cotton Candy and Death to Israel
Time to pack the family up and get ready for the fun and frivolity of International Qods Day (IQD) celebrations slated for October 5, 2007.
What is IQD?:
“International Qods Day reminds the world of the decades of Israeli oppression against an innocent and defenseless nation. The late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, designated […]
Democrats: An End to the War; Short, Bittersweet and the Crux
President Bush spoke for the eighth time on the subject of Iraq this evening; the consensus to most talking heads was it is not much in the neighborhood of new material. A reason for this lack in new material can be attributed to the opposition’s repetition of the past four years; the president is still […]
The Fruits of Four Years of Investigation and Negotiation: Iran and the IAEA
According to the 27 nation European Union regarding the latest IAEA negotiated deal with Iran over its “peaceful nukes:”
“Iran’s nuclear transparency deal with U.N. inspectors could be a recipe for delay and the lack of provision for suspending Tehran’s uranium enrichment is unacceptable”
This upset negotiator extraordinaire, IAEA Director Mohamed ElBaradei motivating […]
Petraeus Betray Us, Feinstein Lyin’: Iraq and the Greater War on Terror
From Blandly Urbane at DeMediacratic Nation:
From the Editors at National Review Online comes this closer, which says it all:
“Sen. Dianne Feinstein yesterday dismissed General Petraeus as not an “independent evaluator” of the Iraq war. Everything we’ve heard this year indicates that Petraeus is in fact a cautious and factual evaluator of the surge, but […]
Arizona 9/11 Memorial; One Year Later - the Unmemorial
Cross posted from DeMediacratic Nation:
On September 11, 2006 I visited the Arizona 9/11 Memorial at its opening. Following the fanfare led by Governor Janet Napolitano at its unveiling I visited for a closer inspection to read the panels.
Unfortunately I had no camera in hand; I certainly did not expect to have the reaction that I […]
The Right Doesn’t Make Scandals Like the Old Hand Left
From DeMediacratic Nation:
It’s odd that someone in the public eye like a politician would risk their career and/or what they have accomplished for some fun. The recent media revelation of an Idaho senator’s attempt at participating in what is called “anonymous sex,” is just such a case.
Senator Craig is not the first, nor will he […]
Non-Sense of the Senate Resolution
From DeMediacratic Nation:
From the Left Coast via The New York Left Times OpEd page comes the “piece” “Occupation Hazard,” which discusses the future legality of the U.S. presence in Iraq.
The legality in question is “the Authority” – which (is) to say “the occupying powers under unified command” – as Iraq’s effective legal government,” as granted […]
Bush Finally Sees Iraq as being like Vietnam
From DeMediacratic Nation:
Of President Bush’s recent remarks on Iraq, his words in a speech to the VFW on Tuesday have sparked some interesting and revealing reactions. In an analogy to our departure from Vietnam the President said:
“Three decades later, there is a legitimate debate about how we got into the Vietnam War and how we […]
