STILL ON SABBATICALNot sure that there's anything worth writing about.The Alito hearings are a bit boring. Looks like the Dems realize that he is pretty bulletproof. Funny. Kennedy talked for probably 85-90% of the time he was supposed to be asking Alito questions. Tells you something, doesn't it??

AND WHY WAS IT YOU DIDN'T LIKE HIM??I've already seen and heard three or four Democratic Senators foam at the mouth over Judge Alito, claiming he is part of the religious right wing conspiracy to overturn Roe v. Wade and help implement every other agenda item that the BushHitlers can't get through Congress.But wait a minute, has anyone actually researched Alito's decisions on the litmus test of

GOOD GRIEF! You must read this article about Zimbabwe. It seems that the country, all but bankrupt, is now admitting that maybe it wasn't a great idea to seize all farms owned by its white citizens and give them to it's black citizens.Racism is racism and to employ it as a political or economic strategy will never, ever succeed.

OUCH, THAT HURTSThe truth always hurts for those who hide from it. The US auto industry is the best business example I can think of that has been afflicted with group denial. This article sums it up rather well.I have known people who've worked on auto assembly lines and I've never known a single one who was underpaid. In fact, every one of them used to joke about how little they actually worked

WORTH ARGUING ABOUTAlito is worth serious debate. He has the kind of judicial record and credentials that a Supreme Court nominee should have.I'm still baffled why Bush nominated Miers when people like Alito could have been nominated instead of her.

WHY 2K?There have been more than 2,000 military deaths in Iraq . . . so far.Is that newsworthy?No.If ensuring a democratic Iraq and (potentially) a much safer mid east costs 20,000 US lives today (rather than 200,000 "tomorrow"), it still makes sense.It may sound carelessly cruel and unsympathetic to the personal tragedy of 2,000 lost lives, but it has been worth the price, but only if we stay

DON'T WORRY -- BE HAPPYI agree 100% with the author of this report.99.9999% of us are safer today than we have been at any other time in recent history.However, when 80% of the news is focused on the three places in the World that are truly unsafe, it certainly affects your outlook.

ANOTHER HONDA IN THE GARAGEFurther to my deliberation about what vehicle to buy . . .It's a Honda Accord Hybrid.They are over-priced (as are all hybrids), but if you can buy one for $1,000 under dealer invoice (as I did), go for it.Further, when I did the math, I concluded the Accord would save me $1,000 a year (and 253 gallons of fuel conserved) compared to my Mercedes wagon*.

THE BLAME GAME, PART 3Weary. That's how I feel about Hurricane Katrina, and I'm more than 1,000 miles away from New Orleans. God knows how anyone within the strike zone feels.My weariness is over the hand-wringing and nonsense being spouted by those who are even further away from New Orleans than I. Those who are saying the calamity was driven by racial motives deserve to burn in Hell.I've been

THE BLAME GAME, PART 2I had heard or read that no more than a year ago the New Orleans area had simulated a hurricane disaster. I think the Mayor even mentioned it in one of his press conferences a couple of days before Katrina hit.So, if the plan for such a disaster called for the forced evacuation of the city's poorest by school bus, why didn't they do it?It will be interesting to see if the

There, I said it.Two days before Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Mississippi I told a friend of mine that anyone who didn't live 50 feet above sea level in a concrete block house should get the hell out of Dodge. As huge and powerful and fast-moving as it was, moving across relatively shallow water, Katrina was a giant "waterplow" pushing a

WRONG FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS40 years ago, when Daniel Patrick Moynahan was Assistant Secretary of Labor in the Johnson administration, his department wrote a prophetic study called “The Negro Family: The Case for National Action.” It said, that there was a strong correlation among the following factors -- single-parent household, poverty, race. In effect, it said that America's inner cities,

IT'S NOT THE WAR, STUPIDIf the Democrats want to seal their fate in 2008, they'd better get off the anti-war track and get real with respect to the issue that will continue to sink their boat.They should have learned last year that the core "red" state voters do think the war is an important issue, but there is a catch phrase that encompasses the real issue -- moral values.As Patrick Hynes writes

DON'T SAY IT CAN'T HAPPEN HEREI heard someone on TV last night, talking about the UK's home-grown terrorists. He said we are much more safe here because we have stronger intelligence gathering capability than the Brits, who appear to have little intelligence on what's happening in their mosques.Or really?Then how would you explain the so-called "Columbine killings?" Two disaffected, teenage

THE HORRORS OF GITMOReading this may make you sick . . . from laughing.It appears that the "torture" that was most prevalent at Gitmo is a level of torture still allowed on college campuses today. It's a ritual called "pledging" (perhaps you've heard of it?).But then I guess most liberals weren't in fraternities -- too "establishment" for them.

BLOG-CATION WARNINGThere will be little blogging between this afternoon and the end of the first week in August. Yes, it's time for that summer ritual called the family vacation -- first to Canada for ten days, then back home for a re-supply and then to Kentucky for ten days.

Increased current sales at the expense of future sales, and3.

When commanded by the US Supreme Court, at least one reporter believes she's above the law and then has the temerity to bitch about the conditions in her "Club Fed" jail.They should have tossed her in the county lock-up.

SO FAR, SO GOODThe horrible news from London yesterday has turned out to be somewhat better than was reported the first few hours. While any loss of life is unacceptable, it could have been far, far worse.The best news is how the Brits have responded, so far. There's a collective memory there that, no doubt, has its roots in the Blitz and latter-day IRA bombings. Of all the major "free" cities in

NOW WHAT?No links here. You can go to any news site and get an update on the terrorist bombings that occurred in London this morning. The good news (if you want to call it that) is that the terrorists opted to go with a large number of smaller bombs -- presumably "backpack/briefcase" sized -- so each explosion was relatively small, based upon the news reports.Of course, this attack is timed to

It focuses on those who have owned a car for three years, so it's really a report on the 2002 model year cars and how they've performed since new.The winner (no surprise) was Lexus, but you've got to read the report to see who came in 2nd

To say he keeps getting better is something of a cliche, but true. The increasing variety of his music keeps you guessing what he'll play next.

NOT SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF THISDaniel Pipes is always worth reading, even if you aren't sure what you just read, or even if you disagree with him. His most recent piece is a good example of this.I'm not sure I disagree with the position that allowing places like Iran to exist until it self-destructs isn't the worst idea in the World. But, assuming this is true, how do you explain China? If

CREATIVE "RECYCLING"I found this one humorous.It seems that an anti-war group petitioned to hand out protest literature at a Memorial Day parade in Columbia, Missouri.Of course, they were given that right, but another group chose to provide an alternative use for the literature the anti-war groups were handing out.

IDIOCYI'm surprised this didn't get more ridicule in the press. The "robing of the statues" was one thing that caused me a bit of heartburn.As I've said before, the hyper-religious overtones of some of the Bush team is one thing that gives me the creeps.

THE TRUTH WILL OUTThe name of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is something few would disagree with. Anyone who owns a pet is automatically sympathetic to the idea that animals should be treated with dignity and care and never mistreated.However, PETA is now being "uncovered." It appears that they really aren't what they say. While many of us provide financial support to "rescue

POTTY MOUTH POLITICSThough the title is a little ... umm ... odd, this op-ed piece is a very good look at how those with a liberal point-of-view who have the power of the pen (a/k/a mainstream media) rant and rave (or fall silent) to help encourage everyone to agree with them.When the vast majority of Americans continue to support the President's efforts in Iraq, the left seeks to promote any

WE SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISEDHow many of you ever saw or passed through Checkpoint Charlie? Even if you never were there, you certainly know what it was and what it represented for decades after World War II.After the fall of the Wall, a memorial was built to commemorate those who died trying to escape communism, but that memorial is scheduled to be destroyed . . .. . . on July 4th!

IN PLAIN VIEWHere's a good summary from Jed Babbin that tells us Hillary's plan for 2008.What's remarkable about the Clintons is they have this amazing ability to openly lie, yet have a huge percentage of the electorate either believe them or laugh along with them. It's been a fairly successful strategy for their entire political lives.It remains to be seen whether Hillary, a liberal "in plain

DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING YOUR HEAR . . .. . . and only half of what you see.How many of you have heard that old cliche that no doubt had it roots in the military or in the government?That's what makes the statement of one Democrat all the more incredulous. With all the talk of Gitmo being a "gulag" and "closing it down is the only answer", a bipartisan team from Congress just returned and Rep.

DANG, THIS IS COOLI'm sure you've seen (or maybe you own) a vehicle that has a "back-up" camera mounted just above the rear license plate. Great for making sure you don't back over the dog/cat/kid/bicycle.The geeks at Nissan have taken it to a whole new level with a new system in development that would give you a virtual overhead view of your car. Sort of "helicoptercam."

I KEEP COMING BACK TO PAKISTANOur "friend" in the mid east still continues to be a source of concern.Thanks to Pakistan, we have the exportation of nuke technology to North Korea and who knows who, plus plenty of training and supply of human resources in the war in Iraq and elsewhere.It's a slippery slope . . .

APOLOGIZE? FOR WHAT??After hearing Dick Durbin's half-assed "apology" for comparing the US military to Hitler and Pol Pot, it is truly rich when Hillary C. and Chuck Schumer say Karl Rove should apologize to liberals for saying:Conservatives saw the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for

LIBERALS SCORNEDAfter, what is it?, forty years or so of programming with a massively liberal tinge, it's interesting to see what's happening at PBS. It cracks me up when I hear numb nuts politicians say they don't want to see PBS turned into the "The O'Reilly Factor."I have a simple question -- if PBS is (in theory) to represent a variety of viewpoints, why shouldn't the "The O'Reilly Factor" (

GIVE LIBERALS A CHANCEI heard about this wonderful program this morning . . .I can't tell you how pleased I am about our new program to solve the problems at Guantanamo. Here is a copy of letters that are going out to the thousands of caring Americans who've complained about how Islamofacists have been treated while detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This same offer is also being made to Senator

QUICK, SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT SUBJECTA key factor in any sales pitch is the ability to receive feedback and adjust accordingly.Translation: if they ain't buying it, try a different pitch.Liberals would be well served to read Scott Rasmussen's recent poll which clearly states there is a small percentage (20%) of Americans who believe prisoners at Gitmo are mistreated. Only 30% of Democrats believe

WEASEL ALERTSen. "Dick" Durbin "apologized" yesterday, or did he?If you read (or hear, as I did) what he actually said, it wasn't much of an apology. He seemed to be saying, "Gee, sorry you got pissed or that I offended you, but I wasn't really wrong, otherwise I would admit what I said wasn't true."Sort of reminds me of the previous occupant of the White House and his inability to acknowledge

SO, WHAT'S IT REALLY LIKE OVER THERE?Here's a terrific post that is mostly an assessment by a guy who's over there that covers the major risk our troops face every day. I especially liked his comment about the fact that the major news media did not attend a conference where these issues were discussed at length.

IT AIN'T OVER TIL' IT'S OVERThe idiots in Congress and elsewhere who are "demanding" a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq remind me of those who demanded the same in Vietnam.A timetable is the best thing that any enemy can hope for. It's like saying to a kid in high school, if you just hang around and don't cause any trouble you'll get a "A" in this class. If we say we'll be out by the end of the

WHERE I PART COMPANY WITH BUSHThere are a couple of aspects of the President's policies that make me crazy. One is his pro-life/no stem cell research mania.The other is Cuba. Here's a story that illustrates my point.

FOX HUNTINGA favorite target of any left/liberal rant is Fox News. After all, it's part of the "vast right-wing conspiracy."So why does an arch-liberal like Clintonite Susan Estrich work at Fox rather than CNN?I'll let her explain:Three times as many people watch Fox every day as watch CNN. There were certainly times during the last campaign where I disagreed with decisions made by young

SPEAKING OF HILLARY . . . Here's an interesting interview with the author of her unauthorized biography. I especially liked this:NRO: How is HRC like Nixon?Klein: Like Nixon, Hillary is paranoid and has an enemies listLike Nixon, Hillary has used FBI files against her enemies.Like Nixon, Hillary believes that the ends justify the means.Like Nixon, Hillary has a penchant for doing illegal things.

STAR VS. STARHow ironic that a major "celebrity" (Bob Geldof) is telling performers they'd better not start ranting about "Bush, Blair or the war in Iraq." Will someone have their finger on a "kill switch" to cut off the microphone of someone who does??Geldof earns points from me on this one, especially since he has recognized that Bush has pushed for more aid to Africa than any other US
