Been one of those weeks, but a forum poster alerted me to this article. It is always wonderful when ugly happens that is close to where one works and lives. An English professor at the University of North Carolina illegally subjected a student to “intentional discrimination and harassment” because he was “a white, heterosexual Christian […]

We all know that Kedwards missed the roll call vote for Porter Goss’ nomination. So I looked up who else missed.: Akaka (D-HI) Edwards (D-NC) Jeffords (I-VT) Kerry (D-MA) Santorum (R-PA) Specter (R-PA) And the 17 who voted against? All democrats, including our buddies Clinton, Kennedy, Dodd, Byrd, and Levin. But I said “hey, when […]

BTW, just in case y’all didn’t know, I live in Raleigh, NC. Have lived through multiple hurricanes and tropical systems here. By my count, NC is now 6 for 12, with the possiblity of Ivan sliding back up, and Jeanne hitting full on.

Smart move by the Senate. Goss was nominated by a vote of 77-17. (Love the name, BTW, same as my real one). By my math, that is 94 people voting, 6 not. Neither Kerry nor his running mate, Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., voted on the confirmation. Yup. Neither of them voted. No record of who […]

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – The remnants of Hurricane Ivan swung back into the Gulf of Mexico and threatened to develop into a tropical storm on a path westward toward southwest Louisiana and Texas. A hurricane hunter airplane was flying into the storm Wednesday to gather data on the possibility of strengthening, said Krissy Williams, a […]

If Kerry’s position on the war is that it is the “wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time,” how does he expect to get international cooperation (read France and Germany, of course)? (Thought courtesy of a poster on a forum, BushBotNov3)

From the wonderful new QandO Yesterday, John Kerry–finally–came up with a clear position on the war in Iraq. Unfortunately, his position has now accepted the full Deaniac criticism. As David Brooks points out in the New York Times.. Check out the rest over there. I just wanted to add one thing. He mentions Rwanda, but […]

cBS is going to scapegoat Mary Mapes, I expect her to be gone by the end of the week. Most telling is cBS saying that it would “examine the role of producer Mary Mapes in the passing the name to Lockhart.” Won’t work in saving Dan Rather, even if she decides to be be a […]

On the heels of France, now we have issues in Germany. The far right has made startling gains in regional elections in Germany as former communists made advances around Berlin, but parties of the centre clung to power with reduced support. The anti-immigrant Nationalist Democratic Party (NPD) won 9 per cent of the vote in […]

Well, I know I don’t, and I would doubt that most rational people do (read RWingnuts :)). And Kerry still hasn’t said who his “international nations” are as of yet. Weenie. But, if we need to add real criminals: Twelve French soldiers on peacekeeping duties in Ivory Coast have been arrested in connection with a […]
