Just A Chillin’

Patrick Ruffini says it best: some well-meaning folks are letting old school credentializing get in the way of confirming a real-world conservative who would move the Court in the right direction. We know little about Harriet Miers and her judicial abilities. We do not know how she has ruled, since she never sat on the […]

Quick thought

How does John Roberts keep a straight face while sitting there listening to Demoratic Senators bloviate? It is a measure that he is SCOTUS material, since he hasn’t giggled, smirked, tittered, laughed, guffawed, or yawned. Mine was going off all day long.

Cheney Bush Nominates Roberts For Chief Justice

Good news, everybody. Moving quickly to fill the vacancy left by Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist’s death, President Bush on Monday nominated Judge John Roberts to the nation’s top judicial post. “It is fitting that a great chief justice be followed in office by a person who shared his deep reverence for the Constitution, his […]

Holy Cow, a Positive Story!

I am flabbergasted. Maybe I shouldn’t be, since this story in the Raleigh N&O is local only. Freshly returned from Baghdad, U.S. Sen. Richard Burr said Thursday that a premature pullout of American forces there could destabilize the entire Middle East — possibly leading to civil war in Iraq or the toppling of the Saudi […]

Dems Imploding

The head of the DMC (Democratic Moonbat Council), Markos "Screw ’em" Zuniga (no relation to Daphne Zuniga of Spaceballs fame), has had a long running feud with the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) for control of the Party. The DLC is made up of the relatively normal Democrats (which propelled Bill Clinton to the Presidency), pitted […]

Cheney vs Hillary in 2008?

Sorry for the brief White Trash Wednesday interlude, but Jebediah is drunk. Seems as if Bob Woodward has something to say: Hillary Clinton will win the Democratic nomination for president in 2008 and her Republican opponent will be none other than Dick Cheney, according to Watergate journalist Bob Woodward. Speaking to a crowd in Aspen, […]

Sorta Blogless Sunday-Interlude on Liberals

Now this is just funny as the all getout, which is why I am posting it on Sorta Blogless Sunday At least 80 wealthy liberals have pledged to contribute at least $1 million each to fund a network of think tanks and advocacy groups to compete with the potent conservative infrastructure built up over the […]

One and Only Ohio-02 Post

Good Morning, Y’all! It is simply amazing that the Dems can spin an election loss somehow into a win. Jean Schmidt (R) beat Paul Hacket (Very D) in a special election in Ohio’s 2nd District yesterday by 52% to 48%. Vote tallies were 57,974 to 54,401. But somehow, this is a win for the Dems. […]

Sore Losers, part 8 Gajillion

The poor New York Times. Once again, their liberal and apologist agenda has been trumped. Today’s editorial by, well, no one, sounds like a whiny recalcitration of the Leftist doctrine of smear people, stand up for the enemy and other bad people, and, for good measure, forget to do research. If there’s a positive side […]

It’s gonna be a seething kind of day

Not for me, though. (via WRAL) Fed up by a five-month fight with Senate Democrats, a senior White House official said President George W. Bush will install John Bolton Monday to be his new ambassador to the United Nations. How soon will the Kosbat Kids, Du’ers, and those pesky Congressional Democritters take before the pure […]
