Are Kofi’s Days At The U.N. Numbered?
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004I agree with Norm Coleman that Kofi Annan must go. (Link via Instapundit) The scandals at the U.N. are the most under reported story of the year. For the media to largely ignore the scandals in a Presidential election year, when one candidate is advocating the U.N. as the magic bullet to solve [...]
Corzine to Run for N.J. Gov.
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004In light of Jon (“Moneybags”) Corzine’s intention to run for N.J. Governor, it looks as if the New Jersey Senate seat, barring something unforeseen, will be staffed, come Nov. 2006, by an unelected, freshman Democrat to be named in due course.
Paging Christie Todd Whitman . . .
Open Thread
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004Where are all the commentors tonight?
Ah, yes, the “poll junkies” must all be in withdrawal, eh?
In any event, here’s an open thread for the board. Just keep it clean, please. Other than that, fire away . . . .
Mfume Resigns from the NAACP
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004Another major resignation took place today.
Kweisi Mfume stepped down as the CEO of the NAACP. Mr. Mfume undoubtedly will be credited, and justifiably so, with fixing the NAACP’s financial condition, following the nearly-disasterous campaign of graft and corruption in which his predecessor engaged.
At this point, I can’t help but wonder whether the tax-exempt NAACP [...]
A Cult of Death in Holland
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004Here’s a report regarding yet another “sophisticated” practice out of the death cult otherwise known as Europe.
Hey, if it makes you “feel good,” why not just kill everybody? Newborn, adult, in pain, not in pain, sentient, or otherwise?
Plus, it’s not as if we commoners should ever question the judgment of our “intellectual superiors” [...]
“Modern” Middle Eastern Youth
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004I have linked to Terrorism Unveiled many times. “Athena” is a native North Carolinian and I was able to meet her in person before she went to Jordan in August. She is smart and brave and I have said many prayers for her since she has been in the Middle East. I [...]
Essential Podhoretz
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004John Podhoretz tears the far left a new one, over their disgraceful pessimism and duplicity regarding various foreign policy issues of the day.
As they say, read the whole thing.
Democratic Self-Parody: The Evergreen State Gov. Race
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004Ron Sims, the primary opponent of Democratic Gubernatorial candidate, Christine Gregoire, picked up 502 write-in votes in the heavily-liberal, overwhelmingly-Democratic bastion of King County, Washington.
Sims, of course, lost the primary, and therefore was not on the ballot.
Furthermore, those “votes” for Sims didn’t count. By state law, candidates who lose in the primary are not [...]
More Demagoguery From the Far Left
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004Various partisan-liberal factions are attacking the nomination of Alberto Gonzales for Attorney General of the United States.
Again, I must say that, in my view, their “concerns” are just a pretext for racism.
I categorically will refuse to believe the stated “concerns” about this nominee are held in good faith, unless and until each one of the [...]
The Revolution Grows
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004I have to hand it to Dan Rather; he knows when to head for the door.
As we know, Rathergate has put a lit match to the gas can that is Dan Rather’s credibility, but the poster boy for MSM Paranoia knows how to hedge his bets and line his pockets. Yeah, in just a [...]
Ridge Out
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004ABC is reporting that Tom Ridge will resign as Director of Homeland Security.
Will Rudy G. ride to the rescue?
Or should Rudy be drafted to keep the Governorship of New Yawk in GOP hands?
Or is there someone out there who would be a better fit, for the DHS job, in any event?
UPDATE: The Associated (de)Press(ed) and [...]
Attacks On Troops Plummet
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004This is something I have not seen in the Old Media. From the reports I have seen on television, I would have thought attacks on troops in Iraq had increased and would continue to do so until the January elections.
Decisive, Not Divisive
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004Check out Patrick Ruffini’s site for the latest Bush vote numbers, along with great gear to let all those you come in contact with know just how decisive the President’s victory really was. My slogan to convey the scope of the President’s victory would be “The Bush victory — decisive, not divisive.” [...]
Cocooning
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004For a telling example of lib-dem cocooning, check out Ruy “Emerging Democratic Majority” Teixeira’s blog entries for October. The last one is titled, “Kerry’s Lead Among Independents Makes Bush’s Situation Extremely Dire.”

Gardner
Tuesday, November 30th, 2004Yesterday I noted how Swiftee Steve Gardner had paid a heavy price for telling the truth about John Kerry’s Vietnam service. The good people at Power Line tracked down Gardner’s e-mail address. If you’d like to help him out, say with a job, his e-mail is sgardner5@carolina.rr.com
UPDATE: Millenium Information Services, the company that Gardner used [...]
