The Enemy Within

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

Within our prisons, that is. Oh, BTW: What’s the over/under on how long it will take before the ACLU files some kind of anti-profiling lawsuit?

Must Read From James Glassman

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

Don’t miss this article by Jim Glassman at Tech Central Station. Glassman calls the enviro-extremists on their disgusting exploitation of the Katrina suffering and combats them with something that is like garlic to a vampire — FACTS. This is definitely a clip and save article to share with friends that don’t “do” the internet. Prayers [...]

Ad Hoc

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

Obviously the Katrina relief efforts are dominating the wires and the airwaves. But here are some misc. items about which people might be interested: 1. Relativism It’s still about “rebels” and “militants” over in Iraq. So says the Chicago Tribune. What, pray tell, will it take for the Trib to start using the term “terrorists?” [...]

Trapped in the Past

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

The far left in New Yawk City: One year after large-scale protests at the Republican National Convention, the New York Civil Liberties Union issued a report on Tuesday criticizing police for using heavy-handed tactics it says resulted in hundreds of illegal arrests. Honestly, when you boil it down that article speaks at such high volumes [...]

Policies Matter

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

Your federal government is responding to the Katrina disaster with a modicum of common sense. That approach is a heck of a lot better than “price control.” For “price control” inevitably would lead to: (1) supply shortages, (2) higher relative demand, and therefore (3) much higher prices. Fortunately, however, we’ve come quite a long way [...]

Beyond Numbers

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

More than a hundred dead, just in Mississippi. 23,000 people staying in the Superdome have to be moved to Houston’s Astrodome, because of fears about the Superdome’s safety. Personal losses in the billions of dollars. Widespread looting, far beyond the control of the police. And it’s going to get worse. UPDATE: In the course of [...]

Katrina Update

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

LGF has various links to various relief agencies. Man, this one is like Hurricane Andrew and the Loma Prieta quake — combined. Unbelievable.

1972 Re-Visited

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

Here’s an interesting quote: So please tell us again, Mr. Nixon and Mr. McNamara, why we must stay in Viet Nam when we can’t win there? Why your obsession with the overthrow of a tin-pot tyrant led us down a path to the deaths of 58,000 Americans in a country that isn’t worth the life [...]

Cindy Sheehan’s Fourteenth Minute And Some Moving Words From Some “Non-Cindy” Parents

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

I know, Jayson said her 15 minutes were up, but I missed these posts at The Corner about the Cindy Sheehan appearance on NPR and it really does need to be mentioned. And yes, it does provide additional support for Jayson’s pronouncement. I have read many of the outrageous Sheehan quotes, but had not heard [...]

15 Minutes Over

Or not. Gee, only the highest reading in four years, huh? Hooverville.

Wait Until Next Year

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

Rudy G. says he’ll decide next year whether to run for Prez. Hmm. Fair enough, I guess.

2006

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

Democrat Candidate Recruitment Missouri State Auditor, Claire McCaskill, plans to run against GOP Senator, Jim Talent. McCaskill just lost a bid for an open gubernatorial seat by the margin of 51-48. Talent won his U.S. Senate seat against an incumbent — an appointed one, sure, but one with monumental name recognition — by the margin [...]

Chaos

Tuesday, August 30th, 2005

Looting and rioting and death have come to the Gulf Coast and it does not appear that the chaos will end anytime soon. Michelle Malkin has a link rich post compiling the various Katrina stories from New Orleans. And the water continues to rise. UPDATE: I can’t help but worry that the worst flooding is [...]
