First it was Michael Lind. Now a Washington Post report is supporting my view that the Democratic Party will continue to lose as long as it is perceived as culturally out of touch with a large segment of Americans: Dissatisfaction...

Chad Schuldt pulls off another partisan-based lie. This one is about Cindy Sheehan:The most important fact in the story is that Sheehan lost her son in the war last spring. She has been rebuffed by the President and there have...

Bush under pressure on influx from Mexico

This issue is hot and getting hotter. The Chief has posted several times in the past that the GOP was in a position of being at least partially outflanked to the right on the border security issue. With the exception of a few outspoken people like Tom Tancredo (R-CO )the general level of squishiness on this from the President on down, leaves Donks a hole big enough to drive a busload of illegals through.

The emergency declarations of the Donk governors of Arizona and New Mexico, along with the concerned noises from Hilary herself show that some of them at least are getting the message from the voters at last. The real question, especially in Hilary's case is whether or not this is an actual substantive policy, or is just a ploy to hoodwink some red-state voters to shift in '08.

Based on the record, the Chief is inclined NOT to give much credibility to Sen. Hil's new-found moderation.

Fire rages at a chemical plant in suburban Detroit

There have been several of these sorts of fires in the last couple months or so. If the Chief were paranoid, he MIGHT think that someone or some group might be trying to knock back our petrochemical infrastructure to negatively impact the economy, especially with the well documented tight situation with refining capacity.

Naaah. Surely Homeland Security or someone would tell us if something like that were happening. Wouldn't they?

Then again...just because I'm paranoid, doessn't mean somebody isn't REALLY after me!

From the National Ledger: Did defense intelligence officials identify ringleader Mohammed Atta and three other hijackers as al Qaeda members more than a year before 09/11? That?s what Lee Hamilton, co-chair of the now disbanded 09/11 Commission, wants to know....
