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!

Tennessee escapees brought down by Amway cover: COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A cab driver who picked up a couple suspected in the slaying of a Tennessee prison guard during a courthouse escape said Thursday the two told him they were...

Westerners considering separation

More than one-third of western Canadians surveyed this summer thought it was time to consider separation from Canada, a poll suggests. In the survey, 35.6 per cent of respondents from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia agreed with the statement: Western Canadians should begin to explore the idea of forming their own country.

Interesting. According to historians, about 1/3 of the colonists in what became the United States were in favor of that independence movement, so maybe there's enough sentiment up there for something to happen, eh?

A couple of items on this one in the WaPo:

Iraqis Fail To Meet Constitution Deadline

Despite Setback, Bush Optimistic on Iraqi Charter

The moonbat left is declaring defeat, and saying that the experiment of democracy in Iraq is failing. The Chief thinks not. To recall some historical perspective it took the USA years to come up with a Consititution after the end of the Revolutionary War.

Neither Rome nor Washington were built in a day - so why should anyone expect a new Baghdad to happen instantly, and without some jostling? Like Bismarck once observed: "People who like sausages and laws shouldn't watch either one being made." Not a bad observation to keep in mind - it might even still apply to us! (Shocking idea, that!)

"Erin," writing in the comments to my post yesterday: Character Assasination 101 is under way right now and it should be noted that even though I have only talked about the "players" that I have had direct contact with, there...

Yes, you read that right. The Northern Valley Beacon has a very good and very honest post about the NARAL commercial that slanders Judge John Roberts. He does suggest that Republicans started it and Democrats are only imitating what they...

From SDP: While it is a little hard to keep track of all the words flying around this weekend, here's a summary of what happened. On Friday or so, Erin started hammering on the Hildebrand Boys (the former/current Daschle bloggers...

PROTESTING SOLDIER MOM CHANGED STORY ON BUSH

Firstly, let it be stipulated, that this lady can say anything she wants.

Let it also be stipulated that based on the record, her credibility is at the very least questionable, since she is untroubled by any need to observe little details like consistancy trouble her accounts.

Cindy then:

THE REPORTER of Vacaville, CA published an account of Cindy Sheehan's visit with the president at Fort Lewis near Seattle on June 24, 2004:
"'I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis,' Cindy said after their meeting. 'I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith.'

Cindy now:

In an interview on CNN, she claimed Bush "acted like it was party" when she met him last year. "It was -- you know, there was a lot of things said. We wanted to use the time for him to know that he killed an indispensable part of our family and humanity. And we wanted him to look at the pictures of Casey. "He wouldn't look at the pictures of Casey. He didn't even know Casey's name. He came in the room and the very first thing he said is, 'So who are we honoring here?' He didn't even know Casey's name. He didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to hear anything about Casey. He wouldn't even call him 'him' or 'he.' He called him 'your loved one.'
