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!)

The National Education Association, which claims to care about education, is asking parents to boycott Wal-Mart during this back to school purchasing season. I never cease to be amazed at the left's concerted effort to demonize a company that employees...

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.

This Cindy Sheehan thing is turning into a mess. I had vowed to myself that I wasn't going to say anything else about her after my two initial posts, but violated that pledge when her moonbats-in-arms accused the Secret Service...

I have largely ignored the Cindy Sheehan circus because I take it to be just that: a circus. I believe that the phenomenon is a product of a lazy media who, as it has been well noted, get bored when...

Check out Deborah Orin's column in the New York Post (subscription):President Bill Clinton's team ignored dire warnings that its approach to terrorism was very dangerous and could have deadly results, according to a blistering memo just obtained by The Post....

Even Babies Aren't Exempt From 'No-Fly' List

Infants have been stopped from boarding planes at airports throughout the United States because their names are the same as or similar to those of possible terrorists on the government's "no-fly" list.

Bureaucratic bulls--t baffles brains once again. And the TSA is supposed to make us more safe? NOT!

It sounds like a joke, but it's not funny to parents who miss flights while scrambling to have babies' passports and other documents faxed.

Not only does it SOUND like a joke - it, er rather the TSA is a very bad joke.

I recently blogged on an NCAA ruling denying schools with abusive or hostile mascots/nicknames the right to participate in NCAA post-season play. The NCAA directive seems to be aimed at schools with Native American mascots. The University of North Dakota...
