Hagel: Let's Negotiate

Chuck Hagel has been immensely quotable the last couple of days. Is he running for something? In an interview with Reuters during a trip across his home state on Wednesday, Hagel said the United States should greet the new Iranian...
KRANZ: Donks Should Use "Symbolism over Substance"

National Democrats might want to use Herseth's playbook

This is interesting in light of Herseth's erratic and generally low level of legislative accomplishment. The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader's Dave Kranz continues to cheerlead the Donks hopes for a resurgance in the mid-term elections.

If national Democrats listen to Rep. Stephanie Herseth, they will adopt parts of the game plan that won her a seat in the House even though South Dakota is a bright-red George Bush state. Herseth took some conservative positions in her campaign, then voted that way on several occasions when she got to Washington. That has won her praise from conservatives, compliments from some would-be Republican opponents back home and scorn from some members of her own party who nonetheless will be hard-pressed to vote against her.

Uh, hello? Good morning Dave! Coffee smell good? In case you hadn't noticed, isn't this about what Hillary has been doing for a while?

With some of that bipartisan legislative conduct, Herseth says conditions could be favorable next year for Democrats to take back at least one of the chambers of Congress, now both controlled by Republicans. "First, we have to have a more concise message that mirrors the centrists in the party," Herseth said. That message might make some a little uncomfortable, she said.

Again: this is a case of changing the message to get some sucker votes - when in office the Donks will be Donks - and no holds will be barred.

Consider the impact on say, judicial appointments, to say nothing on national security issues. Does anyone with a lick of sense and a knowledge of history REALLY think that the Donks will do anything better than they have in the past?

Based on the performances of Dingy Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, and others of their ilk on the left, would helping to give these people MAJORITY status in either house of Congress be beneficial? No matter WHAT Stephanie says or does, she and others like her, are just another brick in the Donks' wall of closet socialism, political correctness, and appeasement.

Hagel: "We Have Got To Get Out"

I wonder if he'll be upset all over again when MoveOn.org slaps this in an ad? Earlier the same day in Lincoln, an elderly woman asked about Iraq. "Why are we there in the first place?" she asked. On Tuesday...
TSA Joins Keystone Kops

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.

An Experiment

Victor Davis Hanson proposes a kind of experiment. He notes the placating of terrorists and attempts at multilateralism going on in Gaza, Iran and North Korea. These are in contrast to the muscular American efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Which...
I Guess Lodging A Tax Protest Is Like Running A Marathon
