Brian Maloney and Michelle Malkin have been publishing a multi-part series of "Inside Air America" pieces that will likely shed new light on some of Err America's past operations. It appears to be a very good bit of investigative blogging,...Politicizing the Past
San Francisco has delivered a slap in the face to our nation's past and has refused to commemorate the USS Iowa. The reason is the usual asinine, lefty response: . . . [C]ity supervisors voted 8-3 last month to oppose...NARAL, anti-Roberts, Daschle, and Johnson
During the 2004 campaign, Daschle couldn't avoid the issue of work he did for NARAL and Emily's List. He even refused to answer a reporter's question about whether he was pro-choice and, in the process, confirmed the criticism that he...A Little Judicial Humor
One thing that makes me hopeful about John Roberts is that, unlike most of the black robes, he can write sentences that are both intelligent and elegant. He also appears to have a sense of humor. This from one of...Clash of Titans in the Great White North!
He's not a victim, he's a heroCanada flexes its muscles in dispute over Arctic wastes
While the US is busy taking on global Islamofascism, Canada is also busy sticking up for it's interests:
Canadian warships were sailing towards the Arctic yesterday in the latest act of gunboat diplomacy over control of the frozen wastes there.Amid diplomatic arguments over territorial rights, Canada's defence minister recently clambered on to a frozen rock, tiny Hans Island, triggering protests from Denmark. The Canadian programme hit high gear yesterday as the frigate Fredricton sailed towards the contested Davis Strait separating Greenland and north-east Canada.Denmark was not going to take this lying down - but the brink of disaster has been averted with the prospects of meetings at the UN.
Denmark dispatched the naval cutter Tulugaq and threatened to land more men. However, as tensions rose, the two Nato allies had second thoughts, and the rival claimants agreed to discuss the dispute at the United Nations next month.(Phew! Close call! Another world war averted!)
Still, this whole thing threatens a new arctic arms race, since the Canucks apparently need a bit more guns and less butter:
Critics of the Canadian policy argue that if the government is serious about pursuing a robust "northern strategy" it will have to start investing.A C$700 million (£322 million) road to Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic Sea has been proposed, but the money has not yet been pledged.Maybe the Martin government can pitch in some of its political slush fund money to help repay from the "Ad-scam" scandal, which has been fully documented by Captain's Quarters, among others.
The military, meanwhile, is not ideally equipped for the brutal conditions of the far north. Although it is expanding its Arctic command base at Yellowknife, the navy lacks sufficient capacity to plough through the pack ice. Critics say that this explains why the Canadian authorities have chosen the summer months to undertake their sovereignty patrols.This situation will bear close watching, what with World Peace on the brink and all.
From KXAN Austin: Cindy Sheehan continues to camp outside the president's ranch, demanding he tell her what noble cause her son died for. While she has plenty of support, there's also opposition, including the parents of a fallen Central Texas...
