Via Eric the Viking, we learn that there's a movement afoot by lib bloggers to actually make the centrist/moderate Democratic Leadership Council "radioactive." Quoth the Kos, nevermore: Two more weeks, folks, before we take them on, head on. No calls...

Eugene Volokh, a highly respected law professor, defends the morality of assassination while questioning its practicality. I would argue that unless a strong argument can be made otherwise a civilian leader should be treated as a non-combatant, making assassination unjust...

GOP hopefuls breaking from Bush

This is illustrative of why the Chief is not very excited about most of these GOP thus far noted as possibles for the top of the ticket in '08.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee staked out his own ground on the issue of stem-cell research.

Supporting federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research (prior to last week's announcement by Harvard that they could convert skin cells to embryonic type stem cells) constitutes a Federally established demand for fetally derived embryonic stem cells, which in turn converts abortion into an even more commercial proposition to meet that demand.

Sen. George Allen of Virginia publicly disagreed with Mr. Bush's refusal to meet a second time with anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan.

Yech! Why would anyone want to meet with that whiney left-wing frump and give her the platform and added attention (Film at 11!) she craves.

Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska compared the war in Iraq to the Vietnam War, an analogy that is anathema to Mr. Bush. Sen. John McCain of Arizona has long disagreed with the president's tax cuts and confidence in Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.

In the case of both Hegel and McCain, having an excellent and heroic war record in Viet-nam is apparently gives no guarantee of having a cogent and rational capacity for political thought 35 years later.
'nuff said.

Yet none of these senators has positioned himself as more conservative than the president, a move that might appeal to disaffected sectors of the Republican base. "It's a real dilemma for these Republican senators," said Democratic strategist Mary Anne Marsh. "They're trying to differentiate themselves from Bush on certain issues. And yet the Republican activists who dominate the nominating process are sticking with Bush on those issues."

HAH! This Donk has figured it out, on this at least.

Analysts from both parties said Republicans would do well to tap into the biggest sources of discontent among conservative Republicans -- lax immigration laws and excessive federal spending. Although no candidate has taken a prominent stance against the expansion of government under Mr. Bush, a dark horse is strongly challenging the administration on immigration. Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican, adamantly opposes Mr. Bush's plan to grant legal status to millions of Mexicans who illegally entered the U.S. Although Mr. Tancredo's White House prospects are considered remote, his candidacy could pull the Republican field rightward in the way former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean pulled the Democratic field leftward in last year's primaries.

Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) is far and away ahead of the pack as far as the Chief is personally concerned!

Juan Cole is a disgusting prick, a Middle East "expert" who also serves as one of Islamofascism's most ardent -- and disturbing -- apologists. He also happens to be the "go to" guy for a lot of people on the...

BRAC. No, it's not just the sound you make after eating the onion soup. It seems as though tomorrow (Friday) is the day. Sometime in the morning we will know whether Ellsworth Air Force Base will stay open or not....

Cindy Sheehan 'channeling' slain son

WOW! This gal is really something - a virtual archetypal avatar for a perfect new-age leftist moonbat. This is breathtaking it's so far out there...and the MSM takes her SERIOUSLY? Oooooh Kaaaaay.

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan is now purportedly "channeling" her slain son, Casey, from heaven, suggesting he's calling President Bush "an idiot," and she claims to have "tens of thousands of angels" supporting her cause to bring home immediately American troops serving in Iraq.

"Tens of thousands of angels...?" Maybe so - FALLEN angels - from the opposition side. Another possible explanation: can you say p-s-y-c-h-o-s-i-s ?

A lot's been made over the dwindling box office receipts this summer, and now I see (via Instapundit) that movie studios are going to drastically cut the number of ads they run in newspapers. This always brings about the "Why...

My top rule is:Do not do what the Democrat?s sayNormally, the Democrats are reacting to a truth that either they cannot accept or a truth they do not want others to believe. So when Theron McChesney said, Sibson needs to...
