The American News has a story on local reaction to the resurrection of Ellsworth. Yours truly, wearing my political science hat, is quoted saying much the same thing as I have said here. Thune received more grief than he deserved...

I agree with Glenn. Make 'em all fly commercial....

A USATODAY report quotes Tom Daschle as he reflected on the 1995 BRAC process:Fueling Republican resentment: The feeling that political favoritism was allowed to influence decisions during the last round of base closings in 1995, when Democrats were in charge....

Educator working on Nobel Peace Prize nomination for McGovern+

Of note in this morning's Argus LeaderLoser:

A Florida professor is trying to get politicians, scholars and others to write letters that will help him with the paperwork to nominate former Sen. George McGovern for the Nobel Peace Prize. "He had always been one of my heroes," Robert Watson, a political science professor at Florida Atlantic University, said of McGovern, a three-term senator from South Dakota who was the Democratic Party's 1972 presidential nominee. "I can't think of a more compelling or deserving public figure for the causes of peace and alleviating world hunger than George McGovern."

The article continues with the expression of more such sentiments. The only question that occurs to the Chief is WHAT DID HE ACCOMPLISH? Anything specific at all? Anything except opposing Nixon and the Viet-nam war?

As far as that is concerned, even if the anti-war activism of the day was influential in causing the US to abandon aid to South Viet-nam, thereby enabling the Commie victory (thus ending the war), the "peace" that resulted in South Viet-nam, and even more so, Cambodia, had a greater resemblence to Auschwitz in terms of death than it did to anything most rational people would consider to be true peace....unless...it's just OK for Communists to do this sort of thing, since they're on the political left.

Nobel Peace Prize? The Chief would hope not...but given the state of Euro moonbats these days, it just might fly, especially if they use it as a means of jabbing the current GOP administration as resembling (in their minds) the dreaded Nixon.

Seth, of the CCK, is whining about blog bickering regarding Ellsworth and we are suppose to stop it:Seriously, I?m reading the South Dakota blogs and I?m getting sick. It?s generally a bunch of East River people so entrenched in partisan...

Quentin mentions just below the Daily Kos and some comments on Ellsworth posted Tuesday. KOS's comment on today's news is priceless. Someone took pity on poor Sen. Thune and spared SD's base from closure. The commission is voting on which...

Of course the former Senator his happy and whatever efforts he did make are appreciated. And he also says the issue was not that big of a deal in the 2004 election. [Daschle] said Friday that he has helped the...

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 ?
