Having open comments on a blog is a lot like sitting out on your porch. Sometimes a friendly neighbor stops by for a chat, and sometimes the moonbats are drawn to the light. I enjoy the moonbats. In fact, without...

Cats are for wimps, lonely women and people with deep-seated mental disorders. I love dogs, and things like this are one of the reasons why: Lost dog catches train home. WHEN Archie the black labrador lost his owner at a...

In the post below I didn't answer the if made illegal question. I believe in the past the criminal codes on abortion punished the doctors, not the women. I'd prefer that strongly. I think having states differ on abortion in...

Holy shit. Those are really the only two words that I can think of that can accurately describe what they're predicting for New Orleans. It's a category 5 hurricane. Hundreds of thousands are fleeing. "Millions" may be homeless. Parts...

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.

Time for a Katrina blogburst. Instapundit wants a post recommending relief efforts to donate to, and here are the two I like: The American Red Cross. Soldiers' Angels, which has set up a special fund for servicepeople in the disaster...

Denise Ross notes Daschle's trouble finding a phone in Montana and Hildebrand's bitterness:Of course, what [Daschle] said to the AP Friday was silly, and no doubt it?s an interview he wishes he could get a do-over on. (During a phone...
