I haven't been anywhere near a computer today, so I hope everyone was keeping an eye on Instapundit's blogstorm and lining up a good relief effort or three to donate a little dough to. Or, you could have picked either...

I'm tremendously touched by the donations I've received so far for our local Sheriff's Relief Fund, a venture that aims to get a truckload of supplies delivered to Mississippi for distribution to local law enforcement/fire/EMT folks. (Click the link for...

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...

Chief Justice Rehnquist dies of cancer

This is not a major surprise, since Justice Rehnquist's health problems had been known for some time.

Now there are two open seats on the court, with the new court term opening in October, it looks like the fireworks over SCOTUS appointments will really fire up now in the Senate. Donk filibuster(s)? Could be. Attempted Borking of nominees? The Chief would count on it - Donks are Donks, all their leadership knows any more is mind-numbing DUmmie rhetoric and tactics.

Another point: according to the Donks' logic on Judge Roberts replacing Justice O'COnnor, they CLAIMED that they wanted to see someone of similar ideological bent to maintian the current alignment of the court. Now that Rehnquist, a conservative has passed on, will they be willing to cheerfully accept a conservative replacement, to maintain that same balance? Hmmmm?

The Chief is willing to quess there's as much chance of this as there was for Billy Graham to be named Pope.

Dead bodies are floating in the streets, the entire city is mostly submerged, looters are running amok, inmates have taken hostages at a local jail, and they're evacuating the Superdome (a site where there have been, what, three deaths now?)....

There isn't always a reason

There is a very well-written and articulate posting on the by Julie Neidlinger on the Lone Prairie blog up in North Dakota concerning the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

As the saying goes, she has reason in her comments, which the Chief thinks is right on the mark. It's worth a look, so check it out.

H/T to SD Politics on this one.

If they gave Pulitzer's to Internet blogs, NROs The Corner would get one for its Katrina coverage. I would encourage readers to give it a look and see what smart, caring, and fiesty conservatives are saying. I don't claim to...

I have been taking heat for the post that points out the lack of International aid to the US for the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina. Here is one email:In light of your unbelievably ignorant and ridiculous post US on...
