Only one of the world's biggest hacks could possibly dump hurricane Katrina in George Bush's lap. RFJ Jr. steps up. Second place goes to fellow HuffPo clown Russell Shaw, who ponders that if Carter had beat Reagan, would N.O. have...

I'm home in Nebraska from South Dakota, and am feeling quite cruddy. When you combine not feeling well with a "catch up" day at work (and add in some household chores you've been letting slide), this is not the way...

Charles notes that the San Francisco chapter of the "9/11 Truth Moonbats Alliance" held an "artwork" contest, with a special category for kids. And while the little tyke who won certainly created some nifty spew (talk about rotten parenting), nothing...

From Burt Prelutsky: The people I could not begin to fathom were those like Robert Kennedy Jr., the self-proclaimed energy conservationist who flies hither and thither in private jets, who blamed President Bush for the disaster. If only he had...

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."

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.

Thank heavens for small miracles. A woman who led an anti-war protest for nearly a month near President Bush's ranch said Tuesday that she's glad Bush never showed up to discuss her son's death in Iraq, saying the president's absence...

Once again, here are a couple of links if you're wanting to make a monetary donation to help out with Hurricane Katrina aid: The American Red Cross. Soldiers' Angels. The American Kennel Club's Canine Relief Fund. Here's a mailing address...
