This from SkyNews needs to be passed on! H/T to Alan at Barking Moonbat Early Warning System.

A self-styled art terrorist has caused embarrassment at the British Museum in London by installing his own 'primative' painting of a caveman pushing a supermarket trolley. The artwork appeared in the Roman Britain gallery.

The bizarre exhibit, labelled Early Man Goes to Market, was a hoax put there by Banksy, the most famous art terrorist in the country.

'nuff said.

Europe faces up to double rejection of treaty

Interesting report from across the pond: The Frogs and the Dutch seem poised to vote NON! on the proposed Eurocratic Constitution. Oooops. There goes the push for a fully integrated United States of Europe, or whatever it would have been called.

Pesky democracy! Those sheeple just don't vote the way their leaders say they should!

I'm going to write a personal check for $55 tomorrow, the amount I've received via PayPal for the Sheriff's Relief Fund. I'm also thinking about just matching whatever all of you have donated for my own personal contribution. That should...

I haven't been anywhere near a television set today, and I've only just begun trying to catch up on what's happening in Louisiana and Mississippi via the Internet, but Instapundit's been covering it all day....

FEMA Dumps Brown As Katrina Relief Chief

Call a spade a spade: Pres. Bush appointing this guy as head of FEMA was NOT a positive move. Pulling him out of the Katrina situation into a role of "overall supervision" is effectively kicking him upstairs to get him out of the way.

This is a necessary move, and frankly, the Chief hopes that he is gracefully moved out altogether after some period of time, to complete the process of error correction.

His replacement, Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen has HIS ducks in a row, and will be a major improvement.

YIKES! Blogposts Vanish into Ether!

Something horrible happened this afternoon resulting in the deletion of all of the Chief's postings from June through the current date/time.

Even more unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be retrievable - AND - this occurred with no backup for the time in question. (I know, always do regular backups - and I DO, at least for my working files - but I didn't think to do so for my blog. Oh well.

What's the old moonbat-ish cliche? Oh yeah, this is almost like the first day of the rest of the blog - and I'll have new posts up (generally) daily.

H/T to Maha Rushi who had this on his show today. The OpEd here from the SanFran Chronicle (not a stronghold of the VRWC) describes a mental odyssey that took the writer out of the left, into the world of reality:

Nightfall, Jan. 30. Eight-million Iraqi voters have finished risking their lives to endorse freedom and defy fascism. Three things happen in rapid succession. The right cheers. The left demurs. I walk away from a long-term intimate relationship. I'm separating not from a person but a cause: the political philosophy that for more than three decades has shaped my character and consciousness, my sense of self and community, even my sense of cosmos.

I'm leaving the left -- more precisely, the American cultural left and what it has become during our time together.

I choose this day for my departure because I can no longer abide the simpering voices of self-styled progressives -- people who once championed solidarity with oppressed populations everywhere -- reciting all the ways Iraq's democratic experiment might yet implode.

Nice bit of writing and thinking here - the writer also called and discussed this some more with Rush also. Pretty good nerve for still living in SanFran - possibly the ultimate center of the moonbat habitat.

Call for Accountability led by Tancredo:
Nicely job performance doesn't live up to his name!?

This is definitely a step in the right direction! At least there are a few House members who seem to take their Constitutional responsibilities seriously.

Eight members of the House of Representatives, led by Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., and chairman of the House Immigration Reform Committee, are calling for the resignation of a Border Patrol official in Arizona who is alleged to have told his agents to stand down following the Minuteman Project vigil in April so that an increase in apprehensions of illegal aliens would not give the citizen group bragging rights.

The focus of attention is Michael Nicely, agent-in-charge of the Tucson Sector of the Border Patrol. He is accused by a dozen of his agents of ordering them to be less than aggressive in arrests beginning in early May.

One can only hope that this has some effect out in the field. This total nonsense of border officials (NOT the field officers, but their hack "superiors") refusing to enforce the laws of the nation has been a festering sore on the body of the American republic. If we don;t have a border, then we don't have a country!
