Bush Let People Die To Pad Pockets of Pals In Mortuary BusinessPromises Action in Spite of RINOs in Gang of 14
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) warned Democrats yesterday that he will not hesitate to trigger the so-called ?nuclear option? to enforce an eleventh-hour deal that a centrist coalition of 14 lawmakers struck Monday on President Bush?s stalled judicial nominees.At least some in the Senate continue to fly the Republican flag instead of the white flag of the RINO caucus. Meanwhile, two of the RINOs are developing their waffling skills to a previously unheard of level:
Sens. Lindsey Graham(R-SC)(RINO-SC)and Mike DeWine(R-O)(RINO-O), two of the seven Republican signatories to the memorandum of understanding on the judges, backed up Frist, threatening to vote for the option should Democrats attempt to block nominees in circumstances that the two lawmakers would not consider ?extraordinary.?So what's THAT all about? Feeling some heat from back home? Or what?
Anyway, the CHief hopes that Frist and the remaining real GOP senators go ahead and PUSH the agenda to the max, & let the chips fall where they may. At least that way the wafflers on both sides wpuld be exposed for once and for all for what they really are, or are not. THAT would seriously clear the air!
Oh, Jesus Christ....The Political Undead in South Dakota
When the Levee BreaksDaschle Coterie Continues Campaign of Lies against Thune
Maybe it's time to get out the oaken stakes, garlic, and crucifixes to try to deal with the undead of South Dakota politics, the hapless partisans of Tom Daschle that are currently spouting a series of lies, half-truths, and distortions in an ill-begotten attempt to assissinate the character and image of Sen. John Thune.
The gory details are laid out by Sibby here, here, and here. (Not to short-change the yeoman service done over at South Dakota Politics on this also: they are regularly linked by Sibby in his postings.)
On the face of it Hildebrandt, Epp, and the rest of thier ilk from the Daschle camp seem to have a reality problem: their guy lost the election, largely because their true orientation on the issues was too far removbed from what most SD voters thought. Somebody better call them a waahmbulance: wah-wah, wah-wah, wah-wah!
Ryne McClaren has a nice piece on the pork that Federal dollars purchased in Louisiana, when they could have been spent, say, strengthening levees. I especially liked this one:Remember when then-Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge recommended that people stockpile some...Sibby taking some heat

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!
