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...

Sen. John Thune, (R-SD)issued the following comment on yesterdays RINO-Donk "Compromise" deal:

?I?m happy to see that three of the President?s judicial nominees will receive an up or down vote. However, I still believe that all judicial nominees with majority support deserve the fairness of an up or down vote on the Senate floor.?

Nothing there the Chief would disagree with. We did well to get Thune elected instead of that weasel Daschle!

More detailed MSM spiel on this here in the Argus.

Promises 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!

After nearly two years, David Kranz finally covers Tom Daschle?s homestead deduction on his DC home. But it looks like he only did so to slam Republican Karl Rove:When the majority of South Dakotans voted against Sen. Tom Daschle last...

Labor Day weekend is always a busy one for me. Saturday was my birthday, so I usually take an extra day off and make it a four day bonanza of non-work. So needless to say, I'm not going to spend...

John Roberts will be up for Chief Justice. This was a move widely expected in the last 24 hours. Todd Zywixki over at Volokh wonders what the status of Sandra Day O'Connor is. It's a good question....

Maybe this is something that the Louisiana voters can ask their delegation about: Army's engineers spent millions on Louisiana projects labeled as pork. Before Hurricane Katrina breached a levee on the New Orleans Industrial Canal, the Army Corps of Engineers...

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...
