Next high court pick anyone's guess

The next appointment for the Supremes is going to be where the rubber meets the road. Bush will either waffle to try to ger along with the Donks, or he can apoint a red meat conservative and jab a finger in the Donkaey's eye.

Hopefully it will be the latter, and one also hopes that the Senate GOP will have big enough cojones to make the appointment stick, whether or not it takes the "COnstitutional option" to shut down a filibuster, or whatever...

Time will tell, and this is one the Chief will be watching closely, along with many others from all sides of the political spectrum. On with the show!

California Conservative

This site was ref'ed in the previous post, and the Chief took a look at the rest of it, and saw several interesting posts there, and some good writing:

Like many tourists, I was drawn to the careless fantasy that was New Orleans, reveling in the booze, food, and jazz without a second thought for tomorrow. But tomorrow always came, and once the throbbing haze of Pat O?Brien?s finally subsided, I thankfully returned to my family, career, and responsibilities.

The problem with binge fantasies is that the devil eventually shows up like a back alley loan shark to collect his fee. For some it?s monetary, while others are crippled by something akin to metal pipe across the knees. For New Orleans, the devil came in the form of Katrina, who in her own big easy form, pirouetted lazily across the Caribbean and Florida to a city where today?s troubles could always wait for tomorrow. Striking an area the size of Great Britain, Katrina displaced or drowned a population long overdue for a cold shower.

This is one that you may want to check out, at least every now and then. I know it's added to MY list - and besides, it's nice to know that there are still some conservatives to carry the torch in the land of Ronaldus Magnus Reagan.

I just saw this on Powerline, and its way too good to pass up. Speaking to the Republican Jewish Coalition in Washington, President Bush told this joke. Rabbi Stanton Zamek of the Temple Beth Shalom Synagogue in Baton Rouge, Louisiana,...

I can't say as though I've ever watched Bill Maher's show on HBO, but couldn't resist tuning in tonight to see George Galloway and Christopher Hitchens. It was about what you'd expect, and nothing worth noting. Galloway truly is treacherous...

Uh-oh: Kenner Mayor Phil Capitano suspended a top aide, Cedric Floyd, without pay on Wednesday amid an investigation into whether Floyd took more than his fair share of Hurricane Katrina relief supplies from the donation center he supervised. Police said...

Up until today I was guessing, along with many others, that a substantial number of Democrats would vote to confirm John Roberts. This would have made the Democrats look less obstructionist and more reasonable. That, I supposed, would have positioned...
