Bush seeks to federalize emergencies

NUTS! The emperor has no clothes! Bush is NOT a conservative! Get it yet?

The So-called Republican President is rapidly demonstrating his true identity as a genuine FDR democrat: strong on national security, consistantly in pursuit of an expanded role for the Federal government in for example education, healthcare, and now THIS proposal for the Feds to trump the primary responsibility for emergency preparedness, and first-responder type services.

So much for federalism and the 10th amendment, as the MSM and assorted sheeple bleat for more feed from the Great Father in Washington, instead of looking to their own wits to maybe do some planning and preparation for expected natural (or un-natural) calamities.

Why is it too much to expect that a Republican leader could actually promote restraint of the growth of the Federal government, without turning our back on the apparent civilizational confrontation with Islamofascism.

What we need at this point in politics is SOMETHING that still believes in the attitude of the now thoroughly defunct Reagan Revolution: domestic restraint & a robust national security. Ronaldus Magnus has to be spinning in his grave.

Duelling Views of Hurricances

Here's a bit of scientific fact vs. emotional assertions based on...?

First the moonbat envirowacko viewpoint, as expressed by no less than Brabra Steisand herself reported on Drudge: This summer's back to back superstorms are proof positive we have entered a new period of "global warming emergency," artist/citizen Barbra Streisand warns.

Streisand is back on the scene to promote her reunion disc with Barry Gibb. As hellstorm "Rita" churned in the Gulf, Streisand sat down for a promotional interview with ABCNEWS's Diane Sawyer. "We are in a global warming emergency state, and these storms are going to become more frequent, more intense," Streisand urgently declares.

On the other hand, comes Max Mayfield of the National Hurricane Center, who unambiguously states that the current spate of severe hurricanes is part of a previously noted and still active cycle of high vs low hurricane activity. If you want to know what's going on, THIS is the guy to listen to!

Sheehan Arrested During Anti-War Protest

Cindy Sheehan, the California mother who became a leader of the anti-war movement after her son died in Iraq, was arrested Monday along with hundreds of others protesting outside the White House.

Obviously an example of the NYT's "news that's fit to print". Hey - she had to do SOMETHING to get back on the MSM front pages after the hurricanes!

The whole Sheehan thing has gone beyond outrageousness, passed absurdity, and has now entered the realm of Cartoonville.

F.H.T.E. On second thought, NO! Just T.E.

UPDATE:
This coverage in the D.C. Times seems to offer some confirmation - if - as noted in the piece - C.S. is actually crying around on the Kos site.

By a vote of 13 to 5. From the Washington Post: Voting No were:Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (Mass.), Joseph Biden (Del.), Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) , Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and Dick Durbin (Ill.)Democrats voting Yes:Sens. Patrick Leahy (Vt.) , Herb Kohl...

While most of the rest of us were working, a hundred thousand protesters armed with Ipods descended on the Mall in Washington D.C. Cindy Sheehan was there, of course, apparently complaining that everyone was paying too much attention to the...

Now this is news: Tyra Banks Proves Breasts Are Real on TV. Link safe for work, as is the photo. Er, unless you work for James Dobson or something. (And yes, I am posting this just for the Google searches....

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...
