A legal colleague writes on Harriet Miers

An interesting posting from Austin Bay - a very positive missive from a Dallas attorney who knows / has workd with Ms Miers. A bit more information as grist for the mill.

He essentially says about the same thing that the Pres. did about her - again based on personal experience. It's still anecdotal, but there is always the factor of "By the words of two or three witnesses shall all things be established."

For what it's worth...

This has been sitting on my desk for a few days now, buried under my books. Excerpt from the New York Times:IF new construction is the cardinal symptom of municipal economic health, Omaha has to be in the pink of...

Islamic Terrorism in Oklahoma Likely

A comprehensive sitrep from the Jawa Report on the Oklahoma football bomber incident that was first noted here. The more that comes out, the more it looks like the poor schmuck electrical engineering student got himelf roped into the Islamofascist trip.

Beware of geeks bearing gifts. (Sorry - I couldn't help it!)

H/T to Ryne McClaren for this one.

The kids over at Daily Kos are wondering about Harriet Miers' sexual orientation:She sure seems like a big ol' Texas lesbian to me. And he did pick a gay guy for Chief Justice....

Happy St. Francis Day. This graduate of St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School has fond memories of October 4, as students we'd spend that day doing nothing but playing games. One thing we'd do is attach a note to a...

From Pat Buchanan: Handed a once-in-a-generation opportunity to return the Supreme Court to constitutionalism, George W. Bush passed over a dozen of the finest jurists of his day ? to name his personal lawyer. In a decision deeply disheartening to...

Desperate Pakistanis Await Earthquake Aid

The death toll of this earthquake is still rising as officials keep digging out collapsed buildings, and still haven't surveyed countryside areas that were also hit hard.

Desperate Pakistanis huddled against the cold and some looted food stores Monday because aid still had not reached remote areas of Kashmir, where a devastating earthquake flattened villages, cut off power and water, and killed tens of thousands. Officials predict the death toll, now estimated at between 20,000 and 30,000, will climb because of exposure and disease. With winter just six weeks away, the United Nations has said 2.5 million people near the Pakistan-India border need shelter.

Anyone notice how the Islamofascists that were quick to label the gulf coast hurricanes as a sign of Allah's negative judgement are now in a state of deafening silence? (One can only hope that Pat Robertson doesn't embarrass himelf again.)

Another reminder that the world is NOT a place where one's security can be assumed. Anyplace, anytime, the whole show can come crashing down - the only question is how prepared (materially, physically, and spiritually) you are when TSHTF.

Remember in ancient days pre-Katrina when Homeland Security had the temerity to suggest that a 72-hour emergency kit was a great idea? And the H.S. Secretary was ridiculed by much of the MSM for saying so? EVERYWHERE has some form of potential disaster: earthquakes, hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes, tsunamis, whatever....To prepare, or not to prepare...your call, you bet your life.

"LEARNING IS NOT COMPULSORY. BUT THEN AGAIN, NEITHER IS SURVIVAL."
- W, Edward Deming

See you not the rush of wind and rain?
See you not the oaks lash each other?
See you not the ocean scourging the shore?
See you not the truth portending?
See you not the sun hurtling the sky?
See you not that the stars have fallen?
Have you no belief in God, foolish man?
See you not your world is ending?
- ancient Celtic song

Based on his two Supreme Court appointments and his inability to control spending, I have started a new category titled Bush screw ups with my last posts....
