That is if they are Republicans. Unlike their position on Bill Clinotn?s allege perjury charges, the Democrats are convinced Tom Delay is guilty simply based on indictments?not convictions. The South Dakota Democrat exemplifies this as they go after John Thune...

REMEMBER THE COLE!

Being a beached sailorman, the Chief was particularly struck by the attack on the USS Cole (DDG-67). Having served on an earlier version of that ship type (USS Sellers, DDG-11) I found it all too easy to relate to what happened to that ship and her sailors. The pusillanimous response of the Bubba administration to the Cole attack, as well as the incompetence of their "responses" to earlier Islamofascist attacks deserves to be remembered as one of the more shameful series of events in American history.

Michelle Malkin has a very good note of remembrance via the above link - check it out and remember a bit of why we are fighting a war against Islamofascism.

Also, and H/T to her for also linking to this remembrance on the Stars and Stripes nilitary newspaper web site. The Chief HIGHLY recommends this one on this day - read it and remember.

Kristol isn't happy. I'M DISAPPOINTED, depressed and demoralized. I'm disappointed because I expected President Bush to nominate someone with a visible and distinguished constitutionalist track record--someone like Maura Corrigan, Alice Batchelder, Edith Jones, Priscilla Owen, or Janice Rogers Brown--to say...

GF&P rebuts lion season foe

The SD Dept. of Game, Fish, & Parks recently ruled against appeals from several envirowacko groups to stop the planned mountain lion hunting season. The Chief always wonders why groups like the CALIFORNIA Mountain Lion Foundation get exercised about South Dakota's hunting season, and apparently so do some members of the GF&P Commission.

The loudest voice crying out against the state mountain lion season represents a hatred for hunting that is more suited to California than South Dakota, a state Game, Fish & Parks Department spokesman said Tuesday. George Vandel, assistant Wildlife Division director for GF&P in Pierre, said the California-based Mountain Lion Foundation, which sued unsuccessfully to stop the lion season, has attacked the season simply because the group opposes hunting. Vandel said the foundation failed in court and in its public statements to substantiate claims that the season was a threat to the overall lion population.

It's always nice to see someone call a spade a spade.

Birmingham Hit by 2nd Twister in Year!

This is very unusual. First of all - about 80% of the tornadoes in the world occur in North America (mostly in the US and Canada). MOST of the rest of them are in China. Euro-twisters are quite rare, and it's even wierder for the same location to have two within a short period.

Here on the Northern Plains they are not that unusual, although of course they are not exactly welcomed, although they can give a good adrenaline rush when they do show up.

H/T to JWR on this bit of information:

On this day in 1915, former President Theodore Roosevelt criticized the concept of "hyphenated Americanism," referring to U.S. citizens who identified themselves by dual nationalities.

Bully for T.R. We STILL haven't figured this out very well.

ZenPundit offers a great analysis on Harriet Miers. Excerpt:Aside from a reputation of being personable, hardworking and gracious, that's as much as I can say in favor of Ms. Miers. It was not a nomination worthy of the ridiculous abuse...
