I've never understood how you couldn't love Joe Paterno. Say what you will about the man -- he's too old, he's too this, too that -- but the man represents many of the things that are right with college football....

Egypt taking charge of Palestinian Authority

According to this report, Egypt is calling the tune that the Palestinians are dancing to these days. Particularly interesting is the fact that Paleswinian Authority officials themselves are describing the virtual change of management.

One is tempted to think that this might be an improvement - it's hard to imagine things getting worse - BUT, there are some negatives.

Egypt has had a strong element supporting and encouraging Islamofascist Jihadistan which is evident from the Egyptian government dominated press, radical academics and scowlers from al-Azhar University, to say nothing of being the birthplace and a stronghold of the militantly Islamofascist Muslim Brotherhood.

If the Chief was Israeli, he would DEFINITELY continue to keep the powder dry, and be sure to have plenty of it.

Petition for the Withdrawal of the Nomination of Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court

David Frum at National Review Online has a petition up calling for the withdrawel of Harriet Miers' nomination for SCOTUS:

WE ARE REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES who supported the election of George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. Today, we respectfully urge that the nomination of Harriet Miers to the United States Supreme Court be withdrawn.

The next justice of the Supreme Court should be a person of clear, consistent, and unashamed conservative judicial philosophy.

The next justice should be a person of unquestioned personal and political independence.

The next justice should be someone who has demonstrated a deep engagement in the constitutional issues that regularly come before the Supreme Court ? and an appreciation of the originalist perspective on those issues.

The next justice should be a person of the highest standard of intellectual and legal excellence.

For all Harriet Miers? many fine qualities and genuine achievements, we the undersigned believe that she is not that person. An attempt to push her nomination through the Senate will only split the Republican party, damage the Bush presidency, and cast doubts upon the Court itself.

Sometimes Americans elect Republican presidents, sometimes we elect Democratic presidents. Whatever the differences between the parties, surely we can at least agree on this: Each party owes America its best. There is a wide range of truly outstanding legal talents who share the president?s judicial philosophy. We believe that on second thought President Bush can do better ? for conservatism, for the Supreme Court, for America.

If you are also underwhelmed by this appointment, go take a look at it and sign in to make your feelings known. It couldn't hurt to at least reinforce the message to the Pres. and his staffers.
