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...

I've got the laptop right here with me on the couch, but I seem much more satisfied just sitting on my ass and watching the Braves (gag me) spank the Astros tonight. It's cool outside. It's October. There's baseball on...

Have you seen that commercial where the guy is so mired in his day-to-day routine that he has left permanent footprints on the bathroom floor, handprints on the wall at work, tracks in his office carpet at work, and the...

Iranian militants in power stir fears

The rise of militants to power positions in Iran is raising new worries about Iranian military forces' deploying new weapons that threaten oil supplies or future long-range nuclear or chemical missile strikes.

Military specialists say the Islamist regime in Tehran has not invested heavily in the past decade in new tanks, armored vehicles or warplanes, but instead focused defense spending on "asymmetric" warfare capabilities. These include Iran's covert nuclear program and new Shahab-3 and older Scud missiles that could deliver nuclear, chemical and biological weapons hundreds of miles away.

So why would anyone be surprised by this? Islamofascist jihadi states will act like...Islamofascist jihadi states. That's what they do.

Just like the Nazi plan was written in Mein Kampf, the ideological framework of the Islamofascist jihad is written in THEIR book - The Koran.

Happy Columbus Day. Here's an Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. piece on Columbus that was published in 1992, the 500th anniversary of Columbus's arrival in the new world. As I recall, a longer version of this appeared in the Atlantic Monthly in...

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 Today, we respectfully urge that the nomination of Harriet Miers to the United States Supreme Court be withdrawn.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.

Yesterday I made the argument that Laura Bush moved to the left as she used the race card to attack those conservatives who have spoken out about the lack of credentials Harriet Miers possesses to be nominated to the highest...

Dutch unveil the toughest face in Europe with a ban on the burka

The Netherlands is likely to become the first country in Europe to ban the burka, under government proposals that would bring in some of the toughest curbs on Muslim clothing in the world. The country?s hardline Integration Minister, Rita Verdonk, known as the Iron Lady for her series of tough anti-immigration measures, told Parliament that she was going to investigate where and when the burka should be banned.

Amazing! For years the Netherlands had one of the most warm fuzzy moonbat attitudes towards this stuff that could be found in Western Europe. A number of events involving Islamofascist terrorism has finally started to wake them up.

The US should be so lucky that the administration would get so concerned about our border and immigration problems!
