DEVELOPING: HIDDEN TESTIMONY REIGNITES MIERS FIRES
More information on Miers - and it's not anything that is reassuring at all.

There's a lot of information on the SCOTUS confirmation on this site - it's definitely worth checking out.

H/T for this one to Laura Ingraham's site - which also has even more on the nomination.

Meanwhile, Ann Coulter also continues to be unimpressed with the Miers appointment in this post, and others.

There's a lot of other stuff out there on the problems with the nomination, ranging from Rush, to National Review Online, to Savage.

Enough already! The Chief has learned enough - what's needed at this point is a better appointment to the court. The short and long of it is that while Ms. Miers is an exemplary person in many ways - NOT for the SCOTUS. Best would be a new nomination, before Ms Miers and the President further embarrass themselves any further by pursuing this one.

It sounds as though the turnout for Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds was high in the just-closed constitutional vote in Iraq. The day was also remarkably peaceful. Iraq's deeply divided Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds voted under heavy guard Saturday to decide...

Saudi Columnist: Jihadist Salafist Ideology is Like Nazism

The Chief has been harsh in the past in condemnation of various manifistations of Islamofascism, but it's time to give some credit where credit is due.

MEMRI has a translation of Saudi columnist Muhammad bin 'Abd Al-Latif Aal Al-Sheikh published in two articles in the Saudi daily Al-Jazirah. There's nothing to disagree with from THIS Muhammed:

"In my opinion, the ideology of Al-Salafiyya Al-Jihadiyya is very similar to Nazism in terms of its causes and reasons. If the economic depression and the state of frustration that befell the world in 1930 were a cause for the spread of murderous Nazism, it may be said that the economic and cultural setback that has befallen the Arab and Muslim countries and the frustration suffered by Muslims today are also the primary cause for this murderous ideology [i.e., that of Al-Salafiyya Al-Jihadiyya].These [circumstances] allow it to surface and to find followers and supporters among the Muslims. In addition, both ideologies share hatred of the other and [the goal of] eliminating through his physical extermination ? and they have many other common denominators as well."

In a footnote it is noted that the designation Al-Salafiyya Al-Jihadiyya is a term used by Islamist terror groups to describe themselves as continuing in the footsteps of the early believers of the Prophet Muhammad's generation, and as believing in the duty to wage a modern Jihad war against infidels.

So now you know who we're dealing with.

al-Sheikh concludes:

"Therefore, I still believe that one of the primary missions of the international community today is to repeat its experience with Nazism and to deal with this dangerous barbarian culture exactly as it dealt with the Nazi culture. If this does not happen, the near future is liable to bring many [events], the consequences of which will be far more severe for all of humanity than [the consequences] of World War II."

Indeed.

There is more historical analysis and comparison between the Nazi and Islamofascist movement also. Take a look - coming out of Saudi Arabia no less!

eBay Nation and the Golden Goose

Let's all have a rousing rendition of the old Beatles song TAXMAN!

Okay, not long ago I wrote a column noting that eBay was catching up to WalMart as America's largest employer. I guess that was the kiss of death. At least, now I learn that North Dakota may require people who sell on eBay or other online "auction" sites to get an auctioneer's license.

What a piece of crapola! Read the whole article. Even if it's from the Alliance designated enemy Glenn, it's well worth checking out, since experience teaches that any method one politician figurees out toe increase the take, will rapidly act like a virulent virus and spread to lots of others always on the lookout for an excuse to take a more of our money.

If North Dakota swallows this, it's sure evidence that the weather up there has caused massive brain freeze in the state governmen up there.

I'm a big Greg Latza fan. A fan of Blue Stars, I guess. Anywho, I thought this picture represented South Dakota quite well: Is there anything better than a SD sunrise?...
