Piggy backing on Jason's post regarding what's in Karl Rove's garage, I'd like to note a few things I found in Ken Blanchard's garage the other day: a hammer a measuring tape Jimmy Hoffa an oil stain Zuzu's petals a...

The moonbats have been flapping their leathery wings all day long about the "staged" teleconference with US soldiers in Tikrit. Y'know, because "staged" events -- phony red meat passion plays for the howling right-wing dogs -- are generally pulled together...

Political scientists, like myself and my esteemed colleague Dr. Schaff, tend to chuckle sometimes when we read that the Sunnis oppose the constitution while the Kurds faver it. Groups as large as the Sunni and Kurdish populations of Iraq are...

'The Great Game' Returns

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice completed her visit to Central Asia and Afghanistan last week. This is a tough neighborhood, which plays a key role in the forthcoming global game between the West and the rest.

The U.S. has growing geopolitical competition in the region from Russia, China and the global Islamist movement. Ms. Rice is now playing the 21st Century version of the "Great Game" in which, 100 years ago, the British Empire and Czarist Russia competed over the heartland of Eurasia.

What a phrase can evoke - "The Great Game" - recalling the not always glorious days of Kipling and Victoria:

When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, And the women come out to cut up what remains, Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains An' go to your Gawd like a soldier. Go, go, go like a soldier?So-oldier of the Queen!

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

FINAL VOTE RESULTS FOR ROLL CALL 519

Stephanie Herseth claims to be some sort of moderate "blue dog" Democrat. The Chief has NEVER been very impressed with these claims. She's essentially a libDonk, and except for some narrowly select issues to fool us, she will trend that way pretty consistantly in most cases.

So, here comes the vote in the House on HR 3893, Gasoline for America?s Security Act, which is designed to ease the administrative burden on building new oil refineries. I guess the Donks don't think 20+ years without expanding our refining capacity is what will help a prospering economy keep on keeping on, since ALL of them drank the party Kool-Aid and voted against the act.

Make sense? The Donks? Why start now!

Our gal Stephanie is looking out for South Dakota, eh? Maybe she thinks that farming should go back to horses. (Oooops - that won't work either. Animal flatulence is a concern of the envirowackos as a contributor to the alleged human promoted global warming.)

This vote was taken earlier in the month. Didn't you notice the extensive coverage of Stephanie's voting performance? You didn't? Neither did I. (The enemy paper again proves itself to be the Argus-Misleader.)
