More on the possible political artistry involved in posing for a mug shot. Ace had more along these lines last night....

SDP has pointed out that Chad Schuldt, the Clear Cut Kidder, blamed Republicans for the anti-Herseth letter campaign of Kurt Woodward, state coordinator for an organization called Progressive Democrats of America. Here is Schuldt?s false accusation:My theory? Someone in the...

Body chipped from glacier likely a WWII airman

The only problem the Chief has with this is NOT the factual circumstances of the story itself, but rather with the journalistic caution.

"...Likely a WWII Airman."

Well now. This is hard. Human remains were found in a cake of ice. 13000 ft up the mountainside. Wearing WWII Army uniform, flight suit, and parachute. Had obviously been up there for some period of time. NOW - what are the possibilities. WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet-nam era, or Civilian?

Hmmmmmm? (Think, think!) A WWII outfit? Well now, we can say he was
"...Likely a WWII Airman." Phew! Anything to avoid coming to a simple conclusion based on clear factual evidence, which might set a bad journalistic precedent for the rest of the media.

In fairness, the DC Times is generally a cut above the rest of the MSM - but this is NOT one of their higher moments - maybe that's why it struck my attention.

I still can't get last night's NLCS game out of my mind. Albert Pujols inflicted more damage on the Houston baseball psyche than the law ought to allow. The sound of that stadium when that bomb he hit ricocheted off...

Denise Ross of the Rapid City Journal did an interview with Steve Hildebrand which is posted on Mt. Blogmore. As many suspected, we now know that Theron McChesney of ThuneWatch is an employee of Steve Hildebrand, who is paid by...

Critics of Professor Schaff and myself have been making a rather amazing argument: that a college professor can be forced to choose between his job and the free expression of his political opinions, should his colleagues or the administration conclude...

Ann Coulter Continues Criticism of Choice

Ann Coulter is no stranger to well delivered (and well deserved) invective, and she continues her barrage of criticism of the Harriet Miers appointment to SCOTUS in her inimitable style.

She goes beyond this, to note a more serious problem than the appointment itself:

The sickness of what liberals have done to America is that so many citizens ? even conservative citizens ? seem to believe the job of a Supreme Court justice entails nothing more than "voting" on public policy issues. The White House considers it relevant to tell us Miers' religious beliefs, her hobbies, her hopes and dreams. She's a good bowler! A stickler for detail! Great dancer! Makes her own clothes! That's nice for her, but what we're really in the market for is a constitutional scholar who can forcefully say, "No ? that's not my job." (Emphasis Added)

We've been waiting 30 years to end the lunacy of nine demigods on the Supreme Court deciding every burning social issue of the day for us, loyal subjects in a judicial theocracy. We don't want someone who will decide those issues for us ? but decide them "our" way. If we did, a White House bureaucrat with good horse sense might be just the ticket.

The super-hot button issue with both the left and the conservative side is Roe v. Wade. After commenting specifically on what is realistically describes as "the abortion holocaust" she reaches what the Chief considers as the most profound observation of all:

We've gone from a representative democracy to a (judicial) monarchy, and the most appalling thing is ? even conservatives just hope like the dickens the next king is a good one.

Indeed. We would be better served by remembering the old American Revolutionary slogan: "No King but King Jesus!"
