So I get up at 6 this morning to go to a meeting. Except that nobody told me that it was moved to next week. Other than that, how was my day? I'm glad you asked. I have a bit...

Lawmakers renew push to break up 9th Circuit

According to the Associated Press, Republicans in Congress are renewing their push to break up the San Francisco-based Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals.

This would be a step in the right direction. The 9th Circuit Jerk-it Court of Appeals Schlemiels is reversed more often than any other Federal circuit, and has the largest assortement of of moonbat judges in the country. Anything that would dilute this mess would be an improvement.

This has been making the e-mail rounds up here on the northern plains this week, as a sort of response to some of the rhetoric and political posturing connected with the hurricanes. It's worth passing along - take it for what it's worth:

For those of you who are not aware, North Dakota and southwestern Montana got hit with their first blizzardof the season a couple of weeks ago. The following text is from county emergency manager out in the western part of North Dakota state after the storm.

WEATHER BULLETIN

Up here in the Northern Plains we just recovered from a Historic event --- may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a historic blizzard of up to 24" inches of snow and winds to 50 MPH that broke trees in half, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed all roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.

George Bush did not come....FEMA staged nothing....No one howled for the government...No one even uttered an expletive on TV...Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.....No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House....No news anchors moved in.

We just melted snow for water, sent out caravans to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars, fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Aladdin lamps and put on an extra layer of clothes.

Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen this early...we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.

Everybody is fine.

Why the differences? Admittedly, after a blizzard your house is (usually) still standing (if the weight of snow doesn't collapse the roof).

Another critical difference that the Chief has noted is that the presence of cold harsh winters tends to filter out a lot of riff-raff! I know, some eastern states get lots of snow - but generally not with the extreme cold that we have out here on the northern plains. This combination does seem to move winter into a whole new dimension.

Iran Leader Calls for Israel's Destruction

Here's the head cheese of the Islamofascist axis-of-evil showing his true colors, which are the same ones that went out of fashion in das Reich in 1945.

Note the broken sphere with US colors in the corner!
Israel isn't the only target of their plans!

Iran's hard-line president called for Israel to be "wiped off the map" and said a new wave of Palestinian attacks will destroy the Jewish state, state-run media reported Wednesday. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also denounced attempts to recognize Israel or normalize relations with it.

In this context, it's well worth remembering that this guy was one of the "student leaders" that engineered the takeover of the US Embassy in the late 70's, and the whole hostage thing that ended up doing in the Carter administration. (It's an ill wind that blows no good!)

"There is no doubt that the new wave (of attacks) in Palestine will wipe off this stigma (Israel) from the face of the Islamic world," Ahmadinejad told students Wednesday during a Tehran conference called "The World without Zionism."

Sheesh! Not only are they talking the talk, and walking the walk, they're organizing international conferences to further organize their plans for ethnic cleansing and genocide. Meanwhile, the UN dis-Organization continues to stick its collective head in the sand, and the MSM largely bends over and assumes the positon when the Mullahs walk by.

As far as the Chief is concerned, the only words of reply should be , "Onward Christian Soldiers", and DEUS VULT!
