Except, perhaps, God bless our troops, and their Commander in Chief. And the people of Iraq. And the students in Iran who watch with great attention. And the allies still hanging in there, especially the UK and the Scots Guard.
Kurds in Nashville, and Sidney…
January 27, 2005 By
Instapundit links to this story about Kurds in NashvilleMany are thrilled to have a chance to vote in a real election without fear of reprisal. ”The ballot before had Saddam Hussein yes or no and if you put no, the bodyguard took you to the jail,” said Ali Almoumineen, 38, who left Iraq with his [...]
Yet more on Bush’s lineage and ancestry
January 27, 2005 By
Betsy Newmark, over at Betsy’s Page has even more to add to what we are learning about President Bush’s forebears. Between Catherine Armstrong’s good work, and Betsy’s it’s all getting very interesting. Betsy makes the excellent point that if the left wants to imply that one’s weaknesses are linked to lineage, then one’s strengths must [...]
A letter from Baghdad, and related items
January 27, 2005 By
From Sgt. Thomas Foreman Jr. writing from the center of the storm:Every Iraqi I talk to has hope. I’ve written several times on the power of hope, and right here is a living, breathing 24-million-strong testament to it. As long as some hope endures for the Iraqi people, my time here will not have been [...]
“CrushKerry” becomes “Ankle Biting Pundits”

Thanks to whoever nominated me…
January 27, 2005 By
How neat is this? I’ve discovered that someone, somewhere in blogland, has nominated your humble hostess for a 2005 Evangelical Blog Award, in the catagory of Best Evangelical Blog-Politics. Heh. Way cool. It’s an honor to be in the company of some of those sterling bloggers, and I look forward to checking out those I [...]
Hobbits and Ninja Wizards and Bears…oh, my!
January 27, 2005 By
Coffee with Cranky Beach brings me a 90 second Lord of the Rings that I can live with…but it’s uummmmm not your father’s LOTR. Enjoy.Speaking of short-attention-span-theatre, I’d love to find a copy of the 5 minute Hamlet…sigh…Ophelia drowning in a bucket of water, Claudius pouring wine into Gertrudes mouth as he cautions, “Gertrude, do [...]
Well…I really hope this is not true
January 27, 2005 By
But it certainly bears looking in to. I mean this internal Democrat memo, posted by Radioblogger, which I believe might be the same memo Sean Hannity tried to bring into the mainstream a couple years ago. As I recall, the reaction from the left was, “who cares what it says, the content is not important, [...]

Zarqawi is being well and truly undermined…
January 27, 2005 By
At least that seems to be the gist of things. Aside from revealing himself as the anti-democracy fire-breather he is, in his remarks following President Bush’s Inaugural speech (Bush seems to have a gift for making people reveal themselves whether they want to or not), his underlings are being hauled in quietly and efficiently. Powerline [...]
George Will saw the vapors, too!
January 27, 2005 By
I’ve written several times about my impatience with so-called “strong, feminist women” who can’t manage to look at a painting of a nude without feeling raped, or who remember that Clarence Thomas once dared to make an (admittedly lame) adult “joke” to Anita Hill and come all over faint, or who hear a challenge to [...]
Washington Staters deserve a re-vote
January 27, 2005 By
I wouldn’t normally support a “re-vote” but more and more it looks like the Gubernatorial election in Washington needs re-doing. And the Democrats should endorse it, since – you know – they hate disenfranchising voters, and all. Stefan Sharkansky is making a well-deserved name for himself (and is become a hero to the blogging community) [...]
You say you want a revolution?

Oh, Look! Bush is Irish, too! But of course, BAD Irish.
January 27, 2005 By
Egad, but it’s tiring sometimes, to watch the press play, “how many ways can we hate and villify Bush?” Now, it seems, President Bush is an Irishman, after all, but he’s descended from the very worst Irishmen ever to live. Of COURSE. So says this incredibly stupid article, one of the stupidest I have ever [...]
The Irish in America: Still making hay in every way
January 25, 2005 By
Michael Ledeen Rides Sy Hersch’s Infinate Loop Over at NRO, Michael Ledeen has, with the help of an eagle-eyed reader (do we love the internet? Yes, we do!) brought into clear focus the infinite loopiness of Seymour Hersch’s latest “factual expose.” Ledeen wonders if Hersch is using a template. I think Ledeen is off track, [...]

As resolute as a Sherman Tank, and just as subtle
January 24, 2005 By
That would be Hillary Clinton who is transparently, and deeply, campaigning to be the Democratic nominee for President in 2008. Let’s see, today we read that the NY Times will be doing a reliably gushing piece on Hillary where this devotee of all abortion rights, including partial birth abortion, is proposing new “language” about abortion [...]
