Confederate Yankee has some thoughts on the latest pathetic gigglefest of the eternal adolescents. It isn’t until the end of the fourth paragraph that we see the note: It is unclear if Bush is in the process of responding to that message or wrote it himself. Focus on that line. I downloaded the photo and resized it to 800 pixels wide by 458 pixels tall. It is very clear that the comment “I think I may need a bathroom break?”... Read more
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him; 34 and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is destined to be the rise and the fall of many in Israel, and a sign that is spoken against 35 (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.” The Gospel According to Luke, Chapter 2 Today’s gospel reading at Mass...

And Musing Minds caught it: Bill O’Reilly asked Condi Rice if she was hurt by Bush haters calling her a shill. She said: “Why would I worry about that? The fact of the matter is, Bill, I’ve been black all my life, nobody needs to tell me how to be black.” Heh. MM has more – go check it out! Read more
The eternal adolescents – stuck in stupefying immaturity – are making a big deal out of the fact that President Bush discreetly wrote a note to Condi Rice wondering if a bathroom break was possible. Ohhhh, Lordy! The president pees! Giggle! Snort! What a moron! Bill Clinton never had to pee! Hillary never has to find a bathroom! Ted Kennedy never had to pee! He mighta gone around without pants, but he never had to pee! If Al Gore was... Read more
Jonah Goldberg has a particulary good essay up at National Review Online. Particularly good because more often than not he hits a double, but this one might be a home run! (I’m sorry but since Judge Roberts began with the baseball metaphors, I’m hooked…I’m like Rafe Palmiero on ‘roids!) Anyhow, in this essay Jonah points out, once and for all, that quite contrary to all we are told in the media and by the folks on the left, America was... Read more
Sen. Hillary Clinton wants a Katrina Commission to look into everything that went wrong. Her bid to form such a commission has been defeated, and that’s too bad. I wanted it, and I hope Sen. Clinton continues to push for it, for several reasons. Aside from not wanting to have to listen to this woman bray, down the road, as she is campaigning for the White House that she – and she alone – was “trying to get to the... Read more
Heartkeeper Commonroom directed me to this story on Lucianne.com, but for those of us who have never lived through an event that has cost us our homes and livelihoods, it is good to read the story, and see what it is like for the victims of a hurricane evacuation, after the press has written its last sensationalistic headline and moved on to something else. Hurricane Victims Pile Up Credit Card Debt Jerry and Deborah Alciatore fled New Orleans with nothing... Read more
Just sent me an email about the Senate Judiciary Committees examination of John Roberts: “They’re making quite the balls of it, aren’t they? Were I part of this crew, I’d end this farce and call a general meeting at the pub in 15 minutes to hoist a few pints and try to forget. These men, and this women, are making desperate fools of themselves, and by extension their senatorial associates.” Why yes, Auntie, I think you’ve nailed it. “And does... Read more
Regular readers know that my son Buster is many things – personable, thoughtful, funny, chop-bustery, musical, insightful and, at times, surprisingly deep. He swims. He boxes. He throws the shot-put. He lifts weights. He is a brawny, deep-voiced 6ft tall, 200lb teddy bear. He is also, in terms of his immune system, one of the frailest human beings on the planet, who catches everything that comes his way. No germ can cross his path without leaving its mark…and school has... Read more
Northside Journal News has a timeline that – finally – focuses keenly on Governor Kathleen Blanco and her absolute refusal to allow the Federal Government into New Orleans either after Katrina hit, or even after the levees broke. On the afternoon of August 29, in downtown New Orleans and the French Quarter, the brunt of the high winds had passed. Residents began to peek out and discovered the city was mostly intact. There was wind damage, and some water in... Read more
