A few hours earlier, Mr Armstrong had been declaiming the war in Iraq in forceful tones in front of the nation’s media. Now, he appears to have undergone a quasi-religious conversion. But you can’t blame him. This, it seems, is quite simply the Condi effect.
However much people might dislike the thought of Condoleezza Rice, 51, one of the key architects of the Iraq war, defender of Guantanamo Bay and staunch ally of George Bush, it seems that they cannot help but be won over by the reality.
I don’t know if she can win an election, but as SecState, so far, she seems to be a hit overseas.
When the National Review is pointing this stuff out, you know that the elephants are in trouble. I hope they can get their act together, because the thought of the donkeys being in charge, given their recent (and not-so-recent) behavior is (still) even more frightening. It’s depressing, really.
Insert both feet. Do they really think that this is going to help their cause? I think that this event is going to guarantee a harsher immigration bill.
I heard an interview with Morgan Spurlock on NPR when his crdocumentary on McDonald’s came out, and thought him a fool as a result. The basis of the movie (as I understand it, based on the interview–I haven’t actually seen it) was that fast food was bad for you. He apparently, and admittedly demonstrated this by ordering the worst possible things from the McDonalds menu for weeks on end, and foregoing exercise. I leave the illogic of his thesis, and means of proving it, to the reader.
Now we find out that he’s been giving insulting and obscene speeches to high-school students, including making fun of the special ed students. His “apology” is pathetic, as many of his commenters note.
“Baghdad Jim” McDermott has been ordered by a federal court of appeals to finally, after a decade, pay up:
In a 2-1 opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that McDermott violated the rights of House Majority Leader John Boehner, who was heard on the 1996 call involving former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
The court ordered McDermott to pay Boehner more than $700,000 for leaking the taped conversation. The figure includes $60,000 in damages and more than $600,000 in legal costs.
It’s always nice to see a little justice come from all the Democrat dirty tricks of the nineties, even if much of the Clinton corruption and criminality went unhindered.

One wonders if such things are just coincidence, or copycat deaths. Two Reagan administration officials have died in as many days. First, Lyn Nofziger yesterday, and today (according to Fox News–no link yet) Cap Weinberger, one of the architects of the downfall of the Soviet Union. RIP in both cases.
Bloggers would be entitled to the same exemption from the campaign finance law that newspapers and other traditional forms of media receive.
“There will be no second class citizens among members of the media,” Toner said.
I fearlessly predict that McCain and Feingold, and some “members of the media,” who do in fact think of the unannointed as “second-class citizens,” and don’t want to give up their monopoly on political speech, will be up in arms to get new legislation to end this “loophole.”
