Been on vacation for the past 10 days. Now I come back, and look at how the fecal matter has connected with the rotary air impellers. (Translation: "how the $h!t has hit the fan".)
1) Harry Reid, the guy who was all over the MSM when the Abramoff story broke turns out to be one of the better examples of political corruption after all. How many different "questionable" items have come to light now about his political finances? 10? 12? I've lost count.
2) Treason has become punishable by 2 1/2 years in prison. I've seen J-walkers get more time than Lynne Stewart will serve. And the wench is actually going to appeal her sentence to try to get her law-license back. So to all who say that terrorism has to be handled by the criminal-justice system rather than the military system, I give you Lynne Stewart. Screw that: just line the scumbags up against a wall, tie electrodes to their privates, and throw the switch. Then when you have drained then of all the information they have, shoot them behind the ear and bury them in unmarked graves. Because the criminal-justice system is clearly not designed to deal with terrorists.
3) It turns out that Bush was right again... when he named the Axis of Evil, he was right on the money. The biggest threats to Democracy in 2002 were indeed Iraq, Iran and North Korea.
For those who argue that Bush invaded the "wrong country at the wrong time", and that by eliminating the Hussein regime we "empowered" Iran, I say BS. If we had instead invaded Iran and eliminated the Iranian Mullocracy, those same people would be arguing that Saddam was the real threat, and we had empowered Iraq. And if we had instead invaded North Korea, people would have argued that we were ignoring the "real" threats of Iran and Iraq and "empowering" South Korea. Well guess what: no matter what we had done, a power vacuum would have developed, and SOMEONE would have stepped up to fill that vacuum just as Ahmadinejad has done in Iran. That is the nature of power... whoever is able to do so grabs as much as he is able, and Ahmadinejad has just been the most vocal grabber to date in the Middle East, and Kim Jong Il has been the power-grabbing guy in Asia. It could just as easily have been any other leader. And so the argument that "Bush's ineptness and lack of forward-thinking destabilized the region" is pure BS. The region is perpetually unstable, power-grabs are the norm, and the only way to deal with them is to have the stronger military and the cojones to use it. Ahmadinejad and Jong Il are betting that the American people don't have the cojones. And if the Dems win Congress, they'll be right.
4) The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit several new highs, the unemployment rate hit new lows, and the economy is chugging along quite comfortably. The media has completely ignored this. They have played up the national debt, but they've ignored every other economic indicator in existence. Again. Or is that "still"?
5) The MSM has played up the Foley-Page scandal, but has essentially ignored the Harry Reid scandals (plural). They have called for everyone and their best friend who had any connection to Foley in the past 20 years to be strung up by their testicles. This is the same MSM that has repeatedly defended Clinton fo having sex with an underage intern in the Oval Office.
This is also the same MSM that has largly ignored the fact that former Rep. Gerry Studds (D-MA) who died this weekend was a child molestor who actually had sex with several Pages while in office (as opposed to just e-mailing and IMing them about sex). They lionized him as a gay-rights activist who was Congress' first openly gay member, but ignored the fact that he lured underage Congressional Pages into having sex with him.
Yeah, I'm back and better than ever... and more pissed off at the stupidity and hypocracy of the left than ever before.
Alright, libs... come and get some.

ex,
Who needs arguments when observations tell the story?
Clarification/Follow-up by Itsdb on 10/17/06 2:40 pm:
They ARE important stories tom...
Reid to reimburse campaign for donations
Reid to amend ethics reports
In other words, 'my bad.' After all, he went BEYOND ETHICS REQUIREMENTS, DISARMS GOP SMEAR CAMPAIGN. Now that's news isn't it?

Hello again, El.
Just fine, thanks. Good Yentiff (or the appropriate good if I'm off a good or two).
It gives me no thrill to see Nancy Pelosi as Speaker. They still AIN'T gonna legalize pot. But, I'll settle for restoring the checks and balances.
The recent law allowing tribunals and outlawing habeas corpus will be overturned, as well it should be. Didn't his conservative Supreme Court already tell him once? The Dems'll do it. Hopefully, it'll restore a little bit of our reputation as the standard bearer of all that's good and right in the world.
They're certainly not gonna rob me more than the Republicans are. Frankly, I don't care who they give it to, the rich or the poor. The point is, they're taking it from me.
