Dems Plan to Force Change in Iraq Policy WASHINGTON (AP) – Emboldened by their congressional election triumph and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld’s resignation, Democrats say they will use their new clout to force a change in Iraq policy and demand that President Bush start bringing troops home. Iraq President Says Democrats Reassuring BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) – President Jalal Talabani said Thursday that he had been assured by Democrat congressional

I suppose it would be really cheap to mention that Angelina Jolie is in this week’s installment, right? “Yes, it is intolerable!”

And I revel in the fact that Europe’s national language will soon be Arabic. (I really don’t. This is called sarcasm.) Do they really believe that when Democrats take over, the West will cease facing an existential threat in the form of Islamofascism or Islamism (depending on the word of the moment)? Or will they gloat all they way to the guillotine of their own making? “There is less White

By popular demand: Wait, I thought Rove was teh eeevil genius? Republicans lost because they lost some of the hawkish Dems and a bunch of the libertarians.  Social cons are often every bit as nannystatish and moralistic as leftists—though for the most part, they have the good graces not to try to settle everything through the courts. Had the MSM been even modestly disinterested over the last several years, Repubs

A few months ago, I dusted off the old Rickenbacher and started noodling and then playing, after 10 years. Lately, I’ve been spending evenings with Brendan and his musical pals, now that he’s gotten over his rap phase, and I’ve turned them all onto Teenage Fanclub.  Sometimes I make my comments and posts between songs.  I’ve been able to turn them onto this kind of music, with its multiple references

certain “moderate voices” are urging me to cease my criticism of the media coverage of Mother Sheehan and the duncities of John Kerry.  Perhaps, these same voices soon will say, it’s time to shut down the Plamegate investigation, in the interest of comity. I’m just guessing. Now that the Dems are in control, it will suddenly be discovered that the war in Iraq is going much better than thought (now

The Dems, nominally, now have a majority in both houses.  They have never had a majority since the internet started being used by a significant number of people.  They will be under the scrutiny of millions who are able to respond instantly.  I wonder if they’re ready?

I don’t get it, what happened on Tuesday? Shouldn’t Bushco have easily won the election? According to the moonbats and koskrazies, in 2000 while still just the governor of Texas, Bush was able to steal the Presidential election, then just months into his term he was able to pull off the greatest conspiracy ever and he did it all on live TV with millions of people watching. This made stealing

Ed at Captain’s Quarters ruminates on a new direction for the GOP. We need to have our ideas and our ideals prevail, and stop thinking in Beltway terms about how to gain power. Tom DeLay and his K Street Project should have taught us that lesson; power is a means, not an end, and sublimating the ideals of limited and clean government in order to gain more power means you

Via the Boston Globe, the current predicament of Rachel Ehrenfeld, Director of the American Center for Democracy and author of Funding Evil: How Terrorism is Financed and How to Stop It, a book exposing the role of a wealthy Saud in funding Al Qaeda. (No link to Amazon as you’ll soon understand.) AN IMPORTANT question will be argued tomorrow before the federal Court of Appeals in Manhattan: should American journalists
