Dems who vote "no" on a procedural motions to inflate their ratio of votes against the party line.

How long do they think this little trick could work before the voters noticed?

This story gets my nomination: http://www.baltimore...

In addition to believing that "within the lifetimes of his two cats" all of Gore's dire predictions of global warming are going to come true, and many of the Red areas of the country will be swamped or left barren, he also sees that this great upheaveal will be the salvation of the Democrats!

Putting aside the fact that the Earth has already seen an increase in ocean heights that equals what Gore is predicting, and we haven't seen even an appreciable area of a beach go under yet alone a whole coastal area, this idiot thinks that if you drown all the God fearing Republicans or let them die from dehydration, that all will be well with the country. The USA will become a Liberal Utopian environment where he can do all the drugs he wants, abortion will never be challenged, and the environment will always get the respect it deserves. He seems to completely overlook the fact that if you wipe out the folks who are generating the revenues to make all this happen... it ain't going to happen.

It's almost sad that his view of the coming wrath of global warming is so delusional. How fun would it be to watch him try to round up all his forest fairies and get them to stop hitting the bong and get some work done before the utopian society collapses under the weight of it''s own excesses.

Some days, all the op-eds are predictable and boring, but today is an exception. If you want to read three terrific, thought-provoking articles, I suggest the following.

1. Kissinger's analysis of Putin in Time magazine. I don't trust Putin, and I suspect he manipulates Iran indirectly. But Kissinger disagrees, and gives solid reasons. I may actually have to change my mind here.
2. George Will on McDonald's. I love the final observation where Will notes that both Ray Kroc and Walt Disney, founder of two iconic American corporations, were born close to each other, not long apart, and served in the same Red Cross outfit in WWI. Something in the water, perhaps?
3. Jay Lefkowitz in Commentary, telling the behind-the-scenes story of how Bush's stem cell policy developed. A must read for the media, and a good story on how policy really develops.

On a warmer note, Dave Lindorff, has out done himself with a commentary published in the Baltimore Chronicle and Sentinel. The title?

"Global Warming Will  Save America from the Right...Eventually".

Rather catchy, dont you think? What he is saying is that the Red states will become inundated or drought stricken and uninhabitable. Not considering that we may move to the enlightened neighborhoods, (where he resides, I assume), he instead writes, bold is mine...

"There will be much work to be done to help the earth and its residents—human and non-human—survive this man-made catastrophe, and we can’t have these future refugee troglodytes, should their personal disasters still fail to make them recognize reality, mucking things up again.

It should be considered acceptable, in this stifling new world, to say, “Shut up. We told you this would happen.”

Now is this the party that preaches tolerance...or what?

I guess this is licnese to tell SF and LA, after the next earth quake, "Shut up. We told you this would happen." Is this right Dave?

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

I think the media will try to spin this a few ways:

 1. Bhutto was pro-democracy, therefore any blow to democracy is a blow to Bush and his attempt at democracy in the Muslim world, vote for Hillary if you don't want this to happen.

2. Bush is secretly pleased with the death of Bhutto because he likes Musharraf more and wants more crackdowns on extremists everywhere which Mushy is willing to do- vote for Hillary if you don't like these types of "secret" alliances.

With no disrespect intended to the dead, I blogged here months ago that Bhutto was not only dumb as a post but that she was tossing what would amount to nuclear bombs on a dynamite of Pakistan.

She is completely responsible for the dead in Pakistan in her return as much as those she took with her today. That is the plain reality.

Now while idiots like the McGlaughlin group WERE SAYING JUST LAST WEEK THAT Musharrif was a bad guy for clamping down........one sees why he clamped down as that nation is a cesspool of Russian sponsored Islamocommunist terrorists.

For the record, al Qaeda did this as both bin Laden and Zawahiri intend to get the Pakistan nuclear arsenal "to use on the west" as the Russians mandated that their bombs are not to be used on America ........as all uranium is able to be traced.

All this has done is made Pakistan a worse situation for America BY ANOTHER LIBERAL WOMAN meddling in politics, you can see the mirror in Hillary, Obama and Edwards as they are all liberal females as much as Huckabee and Ron Paul are too.

My concern if for the United States and for our policy Musharrif must be kept alive and in power and the McGlaughlin group can apologize for being the morons they are again.

"Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto dies at hospital after being shot in neck and chest moments before homicide bombing at Rawalpindi campaign rally." - Fox News.com

Does it drive anyone else a little nuts that Fox News uses "homicide bombing" to describe "suicide bombing"? A homicide bombing is just a bombing. A suicide bombing is when the bomber takes his own life in the process. It sounds like they don't know what they're talking about every time I hear it.

Other than that, Fox News is great.

At least Fred gets it... which is a lot more than many

This is an international war we are engaged in," he emphasized. "Bhutto's assassination is not a law enforcement matter. This is a global conflict, and al-Qaida wants to bring Western civilization to its knees."
