Good job to the men and women in Houston who made this happen. Hopefully, everything will proceed as normal, and the dinner will be its usual success.

Trash This Guy (De Magno Opere)

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 21:25:00 GMT

Quiz time: who said the following? I furthermore believe that having been a POW is no special qualification for being President of the United States. The two jobs are not the same, and POW experience is not, in my opinion, something I would look for in a presidential candidate. Wesley Clark? Bob "My Family's Friends With the Freakin' Prezident" Schieffer? Try Dr. Philip Butler. Former...

Unlike the hysterics we have seen from John McCain, Joe Biden, Wes Clark, Richard Holbrooke and the Beltway foreign policy Establishment, Ed Kilgore points us to Sam Nunn making some sense: [C]learly the United States need to pause, look and listen before we rush into making Georgia and Ukraine part of NATO. If we're going to do that, we have to understand that this is a military commitment....

Under The Bus (Red State)

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 04:16:51 GMT

So much for Wesley Clark attending the Democratic National Convention; Barack Obama basically told him that he was uninvited. And I think that we all know why. John Edwards humiliated his wife, his children, his supporters and the Democratic Party in general thanks to a whole lot of personal shenanigans and is therefore not wanted in Denver when convention time rolls around. But in a...
