This is probably the last time in my lifetime that champagne corks will be flying over the same political event in both the Republican National HQ and the HQ of the National Organization for Women.
This is Damned Frightening If
If the Homeland Security Act is not amended before passage, here is what will happen to you:
Every purchase you make with a credit card, every magazine subscription you buy and medical prescription you fill, every Web site you visit and e-mail you send or receive, every academic grade you receive, every bank deposit you make, every trip you book and every event you attend
Frightening This picture of Michael
This picture of Michael Jackson is frightening. Nightmarish might be a better word.
You Have to Be Kidding
Fresh from demonstrating their utter spinelessness on the issue of buggering young male children, U.S. Roman Catholic Bishops have gathered at their annual conference to draft a statement to express their moral reservations about going to war against Iraq.
Hey- You guys in the funny hats- Two words for you- “Moral Authority.”
As used in this sentence:- People who are so gutless that they can not stand up to their leadership that those who rape 9 year old boys should be treated with zero tolerance, prosecuted, and put away for life, have no MORAL AUTHORITY.
I wonder how O.J.’s search for the real killers is going?
Trent Lott, Moron Look. You
Look. You won a close election. The voters trusted you on National Security. Is this the only man who could possibly be able to fill this judicial slot, or do you just want to poke the Democrats wounds and fire up their base?
A spokesman for Senator Trent Lott, the Mississippi Republican who will become majority leader next year, said the administration would also renominate Charles W. Pickering Sr., the other Bush candidate defeated outright during the Democrats’ period of control.
“Senator Lott fully intends to bring up Judge Pickering’s nomination again next year,” said Ron Bonjean, his spokesman. Judge Pickering, a federal trial judge in Mississippi, was also rejected on a party-line vote for a seat on the Fifth Circuit.
I kind of like the title ‘Outgoing Majority Leader Daschle,’ almost as much as I like the title ‘Minority Leader Daschle.’ Apparently Trent Lott does not. When all else fails, consult Forrest Gump:
“Stupid is as stupid does.”
*** UPDATE ***
I am getting a lot of flack for this. Let me clear the air:
I think what the Dems did was wrong. However, they have spent the last two years whipping up hysteria about conservatives packing thew courts. Independent voters last week did not voter for Republicans for a renewed culture wars. All Lott is doing right now, by TALKING about judges is giving the Dems ammo. Can;t this wait a couple of months? Can’t he at least actually be Majority leader for a day before this talk starts? Or does he just want to provide the Dems with ammo so that they can shoot him in the back?

That no one is talking about.
Paging NOW AS MORE than
AS MORE than 80 young women arrived amid great fanfare in the Nigerian capital to take part in the Miss World contest, an illiterate 31-year-old woman sat in a stark room a few miles away contemplating a very different fate. Amina Lawal has been sentenced to death by stoning.
Isn’t this an issue that the National Organization for Women should be on like ugly on an ape? You would think so, but other than a press release, not a peep from the NOW gang, as they have much more heady issues to tackle. Weighty, deep issues, with much more urgency, like:
Trying to force Augusta National to admit womyn members.
Combatting the Bush/Cheney “weapon of mass distraction” by stepping up voter mobilization for 2004.
Promoting accurate and diverse portrayals of womyn and girls in the media.
Keeping on top of judicial nominations.
A full plate, indeed. The tragic thing is that NOW will probably spend more time and energy fighting the swimsuit portion of the Miss World contest than they will fighting for Amina Lawal. Maybe if they just pretend that Miss Lawal is a fetus, they can then live with themselves.
