Any Day Now….

If the current conflict in Lebanon continues, I suspect that the US (except Speaker Pelosi, as she was in Greenland at the time) will be held responsible for the rise of al-Qaeda in Lebanon and that the US should be held responsible for al-Qaeda in Lebanon fighting against the elected government of Lebanon.
Watch for Hezbollah [...]

A Fond Farewell

Cindy Sheehan seems to have finally discovered that the Daily Kos and Moveon.org were using her. What a pity – I hope Ms Sheehan is now finally able to find at least some peace wrt the loss of her son, Casey.

A Connection?

<font size=2>
<p align=left>Wonder if there is any connection between Iran holding three people visiting family in Iran, threatening to charge them with espianoge and the reports last week by ABC (from undisclosed sources, i.e. a possible true leak or a possible false leak) about an alleged non-military covert actions to be directed against Iran?</p>
<p align=left>True enough [...]

Either Or

The politics in Congress is always a little hard to divine.
For instance, the 110th Congressional Leadership decided to include minimum wage in the legislation for the 4 month Iraq supplemental, recently passed by Congress and signed by the President. Either the leadership was desperate to get something from the “Six for 06 Agenda” knowing [...]

Kinda Makes One Wonder

If the Leadership of the House and the Majority in the House don’t support their own rules and allow Rep. Murtha to violate the rules in such a blatant way, what can this say about their commitment to the “rules” in the Immigration Reform legislation being considered in the 110th Congress?   Maybe additional benchmarks should be [...]

You Can’t be Serious!!

Here’s two more reasons US membership in the UN should be reconsidered.
The chairmanship of the Commission on Sustainable Development, (economic development and the environment) was recently bestowed upon Zimbabwe. Although Zimbabwe used to be “breadbasket of Africa”, it is now in the middle of tremendous food shortages. Their inflation rate, a current highest record holder [...]

Verry Interresting

Speaker Pelosi indicates that she requires President Bush to “deliver” 70 GOP votes before she’ll bring any Immigration Reform to the floor of the house.  This is interesting in that all she really wants for passing Troop Support legislation that the President indicates that he’ll veto is a simple Dem “majority”, less Majority Leader Hoyer.
I [...]

All I ask…..

Very few Americans are anti-immigrant. As many have said [and I concur], the US is a country of predominantly immigrants. Immigrants are welcome and necessary to our continued growth and prosperity.
All I ask is that while the 110th Congress is considering Immigration Reform [as they should] that they don’t pass legislation that treats the taxpayers [...]

Same Shoe – Now on the Left Foot

Same game, new rules with Dems at helm   Good article over at Politico.com that lends support to my view of the 110th Congress.
Rep. Pelosi and Sen. Reid should start concentrating on serving the citizens and put off serving the political ambitions of the Dem Party, at least for the the time being. This is the [...]

Another Dem Victory?

The Senate voted down proposed legislation to defund Iraq military operations within 120 days.  Sen. Feingold’s (that name sounds familar) bill lost 67 to 29.   Sen. Barack and Sen. Clinton voted with the 29.  Four Senators did not vote.  Sen. Johnson is still recovering from his brain hemorage, so he’s excused.  Wonder who the other three non-voting [...]
