The visit to Iraq by Secretary of State Rice and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld signal the end of the Iraq war.  Surrender-desperate liberals and media talking heads are going to be besides themselves trying to keep the issue alive for three more years, but its over folks. Saddam Hussein was defeated. We found plenty of […]

*** Too funny: I see Nathan Tabor at The Conservative Voice used the same nysery rhyme title I did. Honest Nathan, I did not mean to copy you! *** Lots of good stuff in blogosphere on Mary McCarthy. Kitty Litter has a great round up overall. Mind In The Qatar has a great diagram showing […]

Another brief posting day (Wednesday’s are always bad for me). I am happy to see Fox’s Tony Snow taking on the WH Press Secretary Job. Tony has a good relationship with the press, the people and conservatives. This will help the WH image immensely. I also like Bush’s initiatives yesterday on the gas price front.  […]

Now the McCarthy defense, all lawyered up with scandal lawyer Ty Cobb, has a new angle on her defense: she was authorized to talk (i.e., leak) to reporters!

Well,.. umm,… […]

I had this story on Congress toughening laws against leakers posted in the Fly By below, until I saw this little gem: Critics described the potential penalties outlined in the measure as “draconian.” “In a moment when the intelligence community should be looking forward toward what it does best, the arrest powers represent a step […]

*** Update: polls are actually lagging indicators to where the nation is heading. A leading indicator is consumer confidence, which is now at a 4 year high! The summer rebound is coming, barring any disasters *** To folks new to the site, the ‘Fly By’ post is a way for me to attempt to be […]

*** Captain Ed Morrissey has some excellent thoughts on this matter here. Interesting to see the good Captain was an FSO, so was I at one (brief) time. *** Well, this is a surprise. Mary McCarthy, who according to government sources admitted to exposing classified information to reporters, and possibly specifically Dana Priest of the […]
