Welcome Lucianne readers. Please feel free to look around the site. Categories are listed on the right hand side if you are interested. I hope you find your visit interesting. UPDATE: Our Reader Lucky Bogey has found some possible confirmation of this theory here. Highly-reliable sources within the Italian intelligence community have confirmed to this […]

You want to have a fun time at the Libby trial? Well start with the list of people who knew Val worked at the CIA! Who cares who knew about her efforts to get Joe to Niger in spite of the fact the intel community, when briefed, considered it a waste of time. And never […]

Reading DJ Drummond, who is under the weather today, makes me want to hang up the keyboard and just read. The Conservative Movement may become fractious at times, and may hold heated debates. But there is no simply comparison between the Left and Right in terms of cogency or substance, and for the foreseeable future […]

Thanks Michelle for the link and finding the typos! I am an engineer after all. What a bad move by the democrats. Here we are only a few short weeks after Iraqis voted in their democratic form of government and took another step towards a strong ally in the ME, and the Democrats pull a […]

As I posted earlier, Judge Alito may not be the conservative savior we were led to believe. In his dissenting opinion (of concurrence?) he is quite clear that the partial birth abortion ban in NJ was rightfully struck down since it did not address the ‘health’ of the mother. What is apparent, but not firm, […]

BTW, for those who think I have lost my marbles, I haven’t. I reserve the right to make sure Alito is worth the effort we are going to put into this next nomination. We are going to rue the day we did not find a qualified woman – it is just a political fact of […]

I cannot wait for Joe Wilson to take the stand (with Larry Johnson and a few others) at the Libby trial. The guy is just such a laughable egotist. Check out this self aggrandizing recollection of how he saved Niger after a coup de tat [dated October 31, 2003]: I had served there in the […]

Hold the presses. I got this interesting comment on this post from one Bender Rodriguez: The plain simple fact is that Alito voted in favor of partial birth abortion as a fundamental right. We don’t need to go any further than that. There can be and is no good excuse or reason for doing so. […]

Just to start with something different, there has been an interesting discovery in our solar system: two very small moons around the ‘planet’ Pluto. There is a lot of debate on whether Pluto is a planet (when is a orbiting mass a planet?) or something else. What else is beyond me. I think it would […]

Does anyone outside the myopic beltway obsessed recall asking for a showdown at the Senate corall? Senate Democrats and Republicans — along with interest groups both for and against Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr.’s Supreme Court nomination — fell into formation yesterday to begin the battle they’ve been expecting for more than a decade. “This […]
