Groundhog Day
…and it’s sunny. Always is. Six more weeks of winter. What a surprise.
Today is February 2. Spring officially begins on March 20 this year.
That’s 46 days.
Divide by 7 (for weeks)

"There's a Better Way"
Update! Ian at Expose the Left has a montage of Tim Kaine’s “better way”. Be sure to check out the eyebrow in the screen shot before you download the video…
Tim Kaine repeated this mantra over and over in the Democratic Response to the State of the Union Speech last night.
Ok, Tim, if “there’s a better way”, could you please tell me what it is?
Then there was the democrat side of the house cheering and applauding their inaction on Social Security, Hillary making faces, and Charlie Rangel refusing to stand when the President said,
There is no peace in retreat. And there is no honor in retreat. By allowing radical Islam to work its will — by leaving an assaulted world to fend for itself — we would signal to all that we no longer believe in our own ideals, or even in our own courage. But our enemies and our friends can be certain: The United States will not retreat from the world, and we will never surrender to evil.

One Year
365 days ago, John Kerry promised, on national TV, to sign form SF-180 and release his military records. He has yet to do so.
255 days ago, John Kerry signed form SF-180 to release his military records. When will we see the records? Will the Globe post the documents? Will Kerry release the 180 so we can see exactly what he authorized for release (and to whom)? Polipundit asks, ‘Where are the missing pages?’ Mark at USS Neverdock asks, ‘Did Kerry sign Part III of the Form 180?’ Scott Johnson at Powerline says ‘something is missing from his file’ Captain Ed says: ‘This release by Kerry still doesn’t answer key questions about what he’s claimed about his service.’
So Senator Kerry, it’s been a year. All we know is that George W. Bush got better grades than you did at Yale. Isn’t it about time that you released those records to the public? After all, you are running for President again. The public has a right to know.
Kerry Wants to Fillibuster Judge Alito
John Kerry, from Davos, Switzerland no less, is calling for a fillibuster of Judge Samuel Alito. He was calling back to the States trying to muster support (who’s paying that bill?) According to CNN Kerry has the support of his co-Senator, Kennedy.
Easy for Kerry, there in Davos, attending the World Economic Forum, to call for a fillibuster. He won’t be taking part in the “debate”, will he? He won’t have to stand there talking until his bladder just can’t take it anymore.
By the way Mr. Kerry, where are those records? The clock currently reads 361 days… Come Monday, it’ll be a year since you made that promise…
Senator Frist,
It is time to invoke the Byrd Option and change the Senate Rules again to remove fillibusters against judicial nominees.
Stop the ACLU has the story.

Transcript: Brian Maloney on The O'Reilly Factor
Political Teen has the video.
O’Reilly: In the Back of the Book Segment tonight, as we have been telling you, the liberal radio operation Air America is having major problems. Ratings in most major markets with the exception of New York City were down big in the latest survey. And the operation is losing tons of money despite being propped up with good publicity by liberal news operations like the New York Times.
Joining us now from Boston with some data is Brian Maloney who runs a blog called The Radio Equalizer. Mr. Maloney is not a fan of Air America.
First, what is the latest…
Maloney: {laughter at the “not a fan” comment}
O’Reilly: Well I want to, full disclosure, you’re coming at it, you don’t like them…
Maloney: Sure.
O’Reilly: And I don’t like them either. The latest in the New York State investigation of Air America and their charity problem. What’s the latest on that?
