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?

Blogging Will Be Light Until Wednesday
The hubby and I have an opportunity for a mini-second honeymoon. My wonderful sister is kidsitting so we can spend a couple of days at Universal in Florida.
Since I have school work to do too, I’ll be bringing the laptop and might be able to fit in a little blogging, but don’t expect much.
Take a Stand
Debbie Schlussel, blogger/investigative writer/lawyer, is extending an invitation to citizens interested in intervening in the ACLU’s NSA lawsuit. She practices in Eastern Michigan, where the suit was filed.
Also be sure to read Schlussel’s exposé of some of the shady plaintiffs in the ACLU’s suit.
Stop The ACLU will be the first intervening party. Per email of Debbie:
Jay:
For sure. I will make you and/or Stop the ACLU the first intervening party (It will be Stop the ACLU etal vs. . . . .). But I gotta work on this over the weekend. I’ll get back to you on this.

Who Do You Look Like?
Laura Lee Donoho at the Wide Awake Cafe links to a site where a face recognition program compares your photo to those of celebrities and lets you know who you look like.
The first one was Nicole Kidman which was very nice for me.
Others were Julie Christie, Sean Astin and Benjamin Netanyahu.

They do give you a percentage for the match. Nicole was 65%, Julie was 54%, Sean was 48% and Benjamin was 45%
Nagin on Dayside
Mayor Ray Nagin was on the phone with Dayside today. Present in the studio were Montel Williams, Juliette Huddy and Steve Doocy.
Huddy: On the phone right now is Mayor Ray Nagin. Good to have you on the phone with us sir.
Nagin: Good to be here.
Huddy: All right. So we saw you explaining what you meant by, by “Chocolate City”. You’ve been getting some flack for that. We have an email: “His comments are inflamatory and inappropriate. Imagine a white mayor referring to his city as a vanilla city.” We’ve recieved a few of those. But are you okay with your comments? Do you feel like you have any regrets about making them?
Nagin: Let me just kind of quickly get to the three issues that I was trying to communicate yesterday. First of all, I was trying to get a message that African-Americans are welcome in the city of New Orleans. Secondarily, I was talking about the violence that happened the day before, and thirdly, this whole undercurrent of who should come back and who shouldn’t come back.
I used some analogies and probably didn’t hit the mark on my message, but I never intended to offend anyone. And I think if they look at the entire context of what I said they’ll understand the points I was trying to make.
Williams: Mr. Mayor, it’s Montel here. You know we know each other and I gotta make this comment, there’s a lot of anger based on what you said yesterday, but let’s stop for a second and remember that Hillary Rodham Clinton, the day before, called the entire Republican party a plantation. Okay? So, what we’ve now proven is that politicians sometimes shoot from the hip. I’ll bet you Mayor Nagin would like to take some of those comments back and re-do them and say them exactly like he said them here.
Huddy: What did you say Mayor?
Nagin: Especially the God comment. If I could take anything back, that’s what I would take back.
Doocy: So the comment that you made where you said that God was mad at the United States for invading Iraq, you would like a do-over on that?
Nagin: I would like to take those back because that was a private conversation that I had with a minister a few weeks ago and for some reason at the moment that came forth.
Williams: The spirit hits you. You know, I was down in New Orleans and saw Mayor Nagin enduring Katrina, I was down there five days after, worked with this man, talking with this man. Like a lot of politicians in America, and I’m not saying this as a negative to you sir, but a lot of politicians get caught up in the moment, they’re caught up in the fever. He was caught up, he made some statements that he shouldn’t have made. I think now that we can understand that he’s at least willing to back up and say ‘I made a mistake’.
