As you can see by the “clock” above, it has been 100 days since Senator Kerry promised on national TV to sign his form 180.
Blogs for Bush has all the information necessary to send a fax…
Tim Russert, why aren’t you pushing this? Kerry made the promise to you…
Krystal Tobias (9) and Laura Hobbs (8) of Zion, Illinois, best of best friends, went for a bike ride together on Mothers’ Day. They never came home. Sometime in the middle of the night, whoever had prevented them from going back to their mothers, repeatedly stabbed both of them and left them in a park near their homes. Laura’s father and grandfather found them at dawn Monday.

May they rest in peace. Our prayers go out to their families and friends. |

So Blair wins a third consecutive majority government, and of course the Guardian’s Robin Cook’s recommendation is for Blair to immediately step down.
The Guardian’s pre-election bias didn’t effect the outcome (well who knows if it would have been a landslide without a hostile media telling UK voters that Blair is a liar), so now they are simply advocating that the electorate’s will be ignored.
Cook’s take is that the public really voted for the Labour party and not for Blair. Apparently it would be more democratic to run with one candidate, take the win, and then substitute the leader with someone who we can be absolutely certain the public did not vote for.
Well that makes sense.
Found this at Canadian Comment via Angry in the Great White North. Funny.

I found this one over at Red State. Apparently there is a bill in the system to exempt illegals from having their vehicles impounded.
California State Sen. Gil Cedillo is sponsoring S.B. 591 to amend the CA Vehicle Code to prevent illegal aliens who are caught driving without a license from having their cars impounded:
…This bill would require a city or county to exempt a person from the impound period where the offense involves a person who has never been issued a driver’s license due to an inability to meet the requirement that the applicant’s presence in the United States is authorized under federal law…
Exempting a lawbreaker from the consequences of a law because the are breaking another law just by being in California… What will they think of next?
Read the whole thing.
This is also at Michelle Malkin’s Immigration Blog (same post as at Red State).
Sorry that blogging’s light….stop. It’s absolutely nuts up here in Canada…..stop. Send supplies…..and a few conservative bloggers….stop.
A few weeks ago we added Blogspotting, Business Week’s newest Blog to the blogroll. This is a very interesting blog, dedicated to blogging in business, blogging as business and blogging and the media. Go check it out.
A few thoughts to add to Kim’s excellent post below about opposition to private accounts for social security. This whole argument that the accounts won’t be protected if the markets collapse is like saying homeowner’s insurance is no good because it won’t protect you if a large asteroid collides with the earth. If the capital markets go down the drain the entire economy will have crumbled, and getting our social security check will be the least of our worries. In that scenario, private or no private accounts, we would all be economically doomed.
Given that there appear to be more experts that say a devastating asteriod is likely to hit earth than there are experts fortelling the demise of our country’s economic foundations, perhaps we can move on to an intelligent debate on the subject.
