Well, At Least She’d Know.
Oh yes, this kind of thing could only be done by a professional and lifelong politician: WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, drawing on her experiences as a young Watergate lawyer who decades later was investigated as first lady, urged creation of a “privacy bill of rights” Friday to protect people’s personal data. Now, [...]
The Early Sundries Shack 2008 Presidential Poll
I sat down and made a quick list of the folks I think are either making a serious bid now, or will in the near future, for President in 2008. Then I ranked them in order of who I’d vote for. Yeah, I’m doing a bit of vanity blogging, like most folks actually care what [...]
The Year that Fitzmas Didn’t Come
It’s a sad, sad day in Leftyville. Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald has told White House aide Karl Rove that he does not expect to seek charges against him in connection with the CIA leak case, Rove’s lawyer said today. In a statement this morning, Robert Luskin, Rove’s attorney, said that Fitzgerald “has formally advised us [...]
Remember those Uparmored Hummers?

But here in the Rio Grande Valley, the picture is different. Many [...]
Theft, He Bleats!
Here we go again. Republicans prevented more than 350,000 voters in Ohio from casting ballots or having their votes counted — enough to have put John Kerry in the White House. That’s the headline that accompanies Robert Kennedy, Jr’s. article in Rolling Stone magazine wherein he reheats the old argument that Bush Stole The Election. [...]
Clinton: Not a Liberal?
This is just funny to me, though it probably shouldn’t be. The Washington Post actually spent time and money and a reporter who had some journalistic pride before today to try to convince us that Senator Hillary Clinton’s politics aren’t liberal. Coming tomorrow, a hard-hitting article that suggest that water isn’t quite as wet as [...]
Tonight’s Immigration Speech
Yea, mostly it’s more of the same lukewarm, ineffective pap we’ve heard from the President for the past few years. More than that, it’s a melange of blending illegal immigration and legal immigration in a way that’s likely to confuse the hell out of people. High tech fences, motion sensors, and cameras are no substitute [...]
