HOW DYSFUNCTIONAL IS OUR GOVERNMENT?
The idea that Al Qaeda can target Addington now that he's been on TV is just plain stupid and dishonest. Anyone who can use Google can find innumerable pictures of him. Of course, the idea that Al Qaeda couldn't be sure whether the U.S. waterboards prisoners unless Addington had confirmed it is equally stupid and dishonest. Delahunt was making a pointed comment about Addington's (and his boss's) penchant for behind-the-scenes skullduggery, not a death threat.
By the way, Yoo teaches at Berkeley, not Stanford.

The 1950's a liberal time? I don't think so.The Eisenhower years were a time of stultifying conservatism especially for women and blacks.The years 1960-63 in contrast were a golden age of enthusiasm,prosperity where America stood tall in pride in the country and its President.Nixon and the Republicans destroyed all that Kennedy had built up.

For the love of all that's holy, grow up. McCain ain't perfect--and I plan on voting against him in the primaries--but he's still a damn sight better than Shrillary, Obambi, or Silky Pony.
Try to remember the usual relationship between the perfect and the good.

OBAMA PRAISES REAGAN AS "SINGULAR FIGURE"
If not for Reagan, not only would the Soviet Union still exist, but Afganistan, and Eastern Eurpoe would still be under it's control (and since their empire was based on expansion, it is reasonable to believe they would have continued to expand in the face of perceived Western weakness). For if there were no Reagan, there would probably have not been a Thatcher.
As far as optimism, one of Reagan's signature lines was referring to America as "the shining city on the hill." If that is not optimistic, I don't know what is.

I would not remain in a party that abandoned its support for the right to life. However, Huckabee is cynically presenting a false choice. Our most successful candidates have been those who were both fiscally and socially conservative. We can't have one without the other and expect to win.
Usually it's pro-choice candidates who threaten our party with this false choice. This time, it's the other way around with much higher stakes. Neither approach is acceptable and I think our party's voters know it. Huck won't win. Go Fred!

BLOGBURST FOR FRED: MAN THE OARS AND START PULLING
I've contributed twice to Fred over the last 2 weeks. He is the only Republican I can support 100%. All of the others (except Paul) are pro-imigration or have other problems (anti-gun, pro-abortion, tax & spend) that turn me against them. If Fred loses, I'll begin to feel like Zell Miller, I didn't leave my party, it left me.

THOMPSON PUNISHED FOR BREAKING THE MOLD
Shallowest criteria in the last 35 years? Really? So what did you think of Peggy Noonan writing last week that John Edwards's pre-show hairdo time disqualified him from the presidency?

You must be a terrific writer. I'm sitting here crying over the death of a cat that I couldn't care less about...I don't even like cats. I'm truly sorry for your loss.
