Gosh, Rick, I've been called a lot of things, but "pithy" is new. ;) Never could get a letter read on air by O'Reilly, tho. :(
Hey, thanks for the carnival, a fun-fest filled with foolishness, as always.

ARE WE MOVING TOWARD A MILITARY SHOWDOWN WITH IRAN?
It will be interesting to see how the Iranian people react to their neighbors in Iraq as they flourish in democracy (assuming they do, the train has left the station but there be bandits about).
International pressure? With "allies" like France and Germany, I guess I'm not too confident. Spineless UN resolutions that will be uninforcible would only add insult to injury.

Ouch. Rick, I'm sure it's Evil Glenn's doing.
Heh, dial-up, you don't need it until you need it.
Good luck anyhoo...

Congrats, Rick! :D It'll be tough for me to root for your Sox if Houston pulls through, since I have family ties down there. Saw Pettite pitch a great game against the Nats in Houston during August (I know, not hard to do). Still... oooh... we'll see.

IN DEFENSE OF HAROLD PINTER'S WORK
"Just because John Updike is a loony lefty that doesn’t make Rabbit Run any less of a joy to read. "
Very good point, Rick, and this makes me want to FINALLY try and finish the Rabbit cycle. Not sure I'm going to jump joyously into Pinter's work, but maybe I'll give it a try... (yea, the kids will be grown someday, and I'll eventually retire, from blogging as well...)
Indeed, I've enjoyed seeing the now-late August Wilson's plays, even though I didn't necessarily agree at all with his underlying themes. Man, could Wilson paint belivable, tragic characters!

That did it, Rick. I'm pulling for your White Sox this year. :D

Rick, I understand getting pissed, but I'm all for giving this some more time and thought. I'm largely with B. Poster on this one: perplexed yet understanding. I think Depleted Uranium nailed it as well:
"Believe what you like but I have more faith in the man."This is really all about faith, isn't it? I admit, at first I was shocked, and listening to Laura Ingraham yesterday got me to holding my head in my hands, rocking back and forth. But then after hearing Ken Mehlman and Dick Cheeney talk about Miers, and even hearing Newt Gingrich express his cautious optimism, the cleverness of this nomination became more clear to me. You call Bush's choice arrogant, but I call it strategic.
Just ask yourself:
1) Do you REALLY think that Bush, after all these years of trying to get fair up or down votes on his CONSERVATIVE, ORIGINALIST nominees to the federal bench, would really go LEFT with one of possibly the only two chances he'll have at the BIG prize, the SCOTUS?2) If you were Bush, would you really want to go to battle over a Rogers Brown or and Alito with the Senate GOP as your army? (a point that Limbaugh was making yesterday) B. Poster's point above is well taken. We're looking for a victory here, not a fight that a perceptibly weakened president has a very good chance of losing thanks to an unreliable Republican Senate. If you want to get pissed at anyone, then dammit get pissed at the freaking RINOs!
You seem to feel this selection is very nearly an impeachable offense. I am cautiously optimistic, and more and more folks like me are speaking up in the right-minded b'sphere. While there are plenty of reasons to NOT have faith in Bush (e.g., cutting federal spending, border security), I do have considerable faith in him on this one. Best reason: He lived through his father's Souter mistake, probably is horrified more by it than is Bush 41.
Last thing: the Left is just LOVING the fact that the Right is shredding itself over this nomination. Wouldn't it be loverly if instead we pulled ourselves together behind the president and simply BELIEVED that we will have the last laugh on this one?

MY "HOUSE" IS ONE YEAR OLD TODAY!
Happy Blogiversary Rick! And here's to eagerly anticipating many more. :D
And I have to thank YOU and RWNH bigtime for giving me the push and helping to get me started. That is, when I'm not cursing you under my breath. ;-)

THE WILD, WILD, WILD, WILD, AND WACKY WORLD OF CINDY SHEEHAN
If things keep on going this way, I believe we'll soon learn that Cindy BooHoo is going to be the birth mother of the Raelian's next cloned human: Michael Moore Jr.
Such a beast might actually cherish her as madonna for awhile... before it devoured her with glee. How poetic.

DANCING ON THE GRAVES OF BLACK PEOPLE
Northern Observer:
that's a pretty darn broad statement, with nothing obvious to back it up.In fact, that's something I'd say about liberal ideology. There's plenty to back up MY statement up, simply by reading through Rick's blog, for starters.
