It is probably the height of arrogance to think one's own judgments will be history's judgments and perhaps the hanging of Sadaam Hussein will be lost amidst the unspeakable tragedy of the hundreds of thousands of those who lie dead in Iraq, many most assuredly by his own hand, but I had to turn [...]

Blue America: Electoral Targeting for 2008 Races |
| By: Howie Klein Saturday December 30, 2006 11:00 am |
Just a brief word on primaries for faithless Democrats like Ellen Tauscher and Rahm Emanuel and then I won't mention them for the rest of this story. The beauty, though, in primaries is that targeting can be done based substantially, or even entirely, on the record of the incumbent. In other words, if the incumbent [...]
The Search For Justice |
| By: Christy Hardin Smith Saturday December 30, 2006 8:58 am |
By now you have no doubt heard or read that Saddam Hussein was hanged in Iraq. The death sentence that had been passed from the courts during his first trial was carried out, after one last appeal for a retrial on legal grounds of inappropriate conduct and/or incorrect application of law and evidence or request for [...]
Pull Up A Chair… |
| By: Christy Hardin Smith Saturday December 30, 2006 6:24 am |
It's that time of year when I wake up to frost on the lawn and the trees, but the brightly colored seed catalogs begin arriving in the mailbox, tempting me with the brightness of their glossy pictures and the beauty of the flowers and vegetables that the various merchants have been able to coax to [...]

I see your precious wiener dog and raise you one 18-year-old Siamese cat presiding o'er his domain. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Old Colonel, Gus. He's my snarfly old dragon. Mr. Fang.
Late Nite FDL: The Kerry Camp Speaks |
| By: TRex Friday December 29, 2006 8:03 pm |
Michelle Malkin does NOT have a posse. We have an update on the "Nobody Sits With Johnny Kerry at 4th Period Lunch So He Must Have Cooties!" controversy that's been emanating from over in Righty Dumbfuckistan since yesterday like a cloud of noxious gas. My sources at Senator Kerry’s office just sent over this statement [...]
More TGIF… |
| By: Christy Hardin Smith Friday December 29, 2006 5:45 pm |
Because I can. Because it's Friday. Because it's been a long week for everyone. How about a round of good song, craptastic video? I'm in for Pat Benetar and her Love Is A Battlefield video. Love her voice. Love this song. The dude with the teeth? Not so much. The hooter shimmy? Crap-tacular. Today's comment [...]
TGIF… |
| By: Christy Hardin Smith Friday December 29, 2006 3:30 pm |
Other than the fact that it was the 80′s and lots of people were doing drugs, can anyone explain this song to me? Any other 80′s vids out there you'd like to share — because I'm in a nostalgic mood. And for my friend Tim, who may or may not be reading today, I'm also [...]
Behold… |

…the power of cute. World, meet PJ. PJ — meet the world. Yes, this is my miniature dachshund, in her new favorite spot under the warm computer battery resting on the lap desk. Mmmmmmm….toasty! (Although the TRex kitty is a cutie, how can you not love a little doxie face like that?) Because, frankly, I just could not [...]
The Spin I’m In: Wrap It Up I’ll Take It 2006 |
| By: Donita Sparks Friday December 29, 2006 11:00 am |
“Ooh La La” Goldfrapp Supernature I have simple tastes, I'm just hard to please. I've heard a lot of new stuff but I just end up liking a very small percentage of it. I'm this way with all music really. To me every genre, every scene and era has its gems and it's shoulder [...]
