The fires are no joking manner. People's lives have been lost and thousands of homes destroyed or damaged this week. But the speed and ferocity with which the media and their anti-Bush friends have pounced on the fires for their own benefit was stunning. I'm going to play three examples. Two are from Air America, a station known for polemics against the Bush administration. First, thanks to a href="http://radioequalizer.blogspot.com/2007/10/libtalkers-on-wildfire-causes-randi. html"the Radio Equalizer/a, we have Randi Rhodes speculating that Blackwater is somehow involved, then Mike Malloy accuses the "Bush Crime Family" of setting the fires. Moonbats. pPlay clip.br / pNot to be outdone, the Junior Senator from California, Barbara Boxer used her hearing into the effects of Global Warming on Public Health issues, to claim that there is shortage of equipment in California to fight fires, and it is somehow the fault of the Bush Administration's war in Iraq. Thanks to a href="rtsp://video.c-span.org/project/energy/energy102307_warming.rm"C-SPAN/a for the audio. pPlay clip.br / pThat was Kit Bond setting her straight, re-framing her complaint about equipment into a promise to vote to increase funding for the national guard in the next Pentagon authorization bill. Fat chance Kit. pAs Don Boudreaux on a href="http://cafehayek.typepad.com/hayek/2007/10/the-war-and-wil.html"Cafe Hayek/a wrote:blockquotethis war, while it does interfere with efforts to extinguish wildfires, does not interfere any more so than does nearly any other government program you care to name. Resources have multiple uses and are scarce. To use a worker or raw materials fighting a war is to take that worker and those materials, at least for a time, away from other potentially valuable uses. pThe same is true of using workers and other resources to fight the "war on drugs" -- or using workers and other resources to administer agricultural price-support programs -- or using workers and other resources to run the Departments of Education, Transportation, Commerce, and so on -- or using workers and other resources to enforce the Endangered Species Act./p pThe question is not does fighting the war in Iraq reduce government's (and private persons') ability to battle the wildfires. Of course it does. The questions are, rather, are too many resources devoted to fighting the war? Will Americans likely be made better off by taking some resources away from the war effort and put instead to other uses?/blockquote/p pBoxer's attempt to blame property losses in California on Iraq are easy and simplistic, but she is just wrong. As a Senator, she has the power to buy whatever the forest fighters might need. As it turns out, the fire fighters are not likely to need many of the up-armored Humvees, or MRAP vehicles, or remote control IED defusing systems that are now in use by the National Guard in Iraq. They need highly trained personnel and specialized equipment. If it is so important to buy that stuff, then propose it. Otherwise, shut the heck up. Moonbat. pThe press is really looking for someone to blame for this tragedy. Listen to this excerpt from the Pentagon Press conference discussing what they were doing to help California. When Lt. General Steve Blum, Chief of the National Guard Bureau got up to answer questions, he was asked there was any way that the war in Iraq made things worse in California. Listen to one reporter pleading for material she could use. Thanks to the a href="http://dodvclips.mil/index.jsp?fr_story=FRdamp225194rf=rss"Pentagon Channel/a for the audio. pPlay clip.br / pHow effective would your typical Marine be, with no fire fighting training, be in a brush fire? If California needed manpower, they could call up some of their 15,000 National Guard. The media is just trying to find an angle to blame the war in Iraq for something. h3Working with George - emNancy Pelosi's view of the President/em/h3 pI dislike Nancy Pelosi enormously. She is clearly focussed on fighting Republicans, and not at all on fighting terrorists who are trying to kill us. Here she is on a href="http://www.pbs.org/kcet/tavissmiley/archive/200710/20071022_pelosi.html"Tavis Smiley's/a show last week. It starts off with her claim that "the generals" agree with her, than clarifies it that only the few "retired generals" that have been willing to take her side say we need to get out now. Then she mis-speaks that we have to fight in Afghanistan, "that's where the terrorists are", corrected to "that's where terrorism began". Why should we be fighting where the terrorists no longer are as active as they are elsewhere? She doesn't say. Later she discloses how she really feels about George Bush. She has the worse case of Bush Derangement Syndrome around. pPlay clip.br / pNancy, we have learned over time that you do not share our values. You want to pull out of the hotbed of terrorism in Iraq, redirect our forces to a place where the can do very little more, and take the advice of people who have no accountability for their success, the "retired generals". Some values. pbr / h3Why Does the Religious Right Prefer Hillary to Giuliani? - emDobson's Answer/em/h3br / pI've been wondering why the religious right has been so upset with Rudy Giuliani as the Republican nominee for President. I heard Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, explain his views to KKLA host Frank Pastore on TownHall.com's a href="http://www.townhall.com/TalkRadio/Show.aspx?RadioShowID=12ContentGuid=4cd11a80- a9f7-4dea-b44e-d71253df91db"Weekend Journal/a. His ideas were reasonable, if you have a a singular focus on biblical moral principals above any economic, security, or political rationale. My problem is that if we put up someone acceptable to Dobson, we could end up with Sam Brownback as a candidate, and Hillary Clinton as President. Dobson said as much during this interview./p pPlay clip.br / pAt the end, Dobson showed his cards. He said, qIf Hillary does win, and that would be awful, but if she does win, that same community would mobilize like never before./q In other words, if Hillary becomes president, our fund raising will go through the roof. What an enormously self interested jerk. He is willing to destroy the U.S. military, send our health care system into socialism, and increase tax rates to levels not seen in 50 years, as long as he will have a good foil for his fund raising letters. pbr / h3Demagoguing the Jena Six in the House - emAppealing to the prejudices and Fears of the People/em/h3br / pI have no love for the only Muslim Congressman in the House of Representatives, Keith Ellison, D from MN. As a href="http://redstatemobile.com/node/127591"Redstate /anoticed in a post entitled,blockquoteA hateful circus in the House Judiciary Committee/p pThe United States Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana is black attorney Donald Washington. Washington comported himself with great dignity as he was humiliated in disgraceful and disgusting fashion at Tuesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing by several Democratic members, including Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Keith Ellison. Ellison played the role of the bullying, insulting demagogue that he perfected while hustling on behalf of Louis Farrakhan and assorted thugs and cop killers in Minneapolis during the 1990's./blockquoteC-SPAN described the hearing this way:br / blockquoteDonald Washington, U.S. Atty. for the Western District of Louisiana, testifies at a House Judiciary Cmte. hearing on the "Jena Six." The Cmte. is investigating why the Justice Dept. did not pursue hate crime prosecutions following the Jena High School noose incident. Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) chairs the hearing. /blockquoteThanks to a href="http://www.c-span.org/rss/video.asp?MediaID=32975"C-SPAN/a for the audio. This part is at 35 minutes in, when Ellison questions, and refuses to let respond, U.S. Atty. Donald Washington. /p pPlay clip.br / pWhat a bully. He was not looking for answers, nor for the truth. As a true demagogue, he was looking to incite people by appealing to their prejudices, fears, and ignorance. As we now know, most of the Jena Six accepted truths are false, including the so called "noose hangers" incident. As Craig Franklin wrote in the a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/1024/p09s01-coop.html"Christian Science Monitor/a on 10/24, much of what the media has been repeating, and Congressmen have been demagoguing, was wrong. He wrote:blockquoteAn investigation by school officials, police, and an FBI agent revealed the true motivation behind the placing of two nooses in the tree the day after the assembly. According to the expulsion committee, the crudely constructed nooses were not aimed at black students. Instead, they were understood to be a prank by three white students aimed at their fellow white friends, members of the school rodeo team. (The students apparently got the idea from watching episodes of "Lonesome Dove.")/blockquoteGo and read the whole thing for a eye opening view of the truth the media leaves far behind in their rush to tell a story that comports with their own prejudgments. But don't expect those like Ellison to apologize. They will have moved on to the new story long ago. h3Courage in strikeIndia/strike Pakistan -em Benazir Bhutto after escaping an attack/h3 Upon returning to India after a lengthy exile, suicide bombers attacked Benzir Bhutto's vehicle procession through Karachi. As a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21344367/"MSNBC /awrote:blockquoteA suicide bombing in a crowd welcoming former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto killed at least 123 people Thursday night, shattering her celebratory procession through Pakistan's biggest city after eight years in exile./blockquote a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2007/10/after-facial-reconstruction-pakistan. html"Gateway Pundit/a found a video of her talk to her supporters shortly after the blast, where she had this to say: pPlay clip.br / pI wish her good luck against those who seek her elimination. pThat's it for now podcatchers.

The lineup, featuring a href="http://www.amosthetransparent.com" target="new" title="Amos The Transparent"Amos The Transparent/a, A href="http://www.myspace.com/ohnoforestfires" target="new" title="Oh No Forest Fires"Oh No Forest Fires/a and a href="http://thecrafteconomy.com/" target="new" title="Craft Economy"The Craft Economy/a, wasn't necessarily one that looks impressive or rings many bells at first glance but come back in a year and run it up the flagpole - I bet a whole lot more people will be saluting.br / br / The Craft Economy kicked things off with their illuminated bar graph t-shirts, co-ed frontpersons and breakneck New Wave/twee-pop/post-punk hybrid, they radiated relentless fun and came across as maybe the coolest Summer camp counselors you never had. The whole of their debut EP iAll In C/i is available to download from a href="http://thecrafteconomy.com/music/music.html" target="new" title="All In C"their website/a and as peppy as the recordings are, they barely capture the energy of the band live. Their next show is January 9 at The Boat, it's recommended you be there.br / br / The name of Oh No Forest Fires may stick with you at first by virtue of it being a really terrible band name, but after you hear them, you'll remember them because they're a rather amazingly good band. They're a relatively new outfit but comprised of veterans, with members drawn from local acts like a href="Http://www.fiveblankpages.com" target="new" title="Five Blank Pages"Five Blank Pages/a, a href="http://www.arts-crafts.ca/themostserenerepublic/" target="new" title="TMSR"The Most Serene Republic/a and a href="http://www.foxjaws.com/" target="new" title="Fox Jaws"Fox Jaws/a and if that sounds like a recipe for a fractured neighbourly setting (synonyms ahem), wait till you hear them. With glorious, guitar-driven anthems that make prog-pop seem like the most natural thing in the world and an energetic live show that the stage couldn't contain (though the tiny Rancho stage can't contain an awful lot), ONFF were one of the most impressive new things I've seen in a long time. That their four-song EP is as good as it is and is still just a demo is both exciting and frightening. I'm keeping a very close eye (and ear) on these guys. They're playing the Gladstone on January 10 and, again, it's recommended you be there.br / br / Which leaves headliners Amos The Transparent, whom a href="http://www.chromewaves.net/index.php?itemid=2794" title="Chromewaves vs Amos The Transparent"I'd seen before/a and whose album A href="http://www.maplemusic.com/product.asp?dept%5Fid=5111pf%5Fid=5110%2D01lang=EN" target="new" title="Everything I've Forgotten To Forget"iEverything I've Forgotten To Forget/i/a I have and A href="http://www.chromewaves.net/index.php?itemid=2831" title="Chromewaves vs Amos The Transparent"have been enjoying/a, so you'd think they'd be the most known quantity to me. As it turned out, not so much. At Pop Montreal they were legion, a many-headed beast of guitars and drums and keys, adding eloquent bombast to iEverything/i's already grand arrangements but on this night, there were only four of them and they took a more conventional tactic for making an impression - volume, alcohol and rock. And it's a testament to both the writing and the players that songs that seemed made for widescreen presentation translated so well in a smaller format. The melodic melancholy that rests at the core of Amos' sound remained intact but was delivered with an extra visceralness that may have previously been hidden behind the layers of sound. Remarkably though, for all the rawness of the set the crucial little details of the record - the keyboard flourishes, the vocal harmonies - were still there and if there was extra angst in the air you wouldn't have known it from frontman Jonathan Chandler's cheery disposition. Or maybe that was just the drink. Either way, they capped off as a stellar night of music that could go down as one of this bills you look at in a couple years and think, "man - imagine seeing those bands in a tiny club". It could happen. It certainly should. br / br / strongPhotos:/strong A href="http://www.chromewaves.net/concertPhotos.php?concert=amosTheTransparent" title="Amos The Transparent, Oh No Forest Fires, The Craft Economy @ Rancho Relaxo - December 13, 2007"Amos The Transparent, Oh No Forest Fires, The Craft Economy @ Rancho Relaxo - December 13, 2007/abr / StrongMP3:/strong A href="http://www.chromewaves.net/mp3/AmosTheTransparent-TitleTrack.mp3" title="Title Track"Amos The Transparent - "Title Track"/abr / StrongMP3:/strong A href="http://www.bleatingheartshows.com/songs/AmosTheTransparent-AfterAllThatItsComeT oThis.mp3" title="After All That Its Come To This"Amos The Transparent - "After All That Its Come To This"/abr / strongMP3:/strong A href="http://www.chromewaves.net/mp3/OhNoForestFires-WeFitOurCharm.mp3" title="We Fit Our Charm"Oh No Forest Fires - "We Fit Our Charm"/abr / strongMP3:/strong A href="http://thecrafteconomy.com/music/files/02%20Drag-On.mp3" title="Drag On"The Craft Economy - "Drag-On"/abr / strongMP3:/strong A href="http://thecrafteconomy.com/music/files/01%20The%20Crash.mp3" title="The Crash, The Wagon, The Dying Horses"The Craft Economy - "The Crash, The Wagon, The Dying Horses"/abr / strongMySpace:/strong A href="http://www.myspace.com/amosthetransparent" target="new" title="Amos The Transparent"Amos The Transparent/abr / strongMySpace:/strong A href="http://myspace.com/thecrafteconomy" target="new" title="Craft Economy"The Craft Economy/abr / br / A href="http://mligon08.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html#150833793773007099" target="new" title="FTR vs Winter"For The Records/a has a couple of the acts for this year's free shows at Nathan Phillips Square as part of the A href="http://www.toronto.ca/special_events/wintercity/" target="new" title="Winter City 08"WinterCity Festival/a - a href="http://tokyopoliceclub.com/" target="new" title="TPC"Tokyo Police Club/a on January 26 and A href="Http://www.theweakerthans.org" target="new" title="Weakerthans"The Weakerthans/a on February 2.

From their support of rouge militia elements, their supplying of the deadly Explosively Formed Projectiles, also known as EFP's, the training of Iraqi insurgents, and the presence of Quods force operatives inside Iraq, they have been supremely challenging to the interests of the U.S. in Iraq. It was therefore surprising to hear the following exchange in a press briefing from November 6 in Iraq, with Rear Admiral Gregory Smith and the press. Thanks to the a href="http://www.mnf-iraq.com/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=15086Itemid=128 "Pentagon Channel /afor the audio. pPlay clip.br / pSo, it looks like the EFP shipments into Iraq have stopped, and as a response we are releasing some Iranians held in detention in Iraq. This sounds promising. The nine Iranians were released three days later. According to the a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gkx-3oYeFwuWKCusr2jrojs98w8wD8SQ54Q80"AP/a: blockquoteBAGHDAD (AP) -- The U.S. military released nine Iranians from custody in Iraq on Friday, including two accused of being members of an elite force suspected of arming Shiite extremists. It said they were no longer considered security risks. pThe nine were released to Iraqi officials, and were being transferred to the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad, the U.S. military said in a statement. They were expected to return to Iran later Friday, it said./blockquote I say this is good news, even if I have no idea what it all means. /p pWe are clearly getting the upper hand Militarily in Iraq. The monthly casualty and death rates have been coming down among US military and Iraqi civilians. One of the reasons is that Sadr has asked his followers to abide by a cease fire. Admiral Smith addressed a question about this the next day. Thanks to the a href="http://www.podcastdirectory.com/podcasts/9536"MNF-I web site/a for the audio. pPlay clip.br / pThe key influence has been the decimation of Al Qaeda in Iraq. The primary purpose of the November 7 briefing was to show how many senior leaders and operational members of this band of thugs have been either killed or captured. Here is Smith talking some numbers. A picture of some of these guys is on the Wizbang Podcast web site.

Here is David Obey, D-WI, and chairman of the house appropriations committee explaining the success, answering questions at the National Press Club. Thanks to a href="rtsp://video.c-span.org/15days/e110507_obey.rm"C-SPAN/a for the audio. pPlay clip.br / pThat's it, we've run out of targets. Must be, Dave. Moonbat. Later on he is asked a question about funding the Pentagon's request for modifications to a bomber to accommodate a larger conventional warhead. His answer has a lot to say about where the power lies in Congress. Hint: it doesn't rest in this cheese head. pPlay clip.br / pI love it. Obey said: "I don't have the power to determine whether we will or will not do anything. " How true, how true. h3Hillary's Equivocating - emHaving it all ways/em/h3 pSenator Clinton is trying to triangulate between different positions on Iran. She voted for a resolution to call the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, but has been taking incoming fire from the Democrats that the resolution was a call for an invasion of Iran. Of course it was not. Any comparison between the Iran resolution, and the final authorization for the use of military force in Iraq that Congress passed in 2003 is a fantasy. We have a long way to go before any military actions in Iran. But here's Hillary triangulating Anti-Bush positions with her support of the resolution, at the Democratic Debate last week. I can't figure out where she stands. Can you? pPlay clip.br / pWell, now we know that Hillary's secret weapon will be: vigorous diplomacy. Why didn't I think of that. Of course that is exactly what the Bush administration sanctions have been, and Bush's meetings with the heads of state of Europe. She has to find a way to bash Bush while hoping no one sees that her policies would be identical to his. Later on in the debate she had her well known gaffe about driver's licenses for illegal aliens. Tim Russert has been vilified for asking this question, and the one about the release of secret papers on the role she played in the Clinton White House. To me, his question is a typical Tim Russert gotcha question. Welcome to the big house, Ms Clinton. If you can't handle Tim, how are you going to deal with old Dinner Jacket in Iran? pPlay clip.br / h3Armitage on Plame -emShe was Right, I'm an Idiot/em/h3 pOne of the great mysteries of the Valerie Plame/Joe Wilson kerfuffle has been the question of why Richard Armitage leaked her identity to Robert Novak. As a senior State Department official, he should have known that providing her name to that serial discloser Novak would result in instant publication of her CIA role. On Sunday, appearing on a href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/11/12/cia.armitage/"Wolf Blitzer's Late Edition/a, Armitage explained. pPlay clip.br / pAs Byron York on the a href="http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=YTc1NGM0ZjAzZDBhZTg4NTNhODhiODgwZTY5M2 RmNTA="Corner/a of National Review Online said:blockquotehe also gave us a bit more evidence to show that, from his perspective at least, it was entirely unintentional. But there must be a conspiracy in there somewhere./blockquoteOf course the only conspiracy I could find was the one to try to manufacture a scandal out of a fools misstatement to the press. Novak has already said that he found Plame's name in the Who's Who directory, after Armitage said the wife of Joe Wilson worked at the agency. Putting two and two together is not that complicated people. h3Are we Waterboarding Anyone? - emLindsey Graham says no, and he ought to know/em/h3 pAt the confirmation hearings of Attorney General Nominee Judge Michael Mukasey, there has been an enormous amount of discussion of the interrogation technique of waterboarding. I have no opinion on the morality or effectiveness of waterboarding. On one side you have those who say it is torture, and we should not stop the practice immediately. Others say it works, it doesn't meet the definition of torture, and we should continue it. Both sides have lathered on the rhetoric at the expense of some pretty basic questions. Two questions that I'd like answered are:olliWhat is it?/liliAre we doing it today?/li/ol pDuring the final confirmation hearing, when the committee met to vote on recommending his nomination to the full senate, Lindsey Graham, R-SC, had this to say about those kind of basic questions. Thanks to a href="rtsp://video.c-span.org/project/atty/atty110607_vote.rm"C-SPAN/a for the audio. pPlay clip.br / pWhat he said was that the CIA program is legal and effective. And further, qWaterboarding is illegal. You can put 2 + 2 together if you want./q The only way those two statements could be true is if the CIA doesn't do waterboarding. If so, all the Democratic posturing is just intended to embarrass the administration under the cover of a secret program. If the program became public, all this posturing would been seen as disingenuous. Which of course it is. We don't waterboard. End of discussion. pThat's it for now, podcatchers.

Another Huckabee flaw is his support for scholarships for illegal immigrants while governor of Arkansas. He was confronted about this expertly by George Stephanopoulos on ABC's a href="http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/"This Week last Sunday/a. Thanks to the a href="http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=N2QxOTFmMzljZTkyNzViOTQ1YzU4ZTUwYjhmND M2Yjg="Corner /afor pointing out a post by a href="http://www.arkansasnews.com/archive/2007/12/05/DavidJSanders/344264.html"David Sanders of the Arkansas News Bureau/a. pPlay clip.br / pI'm going to read David Sanders posting here:blockquoteHis logic capsized. Apparently for Huckabee, withholding college scholarships or in-state tuition from the children of illegal immigrants is tantamount to the state "punishing" students for the sins of their parents, but withholding Pell grants or financial aid from the children of illegal immigrants is tantamount to the federal government simply not "rewarding" these same students for the sins of their parents? pHe is trying to have it both ways./p pStephanopoulos reduced Huckabee, who is often lauded for his rhetorical prowess, to the role of a verbal contortionist who tried to bend and spin his way out of unfamiliar territory. But when he forced Huckabee to project onto the presidency the logic and reasoning that guided him as governor, he exposed an incongruent position and an inherent weakness on an issue important to Republicans. /blockquotebr / pSo with that performance behind him, the current Iowa front-runner Huckabee has been backpedaling fast. Today, four days later, he a href="http://www.townhall.com/blog/g/d1703ab4-54ee-4e2b-835f-3f81311d2ee2"posted /ahis qPlan for Immigration Enforcement and Border Security/q. It's a decent comprehensive plan to address the problem on the federal level, where most agree it should be dealt with. States and localities have been forced into silly positions by the millions of people who the federal government has allowed into the country illegally. The problem is that he came by this plan only after being called on it by a liberal media person like Stephanopoulos, formerly Clinton's press secretary. Can you imagine how his position on evolution vs. Intelligent Design will resound among the Democrats and independents in November, should he win the nomination? It won't be pretty. /p pbr / h3Romney's Faith in America Speech -em What does it mean for the Evangelical Vote/em/h3br / pIt's no secret that Romney has trouble convincing evangelical Christians that it would be safe to nominate a member of the LDS church for President. Many of the Christian conservatives just don't like what the church stands for, nor their aggressive conversion and missionary efforts. His religion is also a problem for the Democrats, who don't like anyone who wears their faith so openly. It makes liberals feel creepy. Here is a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16846036"NPR's Robert Seigel/a talking to Romney on religion last week. Thanks to the a href="http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MGM4MDIyYmM3MDBkM2E4NjU5NzFkNjczNWU1Mm VmYzk="Corner /afor the pointer./p pPlay clip.br / pThis problem of Romney's membership, and leadership, in the LDS church has been talked about frequently by the pundits on TV. Today, he gave a speech attempting to address the issues. His talk was modeled, claims the media, on a talk John F. Kennedy's gave as the Democratic nominee for President, when he attempted to address concerns with his Catholic faith. Here's a short clip from that a href="http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/jfkhoustonministers.html"speech /ato religious leaders in Houston, Texas on September 12, 1960, less than a month before the general election. pPlay clip.br / pThis speech is widely credited with enabling non-Catholics to feel safe voting for Kennedy in 1960. Romney felt he needed the same kind of response, so that religious conservatives in the Republican party were comfortable with his candidacy. Unlike Catholics in 1960, who represented somewhere around 25% of the electorate, the 4.9 milion members of the LDS chuch today are less than 2% of the U.S. population. This makes Romney's hill a bit steeper to climb than what Kennedy faced. Here is an excerpt from today's speech by Romney at the campus of Texas AM University at the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas. Thanks to a href="rtsp://video.c-span.org/archive/c08/c08_120607_romney.rm"C-SPAN/a for the audio, and the Corner for the a href="http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NDJjZDlhYTlkOTE1MWQzMTVlNjhmMmU5YzQ3YjkxMD I="transcript/a. pPlay clip.br / pByron York on the a href="http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=M2ViNWYyYzQxMjcyZmY4OWQxMDJhM2FiNDBjZD ZmODU="Corner on National Review Online/a had this to say after the speech:blockquoteI just spoke with Oran Smith [of the Palmetto Family Council], who watched the speech in Columbia, South Carolina with a small group of religious conservatives. (He convened the group at the request of CNN, which watched the speech with them.) Smith told me that he liked the speech, and thought Romney had helped himself, but that reaction was mixed within the group. p"I was the most enthusiastic," Smith said, "because there were several things that resonated with me that only an evangelical would notice. For instance, he talked about the coldness and deadness of religion in Europe. That is something that is talked about in evangelical churches almost every Sunday - somebody will say, 'The mission trip to Wales is starting next week.' Mike Huckabee might say something like that, but that's not something you would say unless you had a really good speechwriter or you were very tuned in to evangelicalism."br / /blockquotebr / pWho knows if it will stem the rising tide of Huckabee among the Republicans in Iowa.

The first is from November 28, when she misread a news report that said the following.blockquoteBAGHDAD, Nov. 27 -- American troops in Iraq killed at least strongfive/strong people, including stronga/strong child, emwhen they fired on vehicles trying to drive through roadblocks/em in two separate episodes over the past two days, military officials and witnesses said Tuesday. pBeyond that, at least 30 other people were killed or found dead on Tuesday, including three women and three policemen in Baquba, strongwho were killed by a suicide bomber /strongdisguised as a shepherd./blockquoteThe a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/28/world/middleeast/28iraq.html?_r=2ref=middleea storef=sloginoref=slogin"headline/a: blockquote35 Are Killed in Iraq, 5 by U.S. Troops/blockquote Here's Helen's spin on the news, begging not for a response so much as the heavens to open and President Bush to resign and hand the reigns of power over to Helen herself.Thanks to the Media Blog on National Review online for the pointers a href="http://media.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZjcxNDExN2YwN2FjMjI3MDYzZThjZGVjNTAwNGI yN2Q="to /athe a href="http://media.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZTI4ZWFlMDhmY2I4YjM4NzBhMGZhNjRjMjMyOGE 1OWQ="best /abits, and to the White House web site for the audio. pPlay clip.br / pNo Helen, it was not 35 killed by Americans, it was 5 killed by Americans, and 30 more murdered by emthe enemy./em Fool. Here's another. It starts with another media type asking for comment, and Helen comes back with her question. pPlay clip.br / pNo Helen, the President does not want Hillary elected. Fool. Finally, here she is at her most incomprehensible self, asking about troop withdrawals. How Dana Perino can put up with her on a daily basis is a mystery to me. pPlay clip.br / pMove on, indeed. Helen is a fool and should pull herself out of the White House Press Corps. She was interviewed by the a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/seema-kalia/my-favorite-mistake-hele_b_74740.html " Huffington Post/a the other day. Here's what the good Helen had to say about mistakes by the press:blockquoteemWhat would you say to a young reporter who, in their exuberance, published something that turns out to not be true?/em pIf it isn't too earth-shaking, then I would assure them, "This is what you did wrong..." and give them a second chance. But I don't think you get another chance if you make a mistake involving a big story./p pemDo you think technology is changing that? That a good reporter will always find a venue because there are so many media outlets now?/em/p pNo, but I do think it is kind of sad when everybody who owns a laptop thinks they're a journalist and doesn't understand the ethics. We do have to have some sense of what's right and wrong in this job. Of how far we can go. We don't make accusations without absolute proof. We're not prosecutors. We don't assume./p pemSo if there's this amateur league of journalists out there, trying to do what you do.../em/p pIt's dangerous./p pemWhat makes it dangerous? Isn't more information always better?/em/p pNot necessarily. Not if it isn't true. It could be out there and it could really muck up the whole picture. I'm not trying to suppress information; I'm just saying you have to be very careful./p pMy advice is simply try, as best you can, to only write the truth and try to check everything, and I think you just hope for the best. And, certainly, if someone gives you a story, I think you have to look a gift horse in the mouth. You have to find out why they're peddling it to you./p pAlways question why anybody does things. That's probably good advice for anybody./blockquoteSo Helen, if it's such good advice, why don't you take it yourself? /p pbr / h3Newt Gingrich on the CNN-YouTube Debate - emSelection Bias at the Network/em/h3/p pC-SPAN had Newt Gingrich on a href="http://www.booktv.org/program.aspx?ProgramId=8953SectionName=In%20DepthPlayMedi a=No"Book TV/a for one of their three hour interview sessions, talking about his books, politics, government, and the media. I spent the morning Sunday with the TV on listening while I did a little kitchen remodel. My wife asked why he doesn't run for President. I think his history as a target for Democratic anger and bile would make it tough for him to run. His negatives are just too high at this point. But he is a great thinker. He was asked his opinion on political debates. That's all Newt needs to go on a bender with a dozen great ideas in the space of two minutes and ten seconds. pPlay clip.br / pClearly if they get 5,000 questions to chose from, they can pick any political angle they want. And what they wanted was questions that put all Republicans on the defensive. Their claim that it was to separate the candidates rings hollow. They picked the silliest nuts they could find to embarrass the candidates. h3Moral Equivalence Run Amok - emon Slate's Political Gabfest/em/h3 pI listen to the a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2119317/"Slate Magazine Political Gabfest Podcast /aevery week, even though I disagree with almost everything they say. Last week they discussed the situation with the arrested English elementary teacher in the Sudan. This section starts off with David Plotz, who can barely speak out loud in front of his coworkers, rightly stating that the Sundaese are insane. (My advice to David: breath. It's called a diaphragm. Use it) But Emily Bazelon thinks that all fundamentalists are equally crazy, it's just that the Muslim ones qhave more power./q Sure, Emily.

The Pentagon invites around 50 bloggers to around 10-15 calls a week with an assortment of soldiers, officers, State Department Provincial Reconstruction Team members, and others who are dying to get the true story of Iraq out to the people of America. I was able to join one back on November 15, with BG Boozer, Deputy Commanding General for Multi-National Division North, talking about operation Iron Hammer and Its progress. The story was positive, but guarded. The military is having success reducing the violence and bringing essential services to the Iraqi people. We are training the Iraqi security forces to be able to take over when we leave, and the political progress is working from the ground up, if not the top down. All good stuff. Challenges remain with insurgents, special groups funded by Iran, and Al Qaeda holdouts. But the enemy is having fewer and fewer successful operations, and fewer good guys are dying or getting hurt. I took the call while riding the train from Portland to Seattle, so pardon the noise. I asked about Iranian weapons. Here's that question: pPlay clip.br / pThe General remarked early on that his son will be in Iraq next month, and I asked him what advice he gave him. The answer touched me deeply. pbr / pPlay clip.br //p pWhat a great piece of advice. I would give my son, if he were ever to serve in the military exactly the same suggestion.

It would probably be the worst cover of "Tainted Love" if it wasn't for the fact that everyone from Marylin Manson to The Pussycat Dolls have taken turns butchering it.

High As Kites

It says that toxicology tests on attempted suicide bombers Bilal Abdullah and Kafeel Ahmed, both 27, revealed they #8216;had been pumped full of the painkiller#8217;./p pThe reports appear back up the testimonies of eyewitnesses, who said the pair seemed unfazed after they slammed a Jeep into Terminal One and then set it ablaze. Ahmed, the bomb maker and an Indian doctor of engineering who set himself alight, is said to have showed no signs of distress despite suffering 90 percent burns./p pCab driver Alex McIlveen - who helped tack the pair - told the newspaper even a kick in the groin failed to put off the attackers. He said: #8216;The boy who was not on fire was just lashing out and he looked as if he was on something. He was not all there and you could see it in his eyes. When we were hitting him, he did not seem to feel a thing. For somebody to be on fire and not scream for help, he had to be on something. It#8217;s just not normal.#8217;/p pAnother of those who tackled the pair, Michael Kerr, who tackled Abdullah, said: #8216;I flew at him a few times in the face but he wouldn#8217;t go down. It was like he was on drugs.#8217; Off-duty policeman Stewart Ferguson added that Ahmed appeared not be in pain./p pThe newspaper quotes #8216;a source#8217; saying: #8216;The toxicology results showed both men were high as kites. It explains why they did not panic when they emerged from the Jeep and why the burning man was not screaming in agony. It was an audacious attack and it seems they needed something to give them the Dutch courage to carry it through.#8217;/p pThe Record suggests that the morphine was stolen from the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, where Dr Abdullah worked, adding that the Iraqi diabetes specialist would have had easy access to the powerful class A drug./p/blockquote pem Islamic terrorbots/em./p pI wonder how they got around that whole a href="http://www.israellycool.com/drugs.wav" target="_blank"#8220;drugs are bad#8221;/a thing a href="http://infad.kuim.edu.my/modules.php?op=modloadamp;name=Newsamp;file=articleamp ;sid=10255" target="_blank"in Islam/a. embr / /em/p
