Random Musings
First, a mea culpa. For many, many posts I've been writing that former Ku Klux Klan Kleagle, Sen. Robert C. Byrd, Democrat, West Virginia, holds the record for the longest single speech while filibustering legislation. Though Sen. Byrd spoke for over 14 hours filibustering civil rights legislation in 1964, the record for a single speech is 24 hours and 18 minutes. Sen. Byrd is at least third on the list as another Senator once spoke for 22 hours. Facts I did not get wrong: Sen. Byrd was a Kleagle in the Ku Klux Klan. He is the only Senator in history to vote against Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas for the U.S. Supreme Court. He did use the n-word in a 2001 television interview - twice! - and defended the use of the word in the same interview. Democrats hold a majority in the United States Senate because Sen Byrd was re-elected in November 2006.
I'm not following the argument of anyone thinking there is a problem with the gobs of money that Sens. Clinton and Obama and Gov. Romney raised. If anyone was buying the message of Sens. Dodd and Biden or Gov. Huckabee, the latter three wouldn't have reported such dismal numbers. Partisans are contributing to the people they support. What's the problem with that?
Mr. Sam Fox, the man who supported 295 Vietnam combat veterans and was vilified for it, was appointed ambassador to Belgium by President Bush in a recess appointment. What better way to slam a Democrat-controlled Senate that left Washington, DC without funding the troops in Iraq?
Anytime liberal apologists, who reflexively remind us that three unknown Republican Congressmen accompanied Madame Speaker Pelosi to Syria, want to equate Madame Speaker Pelosi to three unknown Republican Congressmen is fine with me.
Unemployment hit a 5 year low, 4.4%!, last month . . . in case anyone was interested. The liberal media was not. Damn it, anyone at the White House want to mention it?
The head of J. Don Imus would be a tremendous trophy for Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Of course, bagging Don Imus does not educate a single African-American kid . . . but, Revs. Sharpton and Jackson will add to their coffers nonetheless so what do they care?
Just to remind everybody, according to the liberal extremists, the 2006 elections were a mandate by the American people to end the war in Iraq. Democrats are dithering over legislation to bring the troops home 17! months! from! now! Could they have more contempt for the American people? Or, isn't it so much easier to admit the elections were no such mandate? We will visit this again, I promise.
