Thank you once again for an oustanding job.
MTP sounds absolutely deplorable this week. The 9/11 Commission Chairs are such narcissists that they are unwatchable.
And for all the people whining that "we haven't followed the 9/11 Commission recommendations", with the exception of cargo inspections, I don't think any of the whiners have been specific and they seem to forget we've been safe for half a decade.

From the Technometria review of l776: "The biggest lesson to draw from the first year is “don’t give up.” There were a few ups for the American Army, but many more disappointments and it’s easy to see how many would have thought that there was no hope...."
I am reading this book now and the designation of "disappointments" does not convey how brutally awful that period was. Those who perservered were truly amazing individuals. This was the time, by the way, that some of my ancestors came to this country, on the wrong side. They were Hessians.

Why, oh why, does FNS have lamont on? Will they try to show what an idiot he is?
Did anyone watch bor last night? For once, his show wasn't too bad. Ellis Hennican mentioned FR as one of the extreme far-right blogs.

Mark Kilmer has posted his Sunday Morning Preview over at the relaunched RedState.COM:
For Sunday, August 13, 2006
Meet the Press (NBC): Host Tim Russert talks to Homeland Security Secretary Mike Chertoff; Hamilton and Kean, which stopped its official existence on August 21, 2004; and Ken Mehlman vs. Howard Dean, probably for some post mortems on "Lieberman vs. Ned, I."
FOX News Sunday (FNS): Host Chris Wallace talks to Secretary Chertoff and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Pete Hoekstra. Then he chats with Ned.
Face the Nation (CBS): Host Bob Schieffer chats with Chertoff, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts and Jane Harman of the House Intelligence Committee. And Ned.
This Week (ABC): Host George Stephanopoulos talks to Chertoff, then... THE BIG REUNION! Senators John McCain (R-Arizona) and Russ Feingold (D-Cheese), both of whom want your votes in '08, will be together on the same show, with Steph, to talk about their minds' versions of "the world according to..." the distinguished Senator.
Late Edition (CNN): Host Wolf Blitzer chats with Chertoff, Hegel and Reed, and his usual cast of thousands.
-----
(read more!)
His analysis of the guests is posted behind the Read More link. He provides a link back here to this thread again this week. WooHoo!
(Phsstpok) has a through and clever preview of these shows up at Free Republic, which I find both entertaining and informative. The thread is well worth the look.
I like the network we're building up on this subject. His Sunday afternoon review of the Sunday morning shows is also always interesting and informative. Unlike me he obviously sits and watches all of the Sunday morning shows then builds his review. I count on getting some things from folks on the thread for shows I can't catch, or pick it up later from podcasts or transcripts. I don't think I could stand to do that in one sitting (plus I'd miss AB's thread). This is a man with some moxie and true dedication!
On Sunday, as usual, I will post a link with the header to his review on ABs thread.
By the way, if you haven't checked out the revamped RedState I recommend it. Nice formatting upgrade and they appear to be adding more features, as well as an easier (for me) to navigate interface. They also have an MP3/podcast available for download of a RedState Radio interview with Rush Limbaugh himself.

RedState is a great resource. They are primarily oriented to the political fights, but they have some excellent links and commentaries on almost every topic of interest to us.
Their front page this morning currently has links up on:
and much more.
Think FreeRepublic, but actually organized as a shared blog. And they have free hosting of blogs, as well, so if you like the community you can sign up and post.
They also host some specific sites, such as Confirm Them (judicial nominations) and Right Shelf (news, views, reviews, and interviews on the world of books and ideas from a conservative perspective), among others. Confirm them is a particularly good resource during nomination battles.

Well, we have some added spin on the UK terror plot. MSNBC is now floating the spin that the US "pressured" the British authorities to move sooner than they wanted to. The initial item, of course based on anonymous sources, is simply laying out their case that it happened, tossing off mild explanations that the British authorities were content to monitor the suspects while they built their case. The US side supposedely put pressure on for an early arrest because they simply want to prevent the attack, even if it jeapordizes the eventual court case. Sounds like a reasonable argument to have. I bet it's the last time we hear anything remotely like it, though.
I can see several themes spinning off of this. First is that the US is dictating to their "lapdogs" in the UK. Second is going to be the attempt to legitamize the moonbat charge that this is all a fake, gened up by Bush and company to distract from some other issue or, as David Corn has accused, to try to make political points related to the Lamont victory. If this is the case watch for Lamont himself to take up this charge.
And if they do that it is an open declaration of war, with bullets and body count, on the elected government of the United States by the Democrat Party. People will die if that's the way they intend to play it. This could be a very scary development.
