I keep forgetting to add you to my "mental" ping list..thanks for having me on yours.

Were you on the thread last night that was about how Lindsey and McCain have both said that NO WAY are they going to back down.

Bush seemed like he was trying to tell them today..that he will give them one more chance to work WITH him, and not against him.

We just have to pray that the vote against Bush isn't veto proof.

We need a new law that states "No current member of congress shall run for the office of President of the United States". This would reduce the posturing by presidential hopefuls and their mostly inappropriate legislation influence.

Condi could get away with it...but she has better taste.

In a letter Friday to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Graham asked Rice, who this week defended the president's plan as legally sound, whether she would be comfortable with Iran imposing a similar restriction if trying a CIA paramilitary operative.

What a grandstanding fool.

This is sickening - that a US Senator would 1.) draw a comparison between a CIA undercover operative and a terrorist pig, and 2.) think that Iran would afford any kind of a fair trial should said operative actually be caught in an act of sabotage or other violence.

Enjoy the luxury of these asinine debates over legal niceties now, folks; the day is coming when western civilization will be backed into a corner and such discussion will be completely moot. Until we prosecute this war against radical Islam with our full fury and might the insanity and carnage will drag on indefinitely.

You should hear her talk these days...she says Ya-know 3 times in every sentence. I think she's breaking and will be discovered for what she is. We should run clips of her sayin yah-know over and over. Its not something an intelligent Senator should say.
