It coulda been worse, cat – some Clinton pets have been known to find themselves thrown under a bus…

Is the opportunity to turn on a local radio newscast and hear “the accused is currently serving time for throwing a rock at a federal buliding in Fargo”.
Heh.

Eh….. what?

Kyoto … goodbye.

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said the environmental proposals are too vague to defeat the government on.

To you progressive true-green believers still worshipping at the altar of Kyoto – how’s that working for you?
Elizabeth May has just conceded she no more believes in “catastrophic global warming” than she does the tooth fairy. Like Stephane Dion and Al Gore and so many others, when a politician signals that their personal political fortunes trump “saving the planet”, I don’t think you have to worry too much about the planet.
No wonder Cherniak is closing shop to pursue other elvin opportunities. The fairy tale was wearing thin even for him.
More: “At most [the Liberals] have two surrender-monkey acts to perform to keep the government in business before they become a Liberal laughingstock.”

According to Air America host Randi Rhodes was beaten badly while walking her dog on Sunday. Of course, it was obvious who the culprits were…

“Is this an attempt by the right wing hate machine to silence one of our own,” [AAR late night host Jon Elliott] asked. “Are we threatening them. Are they afraid that we’re winning. Are they trying to silence intimidate us.”

It prompted an outpouring of sympathy in the comments – “I hope the dog wasn’t harmed!” … “Maybe if she were armed it wouldn’t have come to this.”… “I thoughr Air America was bankrupt?”
UPDATE!

“She, in fact, fell down and injured her teeth outside of a Midtown Irish bar at around 6 o’clock Sunday evening after downing about fourteen Ketel One Bloody Marys. She was abusive to the barstaff and generally gross, crass, loud, and pretentious.”

I still hope the dog is OK.

You can bid here.

Just to know he had his hopes raised.

They get stuff like analagees and stuff like that.

30 years ago;

Thoughtful people worried that we had reached “the limits of growth,” the point at which the world would begin running out of natural resources. Prime minister Pierre Trudeau warned Canadians, most notoriously in his Dec. 28, 1975, end of year interview: “We haven’t been able to make it work, the free enterprise system.”

SABC News;

[South Africa’s] Health minister, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, says cooperation between South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique has led to a 90% reduction in new malaria infections in the three countries.
Tshabala-Msimang says this has been achieved through the use of Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), an agent that kills the malaria-carrying mosquitoes. She was speaking at one of the commissions of the People’s Assembly in Bizana, which was discussing the health situation in the country. […]
“… They wanted to tell us that we mustn’t use DDT for indoor residual spraying because it destroys vegetables and… fauna and we just said, ‘Look in Europe they conquered malaria because they used DDT’… The Italians told us that, ‘Don’t listen to what they are saying, we conquered malaria because we just killed the mosquitoes’ (sic),” said Tshabalala-Msimang.

Good for them.

[On Sept. 20]“… the UN Human Rights Council launched a special agenda item singling out Israel for permanent indictment. The special debate criticizing Israel allowed the Palestinian representative to take the floor and accuse Israel of “atrocities”, Syria to charge Israel with “Judaising” the Golan, and the Islamic group to protested Israel’s entry of Syrian airspace. Cuba on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement complained Israel was excavating around the Al-Aqsa mosque. Iran, Kuwait, Algeria, and Venezuela and others also joined in condemning the Jewish state.”

University;

“Yes, diversity in all things. Except, of course, in thought. Presumably, Professor Stanton is also “stunned”, “appalled” and “deeply offended” by the over-representation of, say, gay people in the spheres of arts and drama, or of women in the caring professions, or of Indian employees in Indian restaurants. Perhaps some recalibration of those industries is also in order, to ensure suitable diversity.

The left’s alignment…

with Islamic fascism…

…comes full circle.

He goes on to call Noam Chomsky “among one of the most capable of those from your own side,” and mentions global warming and “the Kyoto accord.”

“My master was so kind to me that I was always glad to do his bidding, and proud to labor for him as much as my young years would permit.” *
Update –“How we flyin’ today, massuh?

Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Ben Sargent was arrested in 1998 ” and subsequently convicted of public lewdness stemming from an incident at an Austin adult bookstore near the University of Texas.”

“The merger of the Left & Islamofascism continues apace.”

And follow the rules – because cheating is for Liberals!

Keep your eye on the sky today.
The pigs, they be a-flyin’.

Not anti-war. On the other side;

Many Democrats have anticipated that, at best, Petraeus and U.S. ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker would present a mixed analysis of the success of the current troop surge strategy, given continued violence in Baghdad. But of late there have been signs that the commander of U.S. forces might be preparing something more generally positive. [House Majority Whip James] Clyburn said that would be “a real big problem for us.”

Discussion at NRO;

The New York Times ran a piece Monday by two non-“neoconservatives” Michael O’Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack arguing that the war in Iraq can be won. Is this indicative of some kind of mood change afoot? Could we really win this war? Could the rhetoric in Washington really change? National Review Online asked a group of experts.
