No. H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks NO.

Polimom thinks I should apologize for slavery.
This is just the sort of feel-good liberalism I worry about - assuaging feelings, instead of promoting action.
My paternal Great-great grandfather came to this country from Ireland, and spent his (short) life driving railroad spikes. His son (my paternal Great grandfather) was a Georgia sharecropper, paying his landlord [...]

Molly Ivins Dead at 62

per Libby, I see Molly Ivins has lost her fight — a fight she fought bravely:
AUSTIN, Texas - Best-selling author and columnist Molly Ivins, the sharp-witted liberal who skewered the political establishment and referred to President Bush as “Shrub,” died Wednesday after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 62.
Ivins was a liberal institution. [...]

Look

I’m busy as all get-out this evening, with various work related projects that would bore you all to death.
I’ve also all but given up Milblogging - there are other individuals out there who do it far better than I, and who are, quite frankly, better qualified to do it than I am. Poorly as [...]

Planet Haters

Joe Malchow has a great post up on our favorite politicized phenomenon:
— Listen, we’ve got global warming.
— Mmm.
— So will you sign on to this protocol?
— Nah. Gutting American industry doesn’t seem like a good idea to me.
— But the world is going to end in ten years.
— So how will not opening a few [...]

Don’t forget Iraq

In a post pointing out Jim Webb’s unsurprisingly low approval numbers in Virginia, Rob Port makes some good points:
Webb has certainly been outspoken in his opposition to the President’s policies on Iraq, yet here he is with a negative approval rating right out of the gate. What does that tell us?
It tells me that [...]

Archives for once, and wars of the past

I’ll be: I actually did an export back in the early days (May & June, 2005) of this blog…I’ll have to dig around now and see if I have one on a CD somewhere of the old Ain’t Done It! blog from 2003. I contacted the domain squatter who owns that domain now last [...]

Today’s Recommended Reading

Jim Inhofe:
There is no environmental issue that has become more politicized. Scientists have had their grant funding stripped, others have had their certifications threatened, and exaggerations have become commonplace. In fact, when a recent example of this was put on my web blog, there was so much concern that the 70,000 hits per hour crashed [...]

They are Women, Hear Them Roar

Kudlow at the Corner:
I was blown away by the results of a recent poll.
It purportedly shows that female college students are far more willing to enter the armed services to defend America than their male counterparts.
That blows me away.
According to a Family Security Matters.org poll, one thousand college students across the country were asked whether [...]

Bush Says “Democrat party” Was Just a Gaffe

Bush: No slight intended by 2-letter gaffe:
President Bush said Monday he wasn’t trying to disparage the party now running Congress by referring to it as the “Democrat majority” — as opposed to the “Democratic majority” — in his State of the Union speech.
“That was an oversight,” Bush said in an interview with National Public Radio. [...]
