Former Captive Targets Captors There's no denying the man is right to do it. It's really the only way to get their attention. Don't run, fight back. He is financing a private operation to track down and eliminate his captors. You go guy. The New Stockholm Syndrome. "Tough Swede" turns out not to be an oxymoron after all.

Schroder Loses Confidence Vote I like the sound of this; Painful end to his chancellorship, Schroder era was drawing to a tortuous close. Torture? What are they doing over there? Just torturing their citizens with a limping socialist economy, that's all. Schröder begins painful end to his chancellorship. The Schröder era was drawing to a tortuous close after Germany's chancellor lost a vote of no-confidence. [Telegraph News | International News] Note to Kate Connolly in Berlin. If you lose a vote of no-confidence, doesn't that make you a winner? He actually won a vote of no-confidence. 12:53:55 AM    comment [] trackback []

Will Liberals Experience Withdrawal? Watching Ted 'roll-back' Kennedy and the liberals start to go crazy over the prospect of Bush having to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court is hilarious. It is also indicative of how much they depend on the courts to implement their agenda. When in reality, it shouldn't be any big deal. After all, judges don't make law, they just interpret it. It's going to be painful to watch these folks when they begin to see that they'll have to rely on their constituents, the voters, to enact their vision instead of the judiciary. They will literally experience withdrawal. But that's OK. We will all be better off after they recover. Well, IF they recover. I wouldn't wait more than about a minute to invoke the constitutional option too. The nominee has to have the Senate's up or down vote. That's the process. It should not be unusual to expect a President to pick one of his own. Clinton picked two, both reliably left. That's just the way it should be. Other than qualifications for the job, the political ideology of the person should be irrelevant. Anything else would be to politicize the process. 12:31:16 AM    comment [] trackback []
