Where was Dick Durbin when we needed him?

On The Excreble A.I.

CASE CLOSED. I'm no longer interested in hearing anything these venal people have to say. PERIOD.

The rest of the story...

'Kos the the fascifists have no brains.

But the true measure of the horror did not dawn on me until me and my fellow passengers were left taxiing on the O'Hare tarmack for over twenty minutes in the Auschwitzian Airbus A320 cattlecar, in temperatures approaching 85 degrees, not knowing our fates or whether we would make it to our fundraising dinners.

Much too stupid to be a United States Senator.

We have faces splodey-dopes before -- and of a much higher relative mettle.

Rummy Shamelessly Stolen

from Radio Blogger (mp3):

Don Rumsfeld explaining the progress in Iraq.

In just over four minutes, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld spontaneously orated a column which puts the American media to shame. If you ever wanted to know how Iraq is doing, in proper perspective, read and listen to this from earlier this morning:

On the political portion of it, that's obviously not the business of this department, but I can comment on it. The general feeling is as follows: That the election was held January 30th. It took a number of weeks to put a government together. Not a number of years, but a group of people, with no experience in democracy at all, took a number of weeks...a few months, to put together a government. A lot of tugging and hauling, a lot of negotiating about what it would mean in the assembly, a lot of negotiating about what it might mean with respect to the constitution drafting, a lot of negotiating about what it might mean as to who's in what ministry, and for what reasons, and the presidential council, I believe they call it. And they came to a conclusion. When the conclusion was made and announced, one could look at worst case and say it wouldn't be unreasonable to say the Shi'ia would say, okay, Sunnis, you didn't play in the election. You gave it to us for twenty-thirty years, and we didn't like it, and now it's our turn, and we're going to give it to you. Quite the contrary. The Shi'ia, at the top leadership down, have been saying, look. We want to have one country. Let's reach out to the Sunnis. Let's include them. Let's find a way, even though they made a mistake and didn't participate in the election. Let's see that they're involved in this. Let's get them involved in the drafting of the constitution. It's exactly the right instinct. The Sunnis, instead of saying, okay, we didn't get in the election. Maybe it was a mistake, maybe it wasn't. But now, we're not well represented, and we're not going to play, and go separately, and try to break the country into three pieces. The Sunnis didn't do that. I mean, everyone you talk to said we made a mistake. The Sunnis made a mistake. They should have gotten involved in the election. They didn't get involved in the election. They now know they should have gotten involved in the election, and thank the good Lord the Shi'ia are reaching out to them, and the Kurds are reaching out to them, and trying to include them. Now, what does it mean next? Well, they're going to have a lot of to'ing and fro'ing on the constitution. Fortunately, they made a lot of those decisions in the transitional administrative law, the so-called TAL. And it's there as a guidepost. It's not a mandate. It's not a speed limit or direction, but it is generally agreed to. And so it'll serve, I would think, as at least a touchstone for the very complicated task of trying to find a piece of paper that people, who have had historic hostilities to each other, that have been held together, not through love or respect, but through vicious dictatorship repressing them. That's how they've held together as a country. And now they're going to look for a piece of paper that will do that for them instead. Instead of a vicious dictatorship. Instead of repression. Instead of a police state. Instead of mass graves, filled with people...bodies, tens of thousands of bodies. There's going to be a piece of paper that those people are going to have to put their faith in. That is an enormous thing. And they're going to be debating that, and tugging on it, and to'ing and fro'ing, and they're going to, in my view, come up with one...just a minute...just a minute...And then they're going to take that to the Iraqi people and have them vote on it. And another 26 million people will have a chance, or population, or whoever's eligible to vote, men and women alike. Some large number is going to have a chance to go vote on that. And then, it'll be there, and then they'll vote on whatever that constitution says, for a president, or a prime minister, whatever, representatives, they'll have a chance to vote on that in December. This is amazing. This is historic. This is a gigantic step forward. This ought not to be dismissed or trivialized. This is a big deal. Will it happen? I think it'll happen. Can I guarantee anything in life? No. I can't. No one can. It's their country.

Amen.

Eurabian stupidity in a hypocritically deranged nutshell...

The Eurabian Thought Police

Are beautifully vivisected by Wretchard:

Perhaps the real reason ideological propositions are set up as "obvious" and "irreversible" facts is that they are actually so intellectually fragile they must be exempted from questioning. That's why the very act of discussing these unsupported articles of faith is declared a form of "intolerance" or "hate speech" so as to make the whole ideological edifice self-supporting. But as the recent rejections of the European Charter in France and the Netherlands proved, bankrupt ideas however armored with Newspeak are bankrupt all the same with one additional property. Newspeak coated projects are prone to a suddenly catastrophic -- and to the press -- and inexplicable collapse.
