Quote of The Day

"Great to have you back. Just don't steal the silverware!"

--President Bush greeting Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe on a White House receiving line.

Gen. Richard Myers: The desired effect was to kill al Qaeda.
Journalist: What did the U.S. Allies see when they checked the area after the strike?
General Myers: Dead al Qaeda.

To America's A Team - Thank You and God Bless You.

Great, Now The Kid Talks: Bill Gertz, in the Washington Times, says that the Marin County Mullah John Walker has suddenly decided life in that steel container at Fort Rhino is uncomfortable and he's spilling his version of the beans. We say its a nice try but refried.

Hit Him Again, Harder, Harder: Eric Fettman in the New York Post has the right take on Limey Loony Robert Fisk who understands why some wilding Afghanis wanted to beat him up. We wonder if he understands why he is now a one-man target rich environment to the rest of us.

Tick, Tick, Tick: U.S. and Allied Forces were patiently waiting for the enemy to surrender as you went to bed last night. Seems they are still at it. In a country where a wrist watch is a fashion accessory, Afghan experts are chuckling at the idea of these folks meeting a deadline.

Run That By Me One More Time: Robert Scheer, in a totally dishonest piece in the LATimes tries to tie Bush and Enron in a neat little package. This sent LCom's Dudley Do-Right, Igor, to the archives. Read Scheer first then click over to this piece from the Inter Press Service from l995. There is more where that came from.

Geraldo Gets Snippy About It: Asked why he's packing on his Afghan adventure, Geraldo said he refused to address the question and protested, "It makes me sound like a tabloid talk show host goes to war. It's so unfair." Isn't that exactly what he is?

Rudy To Be His Own Man: Proving once again he's smarter than your average bear , Sir Rudy says he's beyond working for someone else and will start his own company. There are those who think he should start his own country and would be happy to move there.

Today In History: Take a look at the picture at the top of the site. Picture, oh say, Bill Cohen, Madeleine Albright, Gore and Lieberman. That's what it would have looked like had last December 12 turned out differently. Take a moment to shudder then offer a prayer of gratitude.
