I know you're not around at this time of night but here's day brightener for you for tomorrow morning.:-)
A thing of beauty, n'est-ce pas??

We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!
Good morning!!
Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
Members of the other party still don't get it.
As Republicans, we are reviled by that other American party for having the temerity to insist that America stand tall among the great nations of the world.
As Republicans, we are reviled by that other American party for having the temerity to insist that America have the right to defend herself.
As Republicans, we are reviled by that other American party for having the temerity to insist that no other country in the world be able to dictate how this Nation will protect itself.
And that's just for starters.
The other party would have it so that criminals are understood rather than punished. The other party would have it so that success financially is punished rather than rewarded. The other party wants to prohibit Americans from using our own country's natural resources to maintain and maybe improve our standard of living. The other party would rather see terrorists set free from Guantanamo than our soldiers be successful in wiping the scourge from the planet.
That is the Great American Left! That is the crowd that believes the United Nations is better than the United States.
In the campaign just concluded we heard that President Bush failed in the Iraq War because he didn't have a plan for the peace. First, it must be said that the author of this piece was, in retrospect, a bit slow in fashioning the correct response, but as they say "better late than never." The only reason the charge was made was because there wasn't peace, but if the war concludes, then we won't need a plan for the peace because, guess what folks, we will have peace!
In that same campaign, it was offered that average Americans pay too little tax, and rich Americans not enough. This is the view of the Great American Left. Truth is, Washington spends too much.
Now, the Great American Left would offer that we simply didn't understand their message. If we were to learn the nuances of what they offer, we would all genuflect in their direction, realize their majesty, and offer them the scepter of power from now until eternity. Or, at least this is the view of Nancy Pelosi--House MINORITY Leader.
Well, Nancy, here's something for you to ponder. We have heard your message. We Americans have learned the Great American Left wants to take our money and to leave us more poor, more weak, and more dead.
The Great American Left would rather pay out grants for studies to determine the root causes of crime than to provide guns, bullets, and body armor to our brave kids fighting to save Iraq and the world from terrorists.
The Great American Left would rather see that the Geneva Conventions apply to Al Qa'eda members even though these people are not military members and have no reservations about completely ignoring the rules of war on their part.
The Great American left sees a comity of nations that cowtow to the great United Nations. The United Nations, however, is completely unaccountable to the people of the world. Has anyone on the planet actually stood in an election for a representative to the UN? No. They are appointed by governments of countries--the sovereign voice of the various people. But the Great American Left, in their blind hatred of the regime ancien in this country, desire their leadership.
The Great American left would have us believe that the collective security offered by the United Nations would protect us, even though most of the Nation's in the UN either simply don't care about us, or are our sworn enemies (Cuba comes to mind).
The Great American left operates on the notion that the only way to deal with countries and groups that threaten us is to appease them--sort of like giving the class bully your lunch money in the hopes that he won't pound you, today.
That's the Great American Left.
And that's why they are not right.
Under leadership offered by President Bush, American has, thankfully, not been attacked since September 11, 2001.
Many of Al Qa'eda's elements are in less than perfect working order. Some parts aren't even working at all (for you folks on the left--that means DEAD!).
Terrorists in Iraq are on the run. It is not a good thing to be a terrorist and be sent to that country right now.
Lybia has agreed to give up its WMD program, and just this morning it has been anounced in the papers that Iran now has agreed to freeze its nuclear program.
The American economy is expanding and adding new jobs at a healthy clip.
But in the end, maybe we'll acknowledge one argument of the Great American Left--ok, maybe George W. Bush wasn't elected in 2000. That would mean that he can stand for and win re-election in 2008.
Nancy Pelosi--America has heard the message of the Great American Left. America understands that message, very clearly.
That is why George W. Bush is President, and Senator Tom Daschle is going home.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause the Chairman.`
Thanks for posting the snippets from NRO. Interesting stuff. I'm anxious for the books to come out.
I'm yawning,, it's time for me to get to bed.
Night. I can't wait for the books to come out either. I might even read some from the other side, if only to read the dirt on Kerry and his wife. I am so shallow.
I think I will have to look for new bookcases to hold all those new books coming out.
Now I'm REALLY off to bed. Rest Well.
That's too bad, especially since you all worked so hard during the campaign season. It would have been a nice little reward to party and attend the festivities.
Dirt? Where???
On Kerry? I read the Newsweek series on the campaign, there were little nuggets of dirt here and there on the two lovebirds, John and The-Ray-Sa. Apparently she put crowds to sleep with her meanderings. Not that we would have known that, with the non-reporting the MSM was doing about that campaign.
How's your daughter doing?
I know you're not around at this time of night but here's day brightener for you for tomorrow morning.:-)
A thing of beauty, n'est-ce pas??
Still lots of issues that need to be resolved but for the moment she's doing okay.
I'm going to call it a night, it's been a long day, and tomorrow is another one.
Good night Sweetie!!
Good night! I'm glad to hear she's doing a bit better.
Wow, the Iggles sure posted a decisive win this evening.
Sorry to have missed you. I hope your daughter is doing OK. I'm off to bed. Talk to you all later.
And I spent most of it packing or flying. Our flight was over an hour late getting here tonight. And then the cab driver got lost. Fortunately, the Billeting office sells beer. So I bought one, and am now unwinding. Today has been a LONG day. And I have a PT test tomorrow. Joy.

Anyone up and about yet?
Yes,
Are you still up or just getting up?
I slept for a couple of hours. Lots of stress so now I think I'm up for good.
Sorry to hear about the stress K.
I know full well how it affect sleep, or lack thereof.
Just one hour until I'd have to get up anyway. Maybe I'll go out and have a nice, big breakfast before I go to work.
Have a good day, Neets.
You too sweetie.
