Yesterday Rush did a good job of getting to the facts of the Harken and Halliburton nonsense.

On his web site he chastises Pubbies in Congress and the RNC for allowing the dems and their handmaidens in the press to beat up on President Bush and Vice President Chaney. He also gives it to the dems and the press for trying to drag down the economy. I've been real unhappy with Rush lately but on this issue he did what he does best. He cut through the fog of distortions, half-truths and innuendos and provides good information the press must have had but chose to ignore.

If we can do it, you can do it,RNC

Mo, The President has an East Room press conference scheduled for this afternoon. Something tells me he has had enough of this nonsense.

Bush faults 1990s 'binge' for business scandals

"The administration is expected to continue to point out that the corporate accounting scandals that have come to light in Mr. Bush's first 18 months in office actually began in the mid-to-late 1990s, when Bill Clinton was president. Companies inflated revenues to keep their stock prices sky high with the rest of the market.

Their schemes began to unravel in March of 2000, when the Nasdaq crashed and fell 48 percent that year.

Hehehe Mornin'

So I understand.

Hootie Johnson is in a strong position. He has a waiting list full of the billionaires who have been waiting years for a membership, and a tournament that is such a big draw that no network or sponsor is gonna drop it for any reason.

Exactly. They could not have picked a worse target. I love it.

The Creator supposedly looks after drunkards and the United States of America

Indeed. Thank you, Darlin', for the article. It explains a lot regarding Brown and Blair that I never could quite understand.

I thought you would enjoy it. Baronne is a favorite of mine and IMHO one of our best political writers, too.

What times does it start??

File this one under, What could they have been thinking ? Military jets escort plane after passengers seen passing notes

I thought I heard it was sometime this afternoon but I think that may be wrong. In fact, it may be about to start.... 11am EDT. Possibly.

[Darlin']

Whoops...... 11am CDT/ 12N EDT

Looks like the Rats are losing their case ..

I was surprised to find out that NORAD had scrambled fighters to escort airliners over 400 times since 9/11.

lol .. I had to check the clock twice

[Darlin']

We're not messing around with this stuff but the lack of press coverage probably has more to do with the President's low key handling of the situation. No hysteria, no grandstanding, just doing his job.

[Darlin']

I just checked the White House web site and 12N EDY is the scheduled time. :)
