"McCain needs to just get it over with already and put the D next to his name."
So does Hagel. He's supposedly on the Bush campaign team, yet he's doing all of this cross-country hand wringing about our Iraq policy, taking care never to offer any constructive solutions himself.
Hagel even said he didn't know if there would be enough votes in the Senate to renew Bush's tax cuts in the next Congressional session. He almost sounded pleased when he said it.

I like the current Iraq situation.
We are channelizing the enemy into a well-prepped killbox, and subsequently hamburgerizing them.
That's a good thing.

They have no patience, they want everything that they never had, and they want it now.Yeah, it's a mistake to think people in other countries are just like Americans. They don't behave like Americans for any number of reasons, and we shouldn't be shocked or surprised about this.
For example, here's one dimension that usually gets very little press attention: The wealth of nations is mapped by their IQ.

My rant wasn't at you King. (Should I say "Your Royal Highness? ;-) ) I'm sorry if it sounded like I was critical of your statement.

As an aside, Inside Politics now doing a segment on Kerry's sense of humor and his various TV appearances on late night TV. They aired a brief interview with Molly Ivins, and . . . ouch! I guess some years have passed since I last saw her, but even so, she looks like she's going bald, has sprouted a mustache that Saddam would envy, and generally looks scary-bad. What has happened to her? Is she known to be seriously ill?

I wish we could trade him for Evan Bayh(sp?) of Indiana.

Further to my post on Kerry's TV appearances, CNN just aired a clip of Kerry, joking with Letterman about the negotiations over the debates, saying he's agreed that "Bush can sit in Cheney's lap."
All joking aside, is that kind of snide remark worthy of someone running for president?

I think that if we gain less than 3 or 4 more Republican seats in the Senate in November, Lincoln Chaffee will jump ship to either Independent or Democrat.

Bush PR team need to be all over the airwaves countering this. This is also Kerry's latest attack theme. Bush team need to head it off or it will blow up on them like Abu Ghraib did.
Where are their damn PR people??????
This article is from one of their own party.

Guys like Chafee, Kennedy and (if any of you old timers remember, Rep. Fernand J. St. Germain, the noted DC swordsman) and my in-laws are the reasons I would only set foot in RI incognito.
I do love the stripers.

Further to this, I could imagine Chaffee jumping if he felt it was the only way to hold onto his own seat. Do we know if he feels vulnerable?

You really think Chaffee would really choose to switch to a minority with no prospects of regaining the majority any time soon? Perhaps I should have clarified what I meant: if we only gain one seat or so...and not the 3 to 4 we're hoping for.
Chaffee votes with the Democrats almost every time. He voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment and other Republican bills. He has now come out and declared his opposition to the President. He might as well join the Democrats. I would not put it past him.
Of course, all this is just my opinion.

Candy Stripers used to be my favorite catch.
But now that I am an OF....I spend more time dreaming about these stripers.....

The Iraqi people don't even have the services they had under Saddam Hussein.Yeah, Linc, it's a real shame. I hear the people-shredders haven't been in service since Saddam was ousted.
