An Israeli soldier scouts the area near the Israel-Lebanon border, July 20, 2006.

"Biden also said Bolton`s UN performance "confirms my conviction he is the wrong person for this job" and the administration should find someone else."

Bolton is a breath of fresh air and the best thing that ever happened to that nest of corrupt Hate America Firsters (a.k.a U.N.)

I would love Karl Rove to hold up this sign:

"DU, we're watching and listening!"

[prairiebreeze]

LOL! Good one. Sly, very sly.

Hard to understand manliness in this era...

Welcome to the metrosexual world. ;-)

I actually think we're getting about as divided as they were right before the Late Unpleasantness, as some people call it. At least no reps or senators have taken to beating the other with a cane like not long before the Civil War...

Just show them this:

If the OIC does anything, it will probably be after Israel completes operations. And remember, Iran is Shiite. They are not known for playing well with Sunnis.

I don't expect we'll see any state legislatures vote for secession - not with those big fat federal highway bills out there.

"I just took a nap and am going to take the dogs for the walk pretty soon so I can settle in"


That's a good idea. I rested up last night since it was a slow night. So I guess tonight will be an all-nighter. I think about what it must be like for a young solder who is about to go into this hellish battle. May God watch over them and confuse the enemy.

Oh, I've told her about that (the rapes in Africa and the Oil for Food scandal) and it's started to change her mind.

But when I tell her the UN was in Lebanon for 28 years (I didn't know it was even close to that many years), and looks at where we are, it might be the final nail in the coffin.

Now, why just any of the above things was a nail in the coffin, I don't know. She's an eternal optimist and wants to think the best of the UN.

I volunteer , just hand me the cane

Rove is realer than life to them. He represents the Boogie Man. And as a kid, you know how real he was. They can't decide whom they hate the most - but Rove seems to draw a lot of their spiteful venom.

[redgolum]

It would be amazing if there existed anybody who was all things to DU like Karl Rove...not even Gandalf, John D. Rockefeller, and Idi Amin rolled together could pull that one off...

LOL! So true.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Wouldn't mind if Ithaca and Bezerkley asked to seceed. Might even sign that petition myself...especially if they took SF too. Then we could wall them off.

[bwteim]

LOL, my dog gained five pounds because I didn't walk him;)

[babaloo]

Somebody at FNC has to have a serious talk with that boy (Shep). I nominate Brit.

[Peach]

An unnamed source says that Israel will enter Lebanon tonight.

Condi needs to take a switch to his legs. If she gave him that look she gets when she's unhappy about something, he might just pass out from the glance...I sure wouldn't want her mad at me!
