Thanks Eleanor...tonight is *the* night...
HEADS UP . . .
I'm 99.9% certain that Bill O'Reilly plans to interview the President tomorrow and then air the results of the interview on his show over a three-night period -- Monday (10/16), Tuesday (10/17), and Wednesday (10/18)!
Bill O'Reilly, 8 PM EDT on the FoxNews Channel

IF ALL OF OUR REPUBLICAN REPS AND SENATORS HAD THE ATTITUDE OF REPRESENTATIVE KLINE (a former Marine), WE WOULDN'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE RESULTS OF THIS YEAR'S ELECTIONS:
KLINE SIDES WITH BUSH — AND HE'S NOT APOLOGIZING
Representative has a passion for defense and has aggressively defended his House seat
BY Meggen Lindsay
Pioneer Press
You won't hear U.S. Rep. John Kline distancing himself from President Bush or the Iraq war this campaign season.
Never mind the fast-dwindling support for both or the fact that his opponent has hammered his stance for some 15 months. The former Marine and two-term House member knows who he is and what he stands for.
"I think it's wrong to say that because the president's approval ratings are down, I'd better distance myself from him," Kline, 59, said. "No, not if you think he has been doing a good job and is a man of courage and principle and has been acting on that. You shouldn't run from him."

SETTLE-UP SUNDAY
Posted by Hugh Hewitt | 9:37 AM
Didn't give yesterday because you forgot? Slipped your mind?
You don't care about the conduct of the war or the future of the Supreme Court?
The president and Rove are confident, and it puzzles the MSMers who read their own copy.
Here's a clue: The Minneapolis Star Tribune's regular descent into polling madness shows Tim Pawlenty far behind his challenger in a result which causes Gopher State voters to guffaw at the Strib's transparent agenda journalism.
In short, many pollsters either tweak the results or don't know how to poll in the communications world in which we now live. The Strib's "polls" are the worst of the lot --documented often by Powerline's Scott Johnson-- but there are bunches of bad ones out there.
So while it matters to take in all data, trust the party pros to know where to spend and follow their lead, which will take you to first to these four:
Burns for Senate.
DeWine for Senate.
Santorum for Senate.
Talent for Senate.
These are federal races with limits which is why your contributions matter here more than in a state race with different rules.
So quiet your conscience and dig deep for the final three weeks.

HOW TRUSTWORTHY ARE THE POLLS THIS YEAR? (UPDATED)
10/13 12:34 PM
So – in Missouri, take your choice – the Rasmussen poll that has Republican Jim Talent up by 1, or the SurveyUSA poll that has Democrat Claire McCaskill up by 9.
Two polls, conducted by two respected organizations around the same time, two starkly different results. (The SurveyUSA poll shows a 25 point swing among independents from Talent to McCaskill in the span of a month.)
It's possible that McCaskill is up by a few at this moment, and the two polls represent either side of the margin of error. But what are the odds of Survey USA's sample giving McCaskill her best possible positioning, and what are the odds of Rasmussen giving Talent his best possible position?
As I’ve mentioned from time to time, I have a theory that the traditional system of telephone polling is broken. I suspect that caller ID, cell-phone only homes, the general public’s busier lifestyle (who has time to spend a half hour answering a pollster’s questions?), suspicion of pollsters and the media, the spread of push-polling and a host of other factors have come together to make it nearly impossible to get a good representative sample.
(This, of course, presumes all the polls we read are actually conducted. As we saw, one pollster recently pled guilty to making up results.)

Joining in prayer now for your Jonathan.
Thanks you two...it's less than 2hrs away.....
What can I say...that is perfect...thank you..
Shame you couldn't have gone, ILW.
It was a glorious day .... watched it all .. LOVE fighter jets, and the Thunderbirds are awesome, as was Rummy and our courageous President. GREAT Dose, jonny .. thank you for all the more detailed Memorial info.
I wish there was a complete sequence of photos, showing Laura awaiting W's arrival .. and then her face when she saw the incoming chopper and then W exiting walking to her.
I didn't see any mention of what was happening at Camp David, that he had to come back from and then go back to it. Anyone know?
Prayers up on his behalf Nancy.
Your job - FAITH UP!
Thank you....
... praying for Mom, too ... for peace, and the assurance of God's good and perfect will to be done, in Jesus' Name, for Jonathan and all who are with him.
(He's got LOTS of angels with him, now, Nancy. !!)
I haven't, either. Been wonderin' tho. Condi was there today (maybe Saturday also; don't know).
It's almost time...they don't have too far to go into Iraq...it should be a short flight.....I wish he could call me when he gets there....lol....how many times have I told my son's to *call me when you get there so I don't have to worry*...lol
I am with you totally on that "call me when you get there so I don't have to worry" about THAT TOO. lol
He's going to be FINE!
(Even MORE major prayers for YOU!! OH.....how I know how you feel.....and I'm going to feel that way again too soon......)
Oh, oWf...I'll feel better when he gets in there safe and sound.....I'm just so thankfull that he is not in a convoy...he's been training for weeks as a gunner in a humvee. He was always so excited telling me about what he learned, my heart always sank.....but, you of all people know what it is like...
Oh, I did see your ping. It's just more fun to blame Jonny ;)
Our front lawn which is about an acre of rolling hill has that flag flying above it. When I'm outside I can hear it snapping in that Texas wind - gives me chills and a smile. Yes, I guess I'm a "flag bot". :o)
I read it I knew LOL but forgot to watch so I am as guilty
