Tet, yes that was the great forerunner of lies to come, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Needed that and a Peter Arnett and a fictional account plagiarized from WWII, "Destroyed the village to save it" to turn victory into defeat.

The Crimson is, after all, a college paper. They were just little kiddies a few years ago when Bill Clinton and cronies were heaping favor upon the very same Halliburton. Not to mention other cabinet-level Clintonians opening the doors to our nuclear laboratories, selling the Chinese rocket guidance systems so that their ICBMs can go straight to Los Angeles, giving nuclear reactors and technology to North Korea (if Kim Jong-il promised, cross his heart and hope to die, not to build nuclear bombs), attacking a church in Texas with poison gas and flame throwers, killing almost everyone inside, and putting themselves and everything in the White House for sale for $50,000 and up.

Jeb was on both sides of Terri issues -- first intervening to reinsert her tube (2003), then refusing to do so (2005). Jeb is thus a target for both sides, and it's like hitting a barn with a rock from two feet away. Nobody can miss.
He may be able to run some day, but not soon.

Democrats will NEVER vote for another Bush to be POTUS and I have a feeling that a lot of Republicans feel the same way.

The comments on Jeb remind me of a wire story I came across long ago when I was investigating the death of Vince Foster. Miz Hillary was in California with a full schedule for all of that week, making appearances to peddle her health care disaster. Abruptly, on Monday, she cancelled out of everything, no explanation given, and booked a flight to Little Rock for the next day. Tuesday Vincent Foster "committed suicide."
How did she know?? She knew what to do about it, too -- sent her troops into his office that night and heisted his files. Nothing like tampering with the evidence and obstructing justice, eh?
LOTS more skeletons in Miz Hill's closet :-) I hope she runs.

House is a diagnostician who takes on hard cases. He believes to treat fiirst and ask questions later. If it doesn't work, try something else.
House is a popular show on the Fox Network. It's regular slot is 9:00 on Tuesday.
He is also a very obnoxious maverick both hated and admired.

Some data:
1) In World War II, we were allied with the Communists and fought against the Communists' bitter enemies.
2) World War II was a good war. Everybody supported it.
3) In Vietnam, we fought against the Communists.
4) Vietnam was a bad war. Everybody was against it.

Thank you.
Nobody on either side of the aisle denied that Terri had severe brain damage. People on our side did -- and do -- wonder what injured her brain? This question obviously shapes our feelings about all subsequent concerns in the case. (Which is why the Left ducks the question 100% of the time.) If Terri Schiavo (as seems almost certain) was the victim of domestic violence; if she was a Nicole Simpson or a Laci Peterson, nobody could make a case that her assailant ought to be able to use the courts to finish her off. It is intellectually obscene.

Concerning this, Glenn Beck said that in the UK, doctors have started using the term bed blockers to refer to premature babies, because they take up space that would be better spent on healthy full-term babies. We'd say "useless eaters," I suppose, but it's still a shock to apply such terms to newborn babies.
And now we have the Anglican hierarchs saying it's OK to snuff babies who do not live up to somebody's specifications.
It won't be long before the old certainty, "There'll always be an England," is replaced by "Allahu Akbar."

Soon, they will start doing "cost and efficiency" studies and some "esteemed bioethicist" will propose something along the lines of Zyklon B.

:-)
I remember Albert Jay Nock quoting a credible source who related to him, matter-of-factly, that the press could drum up war fever in America in a matter of hours. I'm not sure when -- maybe the 1930s or early 40s? Could have been referring to World War I, I imagine. Nock died in 1945, so at least we know this was no later than WW II.
It was ever thus. You can find similar stories in the Old Testament :-) Today the Mullahs stir war fever in their mosques and you watch surplus young men, faces contorted with hate, chanting death slogans and waving guns. It is SO easy to turn them into would-be martyrs.

Well, Zyklon B WAS chosen for its humaneness as well as its 100% kill rate. Better than Grape Kool-Aid too. If we use lethal injection, as with those 31 elderly patients stranded by Katrina, it is still in the same great tradition.

I don't think Eichmann was all that concerned with humaneness. He was under tremendous pressure to increase efficiency and it was essential that he do it without using bullets.

Per my earlier comments about Alter -- I didn't have to wait long. (And don't you love the way the press call them "killings," not murders, and stress that O.J. was "acquitted" -- as if that made him innocent of two murders?)
O.J. Simpson talks about the murders
Yoohoo, Jonathan Alter. Michael Schiavo could be next. He's been lying longer than O.J. He could break any day. You and all the pointy-heads who bought into his cheap hustle are the ones whose reputation will be tarred. Think John Henry Abbott, championed by Norman Mailer, a wife-stabber for whom Susan Sarandon named one of her kids; or murderer Edgar Smith, championed by Bill Buckley, of all people; or Leonard Bernstein throwing cocktail parties for the Black Panthers; or orchestrated leftist mewling on behalf of such convicted murderers as Mumia Abu Jamal and Tookie Williams.
It all comes out, Mr. Alter, it all comes out.

What, then, do you think Zyklon B was without cost? Pol Pot armed his youth brigades with stout sticks to beat political enemies and their own families to death. They didn't pay one penny for those sticks. Now THAT is socialist efficiency of the highest order.
The following is SATIRE, so don't you leftwingers get any notions about borrowing this idea.
The next administration could start a new American youth corps to serve the nation. We could call them Pol Pot's Perky Hospice Helpers and equip them with baseball bats. That way they could hold down the Useless Eater problem AND get in some batting practice. The corps should be mandatory, especially for editors of the Harvard Crimson.
End of /satire.

Tidal wave?? I thought it was normal to lose some seats in the mid-terms?

Somebody tell Jeb Bush that Terri's still dead. So's the chance of me ever voting for him.
