The Anchoress has a few predictions for next year, and has a lengthy blog roundup of other predictions in the blogosphere.
She also posted the link to NRO’s symposium of predictions … make sure to check it out
I haven’t made such a list, because I really don’t have any predictions to make – I [...]

Political correctness – a New Year’s resolution

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 31, 2005 at 9:13 am » 10 Comments

Friday afternoon I was having lunch with my mother and the conversation we had while at lunch inspired me to write this post.
I had driven through one of the less, shall we say “scenic” parts of the city in order to get to an appointment earlier in the day. While we were eating [...]

 

President grants pardons less than predecessors

… and the USA Today acts like that’s a bad thing.
Is it? Seems just about everyone they quoted for the article thinks so.
Another part of this story I found comment-worthy was this tidbit:
Last month, some Senate Democrats cited the Iran-contra pardons as they asked Bush to rule out a pardon for I. Lewis “Scooter” [...]

Senator Jay Rockefeller is a phony

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 30, 2005 at 8:29 pm » 3 Comments

As if the media-fueled faux outrage amongst the usual suspects regarding the NYTimes piece that focused on the President authorizing warrantless wiretapping of foreign communications made on our own soil wasn’t enough, the ‘helpless Senator’ act being portrayed by Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) over his knowledge about the warrantless searches is enough to send [...]

(Scroll to the bottom for updates)
Fox is reporting just now … don’t have a link just yet. The Justice Dept. is now conducting an investigation into just who leaked the information about the NSA eavesdropping to the press.

I’m going to be out and about today running errands. Been trying to get some stuff in order this week in terms of cleaning out [...]

 

Farris Hassan’s day off

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 30, 2005 at 10:12 am » 2 Comments

Ok, I know that was a bad take off of the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (nor do I think it’s original, as I have no doubt that title has been used elsewhere) but I couldn’t resist
Seriously, did ya’ll see this story about Farris Hassan? 16 year old guy who’s parents were born [...]

 

A sense of the tide turning in our favor

Are any of you getting the feeling that I am that the tide seems to be turning against the naysayer defeatist Dems and RINOs in DC as well as those in our liberal media regarding our national security and overall war on terror?
The President’s ratings, while not great, are no longer in the 30s and [...]
