		<description>With the MSN having become primarily Op/Ed rather than journalism, we can hardly hope that anyone interviewing these shmucks would dare ask, &quot;If you are so opposed to the war and opposed to the President, why doesn&#039;t the Senate call for a vote to end funding and renounce the authority to go to war?&quot;

The answer, of course, would be something like...
&quot;Well Tim, to be very honest with you, we Democrats are pretty doggone gutless as you know.  We are the poster children for short-term-memory loss, so anything we say condemning the Administration may be exactly the opposite of something we said 3, 5 or 10 years ago on Iraq; heck, we can&#039;t remember what we said last week because we shred our talking points-with the exception of those that end up on T-shirts or bumper stickers...you&#039;ve seen the bumper stickers haven&#039;t you Tim?...sure you have-you&#039;ve got one on your personal car..he he he...here, let me give you a shirt...&quot;

		<description>Hmmmm...does anyone recall a headline reading &quot;Democrats blocking the Senate from debating&quot; when the Dems filibustered one judicial nomination after the other?

If you can find one, I&#039;d love to hear about it.

But I won&#039;t be holding my breath waiting.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;In a nutshell, the Dems don&#039;t want to debate any competing resolutions.&lt;/em&gt;

I would put it, &quot;In a nutshell, the MSM and their Democrat pets don&#039;t want to debate any competing resolutions.&quot;

We have been down this road of MSM lying before. According to the MSM, only Republicans are corrupt, DA Mike Nifong is telling the truth, WMDs found in Iraq are mysteriously not WMDs, only conservative white Christians are racists, the Fairness Doctrine somehow applies only to Rush Limbaugh and other conservative radio talk show hosts (and not to ABC, NBC, and CBS), Koran-flushing is the #1 sport of the US Army, Jamil Hussein (or whatever name he/she/they are currently known by) is a credible eyewittness all over Baghdad to events that never happened, &quot;fake but accurate&quot; memos should decide a presidential campaign, monitoring international phone calls to terrorists is &quot;domestic spying&quot;, abortion is &quot;a choice&quot;, Gitmo=Gulag, &quot;fauxtography&quot; is a valid form of photojournalism, homophobes are lurking under every bed, Prudential is run by neocon chickenhawk warmongers pushing the war in Iraq in their Super Bowl commercial, prayer in school is a Christianist theocratic plot, and (don&#039;t you &lt;em&gt;dare&lt;/em&gt; laugh on this one) Katie Couric&#039;s IQ is higher than her age. 

It is not surprising that the MSM now gives us &quot;Free Speech is Censorship.&quot; Are you not a crackhouse Democrat like Howard Dean &amp; Co.? They you are guilty of .... something..... somwhere ..... somehow .

Welcome to Pelosi&#039;s America.</description>

		<description>Relax everybody. Eventually the Senate will be debating a meaningless resolution. Ole Mitch McConnell is too clever to let the GOP seen as &quot;blocking&quot; the debate, and the Reiders want to debate. So the blaborama will begin sooner or later.

Everybody will be saying what they&#039;ve said before and before and before.

&quot;Vanity of vanities,&quot; sayeth The Preacher. &quot;All is vanity and a thirsting after wind.&quot;

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Quick Linkage For This Afternoon&lt;/strong&gt;

I&#8217;m in the middle of a lull in operations here, so I thought I&#8217;d throw out a few quick links before things pick back up.
First, Jim reminds us that today is Ronald Reagan&#8217;s birthday.  Happy birt&#8230;

		<description>Baklava states:
&lt;b&gt;Black is white and white is black to these people. &lt;/b&gt;

Unless of course your a white republican wanting to join the black caucus to better support your district majority of blacks in your district.

Then white definately is NOT black.

Because it&#039;s not racist or anything to exclude everyone but blacks......**rolls eyes**</description>

		<description>Hmmmm...lets see, according to the NewSpeak that is the foundation of liberal Democrats and their agenda, limiting debate to one single pre-selected viewpoint is &quot;encouraging democracy&quot; whereas voting to prevent this and force a wider debate with more substance than a one option approach is &quot;stifling democracy.&quot;
