What's the best way to embarrass Senate Democrats on the war and get them in hot water with their base? Have them vote on a "cut and run" proposal. We've been down this road before and a lot of Dems will call it a cheap stunt, but frankly they're asking for it.

Sen. John F. Kerry (who, BTW, served in Vietnam - just in case you hadn't heard) has been kicking around a proposal to call for complete withdrawal from Iraq by the end of the year, a proposal similiar to the one Rep. John Murtha has made in the house. Kerry, who is obviously playing to the moonbats, would have the U.S. leave the new Iraqi government in the lurch just as they're getting on their feet and telegraph to our enemies, our allies and the rest of the world that our word is meaningless and we're quick to abandon our friends when the pressure from a vocal minority becomes too much to handle. Did I mention that Kerry served in Vietnam? Right before he betrayed his band of brothers on national television by pushing lies about our troops. And Senate Democrats are happy to let Kerry make his anti-war noise. That is, as long as they don't have to put their money where their mouth is.

"Oh shit! They're calling for our votes!"

So once again, the GOP called their bluff. Sen. Mitch McConnell introduced the measure for a vote and it crashed and burned 93 to 6. Democrats did what they do best. The retreated. Six Senate Dems (a who's-who of Lefty stalwarts that included Russ Feingold, Teddy Kennedy and Tom Harkin) stood firm, only to be left behind in the stampede by their 38 other colleagues.

Mark Coffey has the money quote this morning about this sham:

"A lack of guts, pure and simple; if you believe it, vote it, don’t weasel out by accusing the Republicans of calling you ‘unpatriotic’.."

UPDATE: 11:30am
The House just passed it's own resolution affirming the U.S. should not pull out.

Heh.

Or in this case, ventures completely beyond the borders of ridiculous.

Britney Spears apparently...gasp...got down on the floor in a Victoria's Secret store and...double gasp...changed her 8-month old's diaper!!!

Good God, where is the DCFS when you need them?!?!?

The singer was shopping in Mission Viejo, Calif., on June 4, where she purchased some pink g-string underwear with 8-month-old son Sean Preston in tow.

The tot needed to have his diaper changed and the 24-year-old plopped him down on the floor next to the cash register.

A shocked sales associate recalls, "We don't have the cleanest floors. She just put him down and changed his diaper and then handed it to a sales clerk saying, 'Can you throw this away for us?'

"We told her that we couldn't put that in our trash."

My guess is that little Sean Preston's diaper was so full of pee that it was practically leaking and while being rung up for the G-strings, Spears placed (not "plopped") her son down to give him a quick change because there wasn't anywhere else better to do it. God knows if she did it on a bench or somewhere else outside the store, she would have been surrounded by gawkers and stalking paparazzi. It probably took no more than a minute. Believe me, after eight months of changing diapers, you become quite skilled at doing it in a flash.

But the funniest part of this whole episode is the sale clerk - probably some high-falutin' tight-assed bee-yotch whose never been closer than a hundred yards to a wet diaper.

"We don't have the cleanest floors", indeed. Gimme a break. I'm sure the floor was cleaner than the baby's butt was. What probably got her panties in a bunge was the fact that she had to actually witness the process of baby being changed. God forbid!

I always get a laugh when someone cringes at a wet diaper, like it's filled with some kind of toxic waste. You can wrap those little suckers up into a neat, dry wad secured by the velcro straps and it's no bigger than a baseball. Your not going to get some kind of infection if you just take it and toss it in the garbage. Get over yourself lady!

Cheer up, Britney. You're going to have to deal with this kind of crap for years to come. Hopefully, she's keeping her sense of humor. Otherwise, she'll lose her mind.

I like when blog buddies alert me to posts they'd like to promote. To be able to link something creative that someone else did brings out the "lazy blogger" in me.

And in this case, Mr. Right has written a song parody that simply MUST be shared. To the tune of "American Pie", this one's very clever. Go check it out!

Because one never needs a reason to post a photo of a hot girl spanking, smacking or slapping another hot girl on the bottom (or butt, bum or behind, if you prefer). Although it's interesting to note that the brunette has a raised fist so she could be going for the proverbial "donkey punch". Shocking, simply shocking.

Posted by: Tuning Spork at June 15, 2006 09:23 PM (UiUPN)

4 Her name is Rosa Blasi (see: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0087726/). She's done mostly TV show appearances (i.e. Frasier, Caroline In The City, Drew Carey). She was also in "The Grudge" (which I haven't seen yet). She does have a resemblence to Daisy Fuentes, though. The blonde is Lisa Ann Walter. I looked her up, too. The only thing I've ever seen her in is "Shall We Dance" with Jennifer Lopez (yes, I saw that movie).

The "strategery" of the Kos-sack crowd is becoming clearer with regard to this year's challenge to CT Sen. Joe Lieberman. Normally, when you have a race for political office, you're goal is to win. For the Left, who are fighting to assert their control and influence in the upper echelons of the party apparatus, their goal is twofold: drive Sen. Lieberman from the party (as an example to those that they deem "off the reservation") and force the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to commit its support to Ned Lamont should he win the party's nomination in the August 8th primary.

With Lamont's increased poll numbers, Lieberman has a decision to make as to whether or not he should officially bolt the party and put his name on the ballot as an "independent". Lieberman would have to submit a petition signed by registered voters on August 9th (the day after the primary) to qualify as an independent candidate for November. Clearly, he couldn't wait until then, so he'd have to make that decision over the next seven weeks (preferably sooner rather than later). The Left is already pressuring Lieberman to make his move and if he chooses the independent route, he will likely alienate a number of Democrats who feel he is "bolting" his party.

The truth, however, is that he is being forced in this direction. Were Lieberman to run as an independent, the Democrats would certainly lose a Senate seat. Lieberman is so popular among CT voters overall that he is projected to win easily against Lamont and Alan Schlesinger, the Republican. And as an independent, he would no longer have any reason to associate with his former party. Surely, he could wield more power and influence by allying himself with the GOP.

So where is the logic in this course of action?

Ah, there is the rub. This puts the DSCC in an awkward position. Sen. Chuckie Schumer, the Committee's Chairman, has already publicly backed Lieberman in the race. But they back him as a Democrat. What if he becomes an independent?

"In order to financially support an indie Lieberman, does the DSCC need to have the CT Dem Party officially endorse Lieberman's indie run? Can the state party do that if Ned Lamont wins the Dem primary? Of course, the DSCC could simply sit out, something they regularly do in senate races where they don't believe party outcome is in jeopardy."

Either way, the GOP benefits from a weakened, divided Democrat party. So the Left is willing to pull a "D" out of the Senate count just to make a point. They go after a guy who reliably votes with his party 90% of the time but supports the GWOT - not for political gain, but because he genuinely supports it on principle. Now, they'll essentially push him into an alliance with the opposition.

Hey, whatever floats their boat.

Let's see that's 104 multiplied by 72 and you get...7,488! 452 raids carried out in the seven days since they greased the Z-man. That averages out to 64.6 raids and 14.9 dead terrorists per day.

OK, so I've slammed NetFlix in the past because of their "throttling" shenanigans. But since I finished with the old seasons of "24", things started to get a little better. Sure, they still pulled their little tricks now and again but being as I mostly watch movies on the weekend (with the occasional one just for me during the week), it wasn't that big a deal.

I thought I had seen everything. But I hadn't. Check this out. I had "Chicken Little" (for my son and his cousin to watch on Saturday) and "Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story" shipping on Tuesday for delivery yesterday. I go to the mailbox yesterday when I get home from work and there's Stewie but no Chicken Little. Hmmm. Ok, so I'll get it Thursday, right? Friday, the latest.

Not only did I NOT get "Chicken Little" but when I logged on this morning, the main screen asked me to "rate my return" for that movie. They recorded it as being sent out and returned within two days - which is physically impossible under their system!!!! The fastest turnaround can only ever be four days (e.g., sent Tuesday, received by me Wednesday, returned Thursday and received by NetFlix on Friday).

Now not only do I have to blow one of my rentals on a movie that I never got, I have to throw "Chicken Little" back into my queue and hope and pray that the damn thing ships today and delivers tomorrow so I can take it with me where I'm going this weekend. Otherwise, the kid gets screwed.

This is by far the worst thing NetFlix has ever done. Ok, taking a week to send the final disc of "24", season three, was the worst. But this is almost a tie by virture of the fact that 1) clearly the movie didn't ship when they said it did which is a complete and total LIE and 2) it potentially screws up my weekend plans.

BASTARDS!!!!!!

UPDATE: 12:00pm
This is bizarre. I never did "rate" the Chicken Little DVD (why should I? I never got it). I did however put it back in my queue - at the top to replace the one they say was returned.

I checked back just now and Chicken Little WASN'T in my queue. I don't mean it wasn't at the TOP of my queue. I mean it was no longer IN the queue. WTF?

I put it back in. The status of my next shipment, fortunately or unfortunately, still said "we expect to ship your next selection today". Something wasn't right, however.

I went back. I "rated" the Chicken Little DVD. I went out of the website. Then I went back in. Chicken Little was now in my "at home" list labeled "shipping today" and also listed at the top of my queue. Very freaking weird. Was rating the DVD acting as a "trigger" to release my next movie from the queue?

So now I have taken the second Chicken Little out of my queue. It should ship today and arrive tomorrow. So help me, if I go back this afternoon and it says "shipping Friday" I'll lose my mind.

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's relentless (and fruitless) pursuit of a well-photographed "frog march" for Karl Rove fizzled (or should I say, "Fitz-led"). The primary reason - his case is bullshit, always has been. The editors of OpinionJournal.com put it plainly:

"In the end, it seems Mr. Fitzgerald was trying to trap Mr. Rove over the minor matter of his failure to remember a conversation with Time reporter Matthew Cooper. But Mr. Rove is the one who later volunteered information about the conversation to Mr. Fitzgerald, after a check of White House records reminded him of it. A perjury or obstruction accusation based on that inconsequential discrepancy would have been prosecutorial misconduct.

The Rove decision also finally discredits the accusation that there was some grand White House conspiracy to smear Mr. Wilson. Mr. Fitzgerald has brought no charges concerning the original leak, which means there was no underlying crime. His entire case--and this entire "scandal"--has been distilled to charges of perjury and obstruction against one man, former Vice Presidential Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

And that one case comes down to nothing more than the fact that Mr. Libby's memory of conversations with three reporters differs from that of the reporters themselves. Think we're exaggerating? Here's how the judge in the case, Reggie B. Walton, summarized it in a recent ruling on evidence: "The charges against the defendant are based entirely [our emphasis] upon what the defendant has said was discussed during his conversations with these news reporters."

The image of Fitzgerald as a partisan (and incompetent) hack will be reinforced in the minds of anyone who does not refer to the President as Chimpy McHitler on a regular basis. And the lump of Fitzmas coal left yesterday in the Left's stocking will morph into a dry, stale turd.

And - once again - I will giggle myself silly.

What is thy bidding, my Master?

There is a great disturbance in my pants.

I have felt it as well. I am so excited! At last I will no longer be hounded by that bounty hunter. We are now free to pursue our plans, unfettered by this nuisance.

Excellent. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

I have almost completed work on the campaign weapon. Soon we can disable the internet and the Lefty blogosphere will be made impotent! No one will be able to read their psychotic ramblings and we shall have nothing to fear from the Democrats.

No, Lord Turdblossom. They must not be silenced. They will do our work for us.

I don't understand, my Lord.

Search your feelings. Their hatred for us will be their undoing. They will allow their rage to permeat all media - television, radio, the internet, IM. The negative surge will be devastating to their cause. And once again, they will fail at the ballot box.

I see. Then we should actually encourage them?

Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design. It is inevitable. It is their destiny. I want you to write a speech that is to be delivered some time in the coming months. I want you to mock them. Egg them on. They live for that shit. Heads will explode. It will be beautiful.

Yes, my Master.

Send a message to Grand Moff Tony Snow. Tell him to bait the White House press corps. Tell him to get under their skin. I love his press conferences. I feed on the anger and frustration that eminates from the MSM. They appear so whiny and petulant. With every passing moment they become more my servants.

As you wish, my Master. Turdblossom, out.

Dum, dee-dum dum. Dee dumdee-dum. Dum, dee-dum...

Umm. Lord Turdblossom?

Lord Turdblossom are you still there?

Sigh. Good, now I can out of this damned robe.

Now, I must contemplate my next move. As soon as the party goes down in defeat in November, I will step into the void. I will be...their saviour. All will bow down and worship me. Yes, everything is going as I have planned.

- Totally Committed: "Well, if that doesn't suck out loud...ten ways to Sunday! I've been patient thinking these charges were coming down, and now -- N A D A . F*CK."

- alyce douglas: "I have my fingers crossed that this is not over. this just really rots. Rove is a snake, and a very arrogant one. Shit."

- SharonRB: "This was the news I woke up to this morning. Not a great way to start the day. Hubby came into the bathroom and said "Do you feel like you just got punched in the stomach?" I sure did. All that anticipation for nil. Well, maybe he's going after bigger fish -- if he gets Cheney all will be forgiven."

- Kajsa: "I Can't Stand It!! The Bush Administration gets away with everything. What a friggin wake-up call ! I wasn't prepared for this, either. Right now Virginia, there is no Santa Claus.

- Union Label: "That is so f**king wrong" (my editing)

NRO's Byron York attended the YearlyKos Moonbat Convention this weekend. Their fearless leader, Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, juiced up the...ahem...crowd of roughly one thousand supporters (which would be comparable to a middle-sized high school assembly) with a rousing speech about all their past "victories". Now, the definition of "victory" for the Kos Kidz is not necessarily winning anything. It's more along the lines of, well, being noticed by the MSM media. York explains:

The odd thing was that Moulitsas’s victories weren’t actually victories. 2003 might have been the year of candidate Howard Dean, but 2004 was the year in which the Democratic presidential nominee was actually chosen—and Dean lost. And while 2005 was indeed the year Dean ascended to the top of the DNC, it would be a mistake to attribute his victory mostly to Moulitsas’s influence. And Paul Hackett, a Moulitsas favorite who ran for a seat in the House from Ohio in 2005—well, he lost. And so did more than a dozen other candidates who ran with Moulitsas’s support.

What’s more, some of them lost in part because they said the kind of things that bring cheers on the DailyKos but that turn off many voters. Hackett not only called President Bush a “chickenhawk,” he also said—echoing earlier statements by Moulitsas himself—that “the Republican party has been hijacked by the religious fanatics that, in my opinion, aren’t a whole lot different from Osama bin Laden.” Voters thought he was a bit over the top—just like some of the bloggers who supported him.

But that doesn’t appear to give Moulitsas pause—or reason for reflection. Instead, on Thursday night, with his face shining down on his followers from large screens on both ends of the stage, he fused the two worlds of the liberal blogosphere—the world of overweening confidence and the world of resentment at those who don’t recognize the Kossacks’ extraordinary power.

“Look at each other,” Moulitsas told his followers. “Look left and right. There have been so many efforts to marginalize us by the media and political elite because we had the temerity to feel passionate about politics. How dare us riff raff demand a voice in our democracy?”

They can’t keep us out any longer, Moulitsas said. We’re going to crash the gates. “People power is a wonderful thing. Everyone can be a leader. Everyone can be a strong voice. Everyone can make a difference. There has been far too much talent, far too much passion, far too much intelligence in this country marginalized by the establishment currently stinking up Washington D.C. And now, that talent has an outlet. It can no longer be marginalized.”

If this isn't a childish breed of narcissism, I don't know what is.

Michael Barone writes this morning about the appalling comments from Reps. Pete Stark, "Baghdad" Jim McDermott and others about the news of al-Zarqawi's elimination and how it's directly related to why Democrats keep losing.

"Nevertheless the Stark-McDermott-Kucinich reaction, echoed and amplified, often scatologically, by dozens of commenters on the popular dailykos.com and myDD.com left-wing Websites, tells us something disturbing about the Democratic Party -- and provides a clue why Democrats were unable to eke out a win in last week's special congressional election in the 50th congressional district of California.

It comes down to this: A substantial part of the Democratic Party, some of its politicians and many of its loudest supporters do not want America to succeed in Iraq. So vitriolic and all-consuming is their hatred for George W. Bush that they skip right over the worthy goals we have been, with some considerable success, seeking there -- a democratic government, with guaranteed liberties for all, a vibrant free economy, respect for women -- and call this a war for oil, or for Halliburton.

Successes are discounted, setbacks are trumpeted, the level of American casualties is treated as if it were comparable to those in Vietnam or World War II. Allegations of American misdeeds are repeated over and over; the work of reconstruction and aid of American military personnel and civilians is ignored."

But don't you dare question their patriotism.

2 As the Republican candidate opposing McDermott in the November elections, I offer my contrasting view on the death of Al-Zarqawi. - Steve Beren BEREN ON DEATH OF ZARQAWI Beren for Congress www.berenforcongress.com Statement by Steve Beren, candidate for U.S. Congress (Washington-7th CD), June 8, 2006: The death of Al-Zarqawi, leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, is good news. It is a severe setback for the terrorists, who seek to destroy the emerging Iraqi democracy. It is testimony to the capabilities of our military, and to the determination of our fighting troops. And it is a source of rejoicing for the Iraq people, who have suffered greatly at the hands of Al-Zarqawi. In October 2002, there was bipartisan agreement on spreading democracy and regime change. The congressional resolution authorizing military action stated: "it should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove from power the current Iraqi regime and promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime." Saddam is captured and on trial, and his regime is gone. And today, along with the death of Al-Zarqawi, comes the news that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki has completed formation of his cabinet, filling the positions of interior minister, defense minister, and head of national security. Those who say "we can't win militarily in Iraq" are wrong. We and our allies, the Iraqi people, will win. Democracy will succeed in Iraq. We should remain firm in the war against terrorism, spreading democracy in the Middle East and striking terrorism at its roots.

Somebody pinch me! The best record in the National League, and second best overall behind Detroit!

Remember the Monty Python "Dead Parrot" Sketch? The one where John Cleese pounds the stiff deceased bird on the pet shop counter? "Hello Polly!!!!! Wakey, Wakey!!!! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you!"

Well here's story almost as funny but it's true. A woman in Missouri attacked a dog breeder with a stiff deceased dog!

"A woman angry that her new puppy had died pushed her way into a dog breeder's home and repeatedly hit her on the head with the dead Chihuahua, authorities said.

The 33-year-old woman told police she had taken the puppy to a veterinarian, who said it was only 4 weeks old and needed to be returned to its mother. But before she could return the puppy, it died.

Early Wednesday, the woman went to the breeder's home, pushed her way inside and began fighting with the breeder as she tried to make her way to the basement to get another puppy, police said.

The breeder wrestled the woman out of her house to the front porch, where the woman then hit the breeder over the head numerous times with the dead puppy, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported, citing police.

As the woman drove away, she waved the dead puppy out of the car's sunroof and yelled threats at the breeder, police said. She later called the breeder and threatened her and her family, according to court records."

Every once in a while I like to run through the ol' official Ex-Donkey blogroll and weed out the dead wood to make room for some new blood (new to me, that is).

In the old days I used to scroll through the referrels on Sitemeter looking for good blogs to add. But I just don't have time for that nowadays. More often than not I come across sites from commenters or emails that I get.

Being as it's Friday, I wanted to highlight three new links on the 'roll:

1) Conservative Propaganda - Former USAF, now a self-described "computer geek in the DC area". His posting frequency is lower than average, but the content makes it worth checking back from time to time.

2) This Is Freedom Country - Let it never be said that the Ex-Donkey is not open to differing opinions. Here's a former Liberal turned Libertarian. Okay, that's about as differing as I can deal with. I often disagree with many Libertarians but they usually make good points. NRO's Jonah Goldberg once compared Libertarians to the celtic barbarians that the Medieval Britons would often hire out as mercenaries; they're useful in a fight, but you wouldn't want one sitting on the throne.
