Is there a new Depression on the Horizon?
If you go to msnbc webpage, you would see alot of Bad news for America. We are either being blown up by Iraqies or we are being blown around with hurricanes. So you might say we are in a hole a dip one and it continues to get deeper. I admit I'm a republican and President Bush could have done more, to advid this. I mean I do think he is a good president, but he ain't to concerned for the economy and the bird flue. So someone needs to do something right. It's not all bush's falt can you think of a good democrat? I can't. Insurence policy's are going through the roof, cause of these hurricanes. National Hurrican Center says we can expect more storms before this year is said and done.

Here's One I Won't Be Seeing ''The North Country''
Here's One I Won't Be Seeing
I shuddered when I heard that a movie called North Country was being made out of the Jenson case, in which a group of female miners sued the owner of a taconite mine in northern Minnesota. I happen to know something about that case, which inspired a book called Class Action. The movie was said to be loosely based on the book and the actual case, and I could imagine how distorted Hollywood's product would be.
The movie is now out; it stars Charlize Theron, who was no doubt cast for her striking resemblance to the miner she plays. The film's is remarkably preachy, posturing the movie as a landmark in the battle against sexual harassment. The of North Country confirms that the movie is awash in liberal stereotypes. But one jarring note jumped out at me:
Inspired by Anita Hill's testimony at the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Josey talks Bill, a local hockey-hero-turned-lawyer (Woody Harrelson, in his best work in years) into mounting a lawsuit. And like Hill, Josey is confronted by the mine owner's "nuts and sluts" defense that focuses on her own sexual past.
The real Jenson case was filed in 1985, six years before the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearing. So this particular embellishment is pure fiction. Why did the moviemakers throw it in? Why do you think? The Supreme Court is in the news, and Justice Thomas is a hero to conservatives. So the liberals who made North Country went out of their way to slime him, shifting the movie's time line by six years just so they could slander a Republican. No wonder conservatives hate Hollywood.
And, by the way, what's this about Anita Hill being "confronted" by a "defense" that "focuse[d] on her own sexual past"? I don't remember hearing anything about her sexual past; the defense put forward by Thomas and his supporters was that she was a liar, which the evidence seemed to show pretty convincingly.

Is this the beginning of the end?
The Washington Times speculates about the prospect that Harriet Miers' nomination will be withdrawn. President Bush is not one to back down, that's one of the reasons I like him, but Miers herself may decide she wants out. Alternatively, if a few key Republican Senators do what Barry Goldwater did during the Watergate era, that might signal the end. I wouldn't expect that to happen prior to the hearings, though. But look for grass-root conservatives to apply more pressure against this nomination next week.

America vs. The World
Many war's have been started by other countries, and it seems that America has something to do with it. America foreign policy is very complex for some small countries. Many countries have called upon America for aid in small wars, such as the war on drug's, the war on crime, and the war for oil. Imagine a personal war and what it would to to America; no I'm not saying the current war in Iraq is personal but imagine what the outcome would be. America is getting tired of coming to the aid of others. We currently do not have those speed trains, that is in France and England.

DeLay Blasts Ronnie Earle
This is a transcript of Tom DeLay's remarks, delivered this morning at the Texas State Capitol. I think all Republicans--especially the Bush administration--can learn from DeLay's uncompromising response to unfair attacks by Democrats:

Should the Government Stop "Free" Porn?
So Im watching the news this morning, to get the latest on Hurricane Wilma. I was surprised whan they started to talk about porn and children. President Bush is wanting to get rid of porn, I have no problem with that in fact it could help all of us. I know that there are some perverts out there that wants to look at this junk; but in fact we could see a decrease in crime and suicid. I hear that children are are surfing for this, to me their parents need to watch this activity.

The Orphan
It's difficult not to feel sorry for Harriet Miers -- by all accounts a fine person. She gets no love from liberal Senate Democrats, and is bound to lose any good will they may have for her once she refuses, during the hearings, to commit herself to Roe v. Wade. She gets no love from conservative Senate Republicans because there's little evidence that she'a a strong conservative.

DePaul Invites Churchill, Suppresses Republicans
DePaul University in Chicago has invited Ward Churchill to its campus to speak on--of all things--human rights. The college's Republicans have tried to mobilize opposition to Churchill's visit, but have been blocked by the college's administration. Amazingly, the Republicans were denied the right to post flyers criticizing Churchill's visit on the ground that the flyers were "propaganda"!

Democrats Told to Reach Out
If all you did was read newspaper headlines, you'd think the Democrats would be in clover. Day after day, Republicans seem to be taking a beating on all fronts. And yet, for some reason, it's the Republicans, not the Democrats, who keep winning elections.
