Bush is ready to answer the need for plastic turkeys in New Orleans. All he needs is permission from the local authorities to send them in. Why oh why do the locals continue to be the holdup? And what about that constitutional provision prohibiting Federal plastic turkeys from entering where states' rights turkeys already reside? Isn't original intent a problem here? Clearly, the Founders understood that in times of emergency, the Federalies could send plastic turkeys where needed.

MY COMMENTS TO BEN STEIN'S GET OFF HIS BACK ARTICLE

Ben Stein:Get Off His Backfont-

A few truths, for those who have ears and eyes and care to know the truth:

1.) The hurricane that hit New Orleans and Mississippi and Alabama was an astonishing tragedy. The suffering and loss of life and peace of mind of the residents of those areas is acutely horrifying. Always start with an obvious point, to distract them when they drink from the trough of disbelief. Read More

Since few Democrats in Congress have backbones, here is a way to protest yet still appear, um, wimpy? supportive? hell, I don't know. First order of business, when Congress returns, introduce a bill that STOP-LOSS can ONLY be used in conficts that receive a FORMAL CONGRESSIONAL DECLARATION of WAR. That would eliminate police actions, UN actions, incursions, etc. Then, if its important enough to commit troops AND prevent them from leaving when their scheduled to, then it's important enough to declare war.

Did anyone catch this spooky comparison

George Bush on NPR this morning speaking in El Mirage AZ:

There have been hopeful developments in Iraq. I know you see violence on your TV screen and it breaks my heart to see the death of innocent life there. But thats the only thing the terrorists have got going for them. They've got the capacity to shake our conscious because unlike their ideology, we value every human life.

Contrast that with General Westmoreland said during Vietnam:

Human life is cheap to the Asian. They don't feel the same way about death that we do.

I think that if you're a president wanting to AVOID comparisons with Vietnam, that I might stop PARAPHRASING its more famous quotes. Read More

It's true, there are FEW who rival Chickenhawk Wisdom for abuse of logic, but Mickey Kaus has to be one of them. Note the following

We mightcan do business... I got this in the email from the DCCC:

Dear Mightcan, On August 2nd, we sent a shockwave through the Republican Party. In case you don't know me, I was the Democratic candidate in the special election for Ohio's second congressional district. I am also a veteran of the Iraq War.
