Will Bush listen to Reid again?

President Bush needs no help going left on immigration, but he should know better than to listen to Harry Reid. There's nothing better for Reid than watching Bush going toe-to-toe with his conservative base. It was Harry Reid who suggested that Bush pick Harriet Miers to the court. He probably had several good laughs watching the debacle unfold. He probably thinks he can help encourage Bush and then laugh about the in-bickering again.

The president's plan pairs a guest worker program for foreigners with border security enforcement, an attempt to satisfy both his business supporters, who believe foreign workers help the economy, and his conservative backers, who take a hard line on illegal immigration.
In Tucson, the president planned to aim his remarks at those conservatives, emphasizing his proposals to secure the border, remove people who enter the country illegally and strengthen enforcement of immigration laws.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., asked Bush in a letter Monday to encourage bipartisan and realistic reforms to immigration laws.
"Enforcement alone does not work. Unless we address the gap between our immigration laws and reality, illegal immigration will not stop and the situation on the border will continue to be chaotic," Reid said.
The Democrat implored Bush to "stand up to the right wing of your party and stand up for what is right" by taking more than an enforcement-only approach to illegal immigration.
The president's two-day push on border security and immigration comes a month after Bush signed a $32 billion homeland security bill for 2006 that contains large increases for border protection, including 1,000 additional Border Patrol agents.
Bush has been urging Congress to act on a guest worker program for more than a year. Under his plan, undocumented aliens would be allowed to get three-year work visas. They could extend that for an additional three years, but would then have to return to their home countries for a year to apply for a new work permit. AP

Zarqawi Retreats

Let's remember that following the bombings in Jordan, there were mass demonstrations against al-Qaeda and Zarqawi. Now, let's forget for a moment that many protesters were not upset about bombing innocent people, but innocent Muslims. Focus on the fact that in response to mass protests (a sign of strength) Zarqawi backed down. There is good chance that there would not have been any apology if there had not been any protests. Zarqawi has killed many Muslims before and there is no reason to believe he wouldn't do it again.
What does it mean for the US? A show of strength by the US would send Zarqawi into retreat. Zarqawi thrives on the US's political sensibilities. Bush needs to know he has limited time to DEFEAT the "insurgents" rather than try to 'wait it out.'

The head of al Qaeda in Iraq said in an audiotape Friday that his group's suicide bombers did not intend to hit a Jordanian wedding party in last week's deadly hotel bombings, responding to criticism even from sympathizers over an attack that killed mostly Muslim civilians. In the tape, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi also threatened more attacks against hotels and tourist sites and military bases in Jordan and threatened to kill Jordan's King Abdullah II. "Your star is fading. You will not escape your fate, you descendant of traitors. We will be able to reach your head and chop it off," al-Zarqawi said, referring to the king. Al-Zarqawi told Jordanians to stay away from bases used by U.S. forces in Jordan, hotels and tourist sites in Amman, the Dead Sea and the southern resort of Aqaba and embassies of governments participating in the war in Iraq — saying they would be targeted. He underlined that al Qaeda in Iraq is not targeting fellow Muslims. "We want to assure you that ... you are more beloved
to us than ourselves," he said, addressing Jordanians. CBS

Sour Deal in Gaza

This is what happens when you put an expert on Soviet affairs into a role of Secretary of State who's major challenge is to deal with Islam. She has no experience on the subject and this week she's proved it. While many are cheering this "historic peace deal", I am not optimistic.

The Soviets were generally held to their agreements, such as removing Cuban missles, because of the principle of Mutually Assured Distruction. The Soviet government also ran the show.
Islamic terrorism is different. The leaders are not necessarily linked to the government but usually allowed to conduct their business freely. So it is a lot harder to acxuse the Islamic government of terrorist-related activities. Normally, the Islamic government, like Pakistan, makes a lot of noise that they are trying to "control terrorism," but in reality do nothing. Additionally, even if Abbas has good intentions, he does not have the power to control factions like Hamas.

There are other reasons why our support of Israel has been lackluster. With the Soviet Union, we had no economic interest in the Soviet Union. In Islamic states, economic interests helps to keep our heads in the sand. Our economic dealings with Saudi Arabia gives them a pass for promoting jihad, building mosques across the US, and distributing islamists reading material at those mosques. Our relationship with OPEC/Saudi Arabia affects our dealing with the PLO. Business interests prevent the US from being overtly pro-Jewish, but voters are largely pro-Israel, so government officials try to sit on the fence. At the end of the day, Israel gets the shaft even though we make it seem like real peace is being made.

Bascially what we need is economic divestment from the Middle East. The freer the US economy is from OPEC, the easier it will be to support Israel. This should have begun on September 12th, 2001, but there were too many people making easy money from Saudi oil to let this happen.

While I still think Condi is a smart and capable woman, I don't think she has the experience in this field. I think I'm a capable mechanical engineer, but I wouldn't attempt to tackle an electrical engineering problem. Let Condi work her mojo with the Russians, or even communist China & North Korea, but someone else needs to tackle Islamic. Finally, to all the "Condi in '08" cheerleaders, keep dreaming. She's hasn't even been elected to a city council, so she can't prove her electability, no matter how many books Dick Morris writes.

JERUSALEM - The Israeli-Palestinian pact announced Tuesday to reopen the Rafah crossing, a vital link to the outside world for the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip, came down to a hotel room, a laptop around which negotiators made last-minute revisions and the determination of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to cement the deal in the wee hours of the morning.
Laying her prestige on the line, Rice postponed plans to leave Jerusalem on Monday in the belief that an agreement could be hammered out with her personal touch. She
succeeded.
For the first time, under the agreement, Palestinians will control their own border. The free flow of goods into Egypt will strengthen the battered Gaza economy. It will also give a lift to Mahmoud Abbas, the beleaguered Palestinian leader, in advance of crucial elections for parliament Jan. 25.
The plan sets Nov. 25 as the target date for reopening Rafah terminal, which Israel sealed this summer after its withdrawal of Jewish settlements from the Gaza Strip. The crossing is to be checked by Palestinian and Egypt border guards under supervision by European Union officials.
A key sticking point was Israel's insistence that it be allowed to monitor the
crossing, saying it feared cross-border smuggling of arms to Palestinian militants. Under the compromise presided over by Rice, Israeli and Palestinian security officers at an EU-run control room a few miles from Rafah will monitor the crossing via closed-circuit TV. But the operation of the crossing is no longer under Israeli control.
Passage of people between the West Bank and Gaza is due to start Dec. 15, with bus convoys carrying Palestinians between the territories several times a day. Truck convoys carrying goods are due to start Jan. 15. Israel agrees to the passage of at least 150 trucks a day by the end of the year, and at least 400 trucks a day by the end of 2006.
The agreement permits the Palestinians to begin building a seaport and calls for talks on reopening Gaza's airport, which was damaged in 2001 by Israeli airstrikes after the outbreak of the Palestinian uprising. Knight Ridder

Prince Charles is an Idiot

God help England after the Queen passes. Prince Charles lacks any intellegence. I don't understand what happened. The Queen seems sharp and Prince Philip (yes, the Queen is married and that is her husband's name) isn't a dummy either. A week ago, Chucky was saying Americans were too intolerant of Islam. Today, Islam wants Mummy dead.

Unless Charles is really sinister and wants Mummy dead in order to be King, he isn't smart enough to realize, besides the haughty Beeb and other champagne socialists, that it isn't hip to be an Islamophile. The majority of British, although not bright enough to realize the benefits of personal firearm ownership, aren't ready to sing the praises of Islam. What Charles needs to remember is that the monarchy can be done away with. Yup, the people could vote to remove the monarchy. Most (2/3) people still like it, but the future King Charles's mouth could quickly prevent the people from ever seeing a King William.


From November 1st:

Prince Charles of Wales will explain the virtues of Islam to the US President, George W. Bush, and the American people this week. According to British daily Sunday Telegraph, Prince Charles thinks the United States has been too "intolerant" of Islam since 11 September 2001.
During his eight-day visit, Prince Charles will try to convince Bush about the merits of Islam and attend some conferences on religions at various platforms. The Prince of Wales had expressed his concerns earlier regarding Washington's "confrontational"
approach to Muslim countries and its failure to understand the strength of Islam. He came together with senior Muslims in London following the September 11 attacks and said, "I find the language and rhetoric coming from America too confrontational."
According to one of his aides speaking to the newspaper, the Prince had never extended a political message in terms of the religion and only requests different religions to understand each other and be tolerant of each other in order to allow good relations to develop among religions.

Today:

AL-QAEDA has threatened the Queen by naming her as “one of the severest enemies of Islam” in a video message to justify the July bombings in London.
The warning has been passed by MI5 to the Queen’s protection team after it obtained the unexpurgated version of a video issued by Al-Qaeda after the 7/7 attacks.
Parts of it were broadcast on Al-Jazeera, the Arabic satellite channel. NI_MPU('middle'); In the video, Ayman al- Zawahiri, second-in-command to Osama Bin Laden, targets the Queen as ultimately responsible for Britain’s “crusader laws” and denounces her as an enemy of Muslims. Times (UK)

Five questions non-Muslims would like answered.

The below is from the LA Times. Yes, the LA Times. I am still flabbergasted. Granted the author is not a liberal, but for any mainstream paper to print this editorial has left me wondering. Maybe the market forces of the silent majority not buying the LA Times had something to due with it. Whatever the reason, it is a good step nonetheless. The below questions are just common sense that should have asked long ago.

Five questions non-Muslims would like answered. By Dennis Prager

THE RIOTING IN France by primarily Muslim youths and the hotel bombings in Jordan are the latest events to prompt sincere questions that law-abiding Muslims need to answer for Islam's sake, as well as for the sake of worried non-Muslims. Here are five of them:

(1) Why are you so quiet? Since the first Israelis were targeted for death by Muslim terrorists blowing themselves up in the name of your religion and Palestinian nationalism, I have been praying to see Muslim demonstrations against these atrocities. Last week's protests in Jordan against the bombings, while welcome, were a rarity. What I have seen more often is mainstream Muslim spokesmen implicitly defending this terror on the grounds that Israel occupies Palestinian lands. We see torture and murder in the name of Allah, but we see no anti-torture and anti-murder demonstrations in the name of Allah.There are a billion Muslims in the world. How is it possible that essentially none have demonstrated against evils perpetrated by Muslims in the name of Islam? This is true even of the millions of Muslims living in free Western societies. What are non-Muslims of goodwill supposed to conclude? When the Israeli government did not stop a Lebanese massacre of Palestinians in the Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps in Lebanon in 1982, great crowds of Israeli Jews gathered to protest their country's moral failing. Why has there been no comparable public demonstration by Palestinians or other Muslims to morally condemn Palestinian or other Muslim-committed terror?

(2) Why are none of the Palestinian terrorists Christian?If Israeli occupation is the reason for Muslim terror in Israel, why do no Christian Palestinians engage in terror? They are just as nationalistic and just as occupied as Muslim Palestinians.

(3) Why is only one of the 47 Muslim-majority countries a free country?According to Freedom House, a Washington-based group that promotes democracy, of the world's 47 Muslim countries, only Mali is free. Sixty percent are not free, and 38% are partly free. Muslim-majority states account for a majority of the world's "not free" states. And of the 10 "worst of the worst," seven are Islamic states. Why is this?

(4) Why are so many atrocities committed and threatened by Muslims in the name of Islam?Young girls in Indonesia were recently beheaded by Muslim murderers. Last year, Muslims — in the name of Islam — murdered hundreds of schoolchildren in Russia. While reciting Muslim prayers, Islamic terrorists take foreigners working to make Iraq free and slaughter them. Muslim daughters are murdered by their own families in the thousands in "honor killings." And the Muslim government in Iran has publicly called for the extermination of Israel.

(5) Why do countries governed by religious Muslims persecute other religions?No church or synagogue is allowed in Saudi Arabia. The Taliban destroyed some of the greatest sculptures of the ancient world because they were Buddhist. Sudan's Islamic regime has murdered great numbers of Christians. Instead of confronting these problems, too many of you deny them. Muslims call my radio show to tell me that even speaking of Muslim or Islamic terrorists is wrong. After all, they argue, Timothy McVeigh is never labeled a "Christian terrorist." As if McVeigh committed his terror as a churchgoing Christian and in the name of Christ, and as if there were Christian-based terror groups around the world. As a member of the media for nearly 25 years, I have a long record of reaching out to Muslims. Muslim leaders have invited me to speak at major mosques. In addition, I have studied Arabic and Islam, have visited most Arab and many other Muslim countries and conducted interfaith dialogues with Muslims in the United Arab Emirates as well as in the U.S. Politically, I have supported creation of a Palestinian state and supported (mistakenly, I now believe) the Oslo accords.Hundreds of millions of non-Muslims want honest answers to these questions, even if the only answer you offer is, "Yes, we have real problems in Islam." Such an acknowledgment is infinitely better — for you and for the world — than dismissing us as anti-Muslim.

We await your response.

French Infitada Continues

The French Infitada continued last night, with the number of cars torched rising from the night before. When the number started declining, the press was quick to proclaim that the "rioting" was nearly over. Now that the number has risen, the story is buried on back pages. Overall this huge story has been given scant coverage by the media. Whenever, it is covered, the "M- word" isn't used.

However, the media isn't ignoring the religion of the rioters completely because of political correctness. I bet if there was similar rioting in Britian, the press would use the term Muslim. The argument would be that the British, in their support for US in Iraq, has inflamed the Muslim communities unnecessarily. If only the British had not supported the US, they would not be the subject of Muslim rioting.

France, however, opposed the US in Iraq, and has a long standing history of trying to befriend the Arabs. The militaries of many Muslim nations are armed with French weaponry. France is the Arabs' best supporter of Palestine in the West. When President Reagan launch an airstrike on Lybia in retalliation for the Berlin disco bombing, French President Mitterand refused the US the use of its airspace.

What the left refuses to admit, is that France is still the subject of Islamic aggression even though it had fully subscribed to the liberal ideology of "if we are nice to the Muslims they won't bother us." Instead of admiting a flaw in their logic, they try to convince the world, there are other reasons behind the rioting.

Notice the last paragraph, where some people retalliated by torching a mosque, but here Chirac is quick to demand an investigation. Too bad the French people can't count on the same support. The funny thing is that Chirac's government is supposed to be right of center! Obviously there is zero different between the UMP and the socialist party.

The number of cars torched overnight in France climbed slightly over the previous night to 502 in a 16th night of unrest that took its heaviest toll on the French provinces, police said Saturday. Security was boosted in the capital with some 3,000 police officers fanning out around strategic points to counter feared weekend attacks targeting Paris. Gatherings were banned from Saturday morning until Sunday morning.
"We returned to an almost normal situation in Ile de France," said national police chief Michel Gaudin, referring to the Paris region. Arson attacks were counted in 163 towns around France, he said. The count of those detained overnight stood at 206, bringing to 2,440 the number of suspects picked up in just over two weeks of unrest.

Two Molotov cocktails were tossed at a mosque Friday evening in the southern town of Carpentras, but it was not immediately clear whether the attack was linked to the unrest that has wracked the poor suburbs and small towns of France since Oct. 27.
President Jacques Chirac demanded that investigators quickly find out who was behind the attack. AP

Note to Politicians: Back our Boys!

Anyone with half a brain could see this coming. Troops in . G-damn it. If a politican is going to ask for the physical courage of soldiers abroad, then he should show some political courage at home. If the US (or UK) government wants to know why recruitment is down: THIS IS THE REASON! Soldiers have to fight with one arm tied behind their backs!! This why we lost Vietnam and this is why we could lose Iraq.

SENIOR army doctors have warned that troops in Iraq are suffering levels of battle stress not experienced since the second world war because of fears that if they shoot an insurgent, they will end up in court.
The two senior Royal Army Medical Corps officers, one of whom is a psychologist, have recently returned from Basra, where they said they counselled young soldiers who feared a military police investigation as much as they did the insurgents....
“The unpopularity of the war at home and a belief that firing their rifles
in virtually any circumstances is likely to see them end up in court are sapping
morale.” ...

The doctors described morale in some units as very low with soldiers cynically suggesting they needed a solicitor with them before they shot back at any Iraqi who attacked them. Times of London

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE JIHAD

France: It's jihad. NPR this morning call it "youths venting their frustrations." The frogs and the frogophiles in the press don't want to admit that even though France vehemently opposed the US in Iraq, they are still on the receiving end of jihad. France & press want us to believe that "if we appease them they won't bother us" ... and 9/11 was America's fault. Bull. Now instead of admiting their mistake, they spin the violence to be caused by other reasons than jihad.

I predict the violence will subside completely within a week, giving the country 3 weeks of rioting. There was no main goal in this rioting. In poker, it's called a "feeler bet." You throw out a small amount chips in order to see how people react. Similarly here, France has folded. Future riots will lead to even more concessions from the French government. First there will be monetary concessions and politicans afraid to curb illegal immigration for "fear of sparking riots." Illegals will be given citizenship status. Any attempt to curb Islamic influence will be met with cries of racism. Then there will be demands that disputes amongst Muslims be decided by sharia. Then future demands for autonomous Islamic zones and powersharing. This is all within the next 10 years.

The 12 Days of Jihad!

In honor of the vented frustration going on in France.... boys and girls, get ready for Islamic carols! Sing Along!!!

On the first day of French jihad,
my mullah sent to me,
A call to join in Jihad.

On the second day of French jihad,
my mullah sent to me,
Two handgrenades
and a call to join in Jihad
...

On the twelve day of French jihad,
my mullah sent to me,
Twelve dhimmi reporters,
Eleven pushover politicians,
Ten burning Bibles,
Nine butcher knives,
Eight AK-47s,
Seven suicide bombers,
Six poison syringes,
Five... Petrol Bombs,
Four RPGs,
Three French whores,
Two hand grenades,
And a call to join in Jihad.

San Franshame

Some day there will be in an earthquake in San Francisco, and massive looting will occur, ala New Orleans. Then I will be tempted to feel some "schadenfreude" One would think that the New Orleans episode would create some doubt amongst gun control jockeys. Then again, Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Voters approved ballot measures to ban handguns in San Francisco and urge the city's public high schools and college campuses to keep out military recruiters.
The gun ban prohibits the manufacture and sale of all firearms and ammunition in the city, and makes it illegal for residents to keep handguns in their homes or businesses.
Only two other major U.S. cities - Washington and Chicago - have implemented such sweeping handgun bans. With all precincts reporting early Wednesday, 58 percent of voters backed the proposed gun ban while 42 percent opposed it. Although law enforcement, security guards and others who require weapons for work are exempt from the measure, current handgun owners would have to surrender their firearms by April.
A coalition led by the National Rifle Association has said it plans to challenge the initiative in court, arguing that cities do not have the authority to regulate firearms under California law. .... Newsmax

Media bias on riots in France

Besides, whitewashing the rioters, calling the "youths" or blaming it on the "failure to integrate" or the high unemployment of the rioters, there are other subtle ways the media shows its bias in its reporting.

French Rioting Appears to Lose Strength

France's storm of rioting lost strength on Wednesday with a drop of nearly
half in the number of car burnings, police said.... AP:

If France was a staunch US ally or there was anti-US rioting in Venezula, the Yahoo news title would read "Rioting continues in defiance of curfew" or "Rioting continues for unprecedented 13th day". Buried down in the news article might be an indication that rioting has subsided, but that wouldn't be the main title.

The Left Coast

The people of California have sunked to a new low. Of California's 8 ballot initiaves proposed by Arnie, all 8 failed. While children need to have a parental permission slip signed before they go on a field trip, they do not need one to have an abortion.

Prop 73: Minor seeking abortion, needs to have parents notified.
Yes: 3,129,340 47.4% No: 3,465,146 52.6%

Two years ago Democrat governor Gray Davis was recalled because the state's budget was falling apart. High taxes and regulations made people leave the state, while the state kept spending. However, the people of California are too dumb to realize that everything hasn't become magical and only by curbing spending would their finances get better.

Prop 76: State spending curbed
Yes: 2,521,709 37.9 No: 4,114,787 62.1

For reference, here are the voting numbers from the 2004 Presidential election. Voter turnout for the Republicans could have been better. For Bush 5,509,826 / For Kerry 6,745,485

The only thing I dread, is a California failure and then the Federal Government bails them out...so intellegent people in real states have to foot the bill for the socialism in California.

Christopher's Guide to Texas Constitutional Amendment

Nine constitutional amendments graced the Texas ballot this year. A handy guide on the arguements for or against them can be found here. UPDATE: Results are found here

Prop 1. Creates a fund in the state treasury for Texas railroad relocation and improvement
Christopher says: AGAINST. More state spending = bad. The arguments for are highly speculative, like better public safety. PASSED (54%-46%)

Prop. 2 Defines marriage as a union only between one man and one woman
Christopher says: FOR. This is the hot ticket item. Although I have enough libertarian beliefs, I don't think gays should raise kids, so I don't see why gays need to get married. PASSED (76%-24%)

Prop. 3 Clarifies that certain economic development programs do not constitute a debt.
Christopher says: FOR. This was slightly confusing to unsuspecting voter, but the arguments against weren't at all convincing. PASSED (52%-48%)

Prop. 4 Adds a provision to consider previous violations of release when a defendant in a felony case is up for bail at a later hearing
Christopher says: FOR. It just makes common sense, that if a defendant has fleed before he might again and that is worth considering. The arguements are really poking at straws, including one that "gives too much power to judges" (to be discussed below). PASSED (85%-15%)

Prop. 5 Allows the Texas Legislature, which regulates the interest rates of all loans, to create exemptions to interest rate ceilings, specifically for the commercial loan industry
Christopher says: FOR. 46 other states already do not regulate rates and the world isn't ending. The arguments against worry about borrower protection, but these are commercial loans. If you are going to start a business and get a loan, you should be responsible enough to review the terms and conditions. If you can't, hire a lawyer. REJECTED (43%-57%)

Prop. 6 Increases the membership of the State Commission on Judicial Conduct (SCJC) from 11 to 13 members and eliminates current restrictions on geographic location of public members
Christopher says: AGAINST. Why do they need 2 more? More importantly, geographical domination could happen. In a state that is 70% conservative, liberal enclaves could gain excessive representative. PASSED (63%-37%)

Prop. 7 Authorizes senior homeowners to take line-of-credit advances under a reverse mortgage
Christopher says: FOR. Why not? The arguments against are "nannyish" in nature. Seniors should be allowed to make decisions on their own. PASSED (60%-40%)

Prop. 8 Releases the state’s right to claim ownership of 4,600 acres of land in Upshur County and 950 acres of land in Smith County.
Christopher says: FOR. It sounds like government pulled this ownership out of their rear and 1000+ people stand to lose out. One of the arguments against, "that it should be left up to the courts, not voters" is a likely liberal arguement, but it is contradiction to the earlier liberal arguement on bail which worried that "too much power would be given to judges." PASSED (61%-39%)

Prop. 9 Changes terms for Regional Mobility Authority (RMA) board members from two-year terms to staggered, six-year terms
Christopher says: AGAINST. Members voting themselves longers terms? I don't like the sound of that. I'm not even sure what the RMA does....but the longer the term, the worse the corruption. REJECTED (47%-53%)

UPDATE: I was 6 of 9 on the proposals. On prop 5 maybe it wasn't a bad thing it failed. It could be that it's never a good thing to take off a cap like that. It's like prop 9, it's never a good thing extend politicans terms or prop 1 let the state spend more money.

Paris Burning

The 12 days of rioting by Muslim youths in France is only being lightly reported by the media. The refuse to identify the rioters as Muslims, choosing to instead call them "French youths" or at best "youth of North African origin." They leave you to do the math.

"Rioting by French youths spread to 300 towns overnight, and a 61-year-old man hurt in the violence died of his wounds" Notice the MSM being good dhimmis and covering their masters by saying a man "hurt in the violence." The man was beaten by Muslims and later died. "hurt in the violence" implies a much less severe situation. No doubt that they would say "man was severely beaten by the gang of (insert non-PC group here) and later died of his extensive injuries" if races/religions were changed. But there is no bias in the media

"Much of the youths’ anger has focused on law-and-order Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, who inflamed passions by referring to troublemakers as “scum”. "The Muslims were rioting long before Sarkozy called them scum. This is typical MSM. They relay an excuse as fact. If the French fire Sarkozy, the rioters may stop, but the Muslims know they are the masters. Then look for another excuse to riot with in 2 years, where the Muslims will demand even greater concessions.

Bareback Mountain

Can I be the first to call the Hollywood's new gay cowboy movie, Bareback Mountain? Come on, it's so obvious. Did they not think twice when naming the film? Hollywood is trying to stuff the gay agenda down the throats of America. Jake Gyleeenhhalll (sp?) 's career will be sunk. He'll be the gay dude. I'll enjoy watching the box office failure.

from the Drudge Report: "HOLLYWOOD ROCKED: 'GAY COWBOY' MOVIE BECOMES AN OSCAR FRONTRUNNERArriving with nudity and explicit gay sex scenes between two cowboys, UNIVERSAL/FOCUS FILMS's BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN has quietly become an award season frontrunner, interviews with Academy members reveal. "It could very well be the last film standing at this year's Oscars," a top Hollywood producer not associated with the film explained from Hollywood."

Bush is Back

Bush broke out of his long slump with his pick of Samuel Alito for SCOTUS.
