Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers has a fascinating blog.Have you noticed she has a highly misspellable name? It's spelled to rhyme with mere, but pronounced to rhyme with Myer. Surely all those school children who goof and spell it Harriet Myers can be forgiven the error of their ways.

Weekend Pundit notes and comments on a good post reacting to the latest blogosphere news storm, which has shown the Republican electoral coalition for what it is - a coalition, with factions who thought they were on the same page more fully than they were.

Think of the contrast! Julia Child, OSS agent who always modestly demurred at any suggestion she was a spy, insisting she was a "file clerk". I think JK could have learned a thing or two from Ms. Child. A true American hero, she was.

Nuveau Fluff seems to think he killed Julia Child. What he doesn't know is that old cooks never die. They just fritter away. Or is that boil away? Whichever it is, she'll remain seared in our memories like a surreptitious Cambodian Christmas on the authority of a President-elect.

It's hard to blame NBC for attempting an undercover sting/exposé kind of operation. It's what media outlets like them do, for better or worse. What's funny is to see them get a "story" utterly different from the one they sought. They probed for weakness and found strength.

This sounds about right regarding Kerry's campaign, much as the rest does regarding the theoretical Kerry administration that hasn't a prayer of happening: Kerry seems to be campaigning on the honor and trustworthiness of the Clinton presidency, the dynamic public persona of the Dukakis campaign, and the foreign policy expertise of the Carter presidency.

This is how Kerry winds up siding with evil So Kerry's position on the war is this: "Any attack will be met with a swift and certain response." Got that? If the Empire State Building's taken out, he'll certainly respond to it. Next time 'round, there won't be any mistakes about where the WMD are because they'll be in the middle of a big crater in Chicago.

Seems like maybe it's time for a new hostage strategy: Kill a hostage, get a new parking lot in the known or suspected vicinity of the act or the perpetrating sponsor. Take a hostage, fail to release the hostage when asked, get a new parking lot, even if the hostage has to die in the process.

So John Kerry is really defensive about his patriotism. I see he's defending his patriotism against charges that haven't been made. The title of that article could easily have been: "Kerry goes insane, news media goes with him". But you know what? I don't question his patriotism. I don't question the patriotism of any liberal.

Steve has posted helpful information on donating to help with the Iran earthquake. Very nice. We may want their government to change for the good of Iranians and the world, but the Iranians themselves are fine folks who don't deserve to die tragically by the tens of thousands. A good cause and sentiment indeed.

There's another interesting conversation going on over at Dean's place in regard to the Homeland Security alert levels. Dean likes 'em. Many don't. Something that was briefly addressed and dropped again was the question of who, exactly, we are informing with these alerts. Government agencies, check. The American public, check. The enemy, check. Yeah, the enemy. Think about this for a

Eric graciously linked us, implying, in what we hope is a tongue poking through cheek fashion, that the expressions "heh" and "indeed" uttered or written together or apart, are proprietary. Read the whole thing.™ The Man himself has echoed that sentiment, in his typical (which is not to say "trademarked") fashion. Those stirring words are not the property of any one blogger, human, or bug-eyed

Since my partner is doing such a bang-up job providing you with that wondrous thing popularly known as "content," I thought I'd break for a little holiday cheer: "Phrosty the Photon" (sung to "Frosty the Snowman") Phrosty the Photon was quite a quantum sight, With a zero mass and an endless life, and a speed approaching Light. There must have been some magic in a physics lab one year, For

Another Steve, or perhaps his handlers, of Big Bad Truths, goes on record about Bush, Carter, Shithead Gaddafi Qaddafi Khadafy Khaddafi, and sensible strategy that is not dim at all. This is excellent stuff, for an award winning losing humor, cigar and cooking blog.

Speaking of content, Steven produces a weekly feature of interest to the politically-oriented. This week's Toast-O-Meter is up in all its crumbly goodness. Ultimately, they are all toast. It's just a matter of darkness and crumb production.

You've heard of the "third rail of American politics," which is widely considered to be Social Security. Straightening that out will require a President, perhaps second term with less to lose, and some legislators with previously unexercised courageous profiles. Otherwise there will be a serious crash or generational clash after a while. This post is not about the third rail that will

Despite the continued failure of the promised "content" to materialize, your not-so-humble hosts have already drawn the attention of James, he of Outside the Beltway fame. We appreciate his amusement at our little project more than we suspect he knows. We would also like to assure Steven that his reaction to our pitiful efforts has not gone unnoticed, and we would like to reassure him that we

I think not. I have to agree with James about this court verdict.

In an unexpected (*snork*) development, I have found myself unable to access the template for this site, and thus unable to add Sitemeter and, furthermore, unable to discover exactly how few visitors a site only two and a half hours old can attract. The worst part is that I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those darned kids...

This is a test. It is only a test. If this were an actual blog, the post you are viewing would be replaced by what is popularly referred to as "content." Such will be forthcoming with time, and your not-so-humble authors appreciate your patience.
