Quagmire's favorite word is GIGGITY. Quagmire has short black hair, parted in the middle with lightly tanned skin; he is of average height and somewhat slight build. His facial characteristics include an enormous [[jaw]] and [[chin]], and a long [[nose]]. It has been said that S
"Intractable Quagmire" is a term Democrats employed several times over the last 5 years. Now, they are in one. It is difficult to imagine a scenario more delicious, from a Republican's vantage point. There is simply nothing they can do to win this year's Presidential election. They find themselves trapped......Victims of their own wicked game of identity politics, they can now only choose which candidate they want to lose in November. It really is that simple.Which ever candidate is chosen will be crippled by the bitter vanquished on the other side of the deepening democratic divide. Political correctness is starting to give way to cold reality and what was dare not whispered a few months ago, is now being spoken openly.Democrats and the media are openly worrying about the so-called "Bradl
In EdWeek (3/5/08) in an article by David Hoff, “A Key Republican Sees Odds Dipping For NCLB Renewal,” Representative Howard P. “Buck” McKeon (formerly mentioned in this blog in March ’07) bemoans the fact that it has been a bit tough to push the reauthorization of NCLB down the throats of other lawmakers.According to Buck, “We’re in a climate where it doesn’t look very favorable to get the reauthorization done.”Of course, it would help if the members of Congress actually made an effort to do something about NCLB. Hoff mentions in his article that Buck (who is the senior Republican on the House Education and Labor Committee) has not even met with Representative George Miller from California who is the committee’s chairperson to discuss anything about NCLB since October!
~Snooper~Catch this Tsunami at MemeorandumIt is quite evident to this DAV that Rep John Murtha has one thing on his mind and that is defeat. No...that's not quite true, is it? Perhaps he has the 2008 election drawing nigh. If this is true, then, how can he explain his recent change of heart?Being the brave soul that he is or, knowing that his security was provided by individuals other than those murderous scum Marines, Rep Murtha traveled to Iraq to "visit" with The Troops during Thanksgiving festivities. My friend Uncle Jimbo said that those lads must have reacted under pressure and actually broke down and fed him. Uncle Jimbo does have a way with words.Congressman Murtha traveled to the Al-Anbar Province to see for himself that which most of us already knew, having actually been there, that relatively speaking, all is quiet on that front. However, I find that quite curious. "Mister" Murtha once said of Michael O'Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack upon their return trip from Iraq the follow
But the real story is not something you have heardJack Kelly of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette published a great piece on Sunday, November 18th, which just about sums up the real story in Iraq !We're floundering in a quagmire in Iraq. Our strategy is flawed, and it's too late to change it. Our resources have been squandered, our best people killed, we're hated by the natives and our reputation around the world is circling the drain. We must withdraw.No, I'm not channeling Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. I'm channeling Osama bin Laden, for whom the war in Iraq has been a catastrophe. Al-Qaida had little presence in Iraq during the regime of Saddam Hussein. But once he was toppled, al-Qaida's chieftains decided to make Iraq the central front in the global jihad against the Great Satan."The most important and serious issue today for the whole world is this third world war, which the Crusader-Zionist coalition began against the Islamic nation," Osama bin Laden said in an audiotape po
Are you in debt? Do you imagine that making good your obligations looks excessively impossible? Are you starting to contemplate on filing for bankruptcy? You may change your perception if some one or somebody will notify you that there is another successful technique to get away from the quagmire of debt. Debt consolidation might be the thing that is best suited for you.
What's this here? David Morrell, the author who'd created Rambo, is writing some kind of miniseries about Captain America ("The Chosen") as seen through the eyes of a soldier in Afghanistan, and which, yes, does appear to be just a flashback story. But there's at least two reasons to keep expectations on this to minimum: one, because Morrell may be chummy with Max Allan Collins, who if memory serves, supported the anti-American steps taken with Cap a few years ago by writing an introduction to the trade paperback of the Marvel Knights series at the time in which he attacked "jingoism". And two, because this miniseries, just like the Marvel Knights series, seems to put Cap into real life settings in ways that could trivialize the tragedies in real life:Another unique element of Morrell's Captain America story is the story's setting. "My story could have happened anytime after 9-11 because there are a lot of references to 9-11," Morrell said. "There are pictures of the Cole after th

The term “quagmire” and the beginnings of its overuse hark back to the Vietnam War; becoming part of the popular lexicon following the publication of David Halberstam’s Pulitzer Prize winning account of the Diem/Kennedy years of the Vietnam War, "The Making of a Quagmire." Just about every military intervention of the U.S. since Vietnam has been referred to as a “quagmire,” in one form or another. It has become a catchphrase that speaks volumes, however elicits no details other than the minds eye portrays. Once labeled a “quagmire” a war or battle has likely heard its last level headed remark made about it; that goes for those in support of or against the conflagration in question. There has to be a time that we will remove the majority of our forces from Iraq, however, a specific date cannot be selected and certainly not when things might be taking the kind of turn that may give us the first glimmer of a paced exodus that is actually based on a

Jules Crittendon article linkQuagmire! Disaster! Debacle! Another top al Qaeda leader Abu Omar al-Baghdadi reportedly killed in Iraq. This, combined with news that Sunni tribes now cooperating with the government may have killed al-Qaeda leader al-Masri, and the damned drop in sectarian violence, can only be taken as a sign of impending disaster! UPDATE: They cant even keep their story straight on who they are killing! Its a debacle! Counterterrorism Blog: Cracks emerging in jihadist coalition. Doom, I tell you! But there still is death and violence, undermining surge! What the devil could he possibly mean, Either well succeed, or we wont succeed. And the definition of success as I described is sectarian violence down. Success is not no violence What do you think, this is about fighting a war? Please.Bush on the ropes as Democrats, flashing defiance and bristling, retreat on surrender initiative! Hold on! UPDATE: Surrender monkeys vow to keep su
California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D - CA)
has taken her position as the first female Speaker of the House, and has officially ushered in a new Democratic era in American politics. The days of top-to-bottom Republican control is now over, and the change brings with it the possibility of some interesting battles between the governing Dems and President Bush. Never mind the obvious impeding duels on internal social issues where the Democrats and the Republicans are at the greatest of odds, the real attention-grabber is going to be on the Democrat's position on Iraq. Interesting primarily because they don't seem to have a position.
Many of the more leftist in the Party That Bill Built want to see a quick end to the American involvement in the war-torn nation. These are the party members who believed, as many voters did, that a Democrat victory would result in a quick Vietnam-style pull out. These 'cut and runners' are at odds with the more centrist elements of the party who
