A quick thought from today’s Morning Joe on Nuclear Power

Did some quick channel surfing this morning and got a glimpse of Morning Joe. They had Christine Todd Whitman on the TV talking about Nuclear power.

Other than the obligatory “Does Colin Powell belong in the republican party” question the statements on Nuclear were very relevant but everyone there is forgetting something concerning why we don’t get have more clean Nuclear power in the US today. The cause should be loudly proclaimed:


The reason why Nuclear power never advanced were environmental “community organizers” who litigated and protested plants to death supported by Hollywood, liberals and democrats. It was an energy policy driven by a Jane Fonda movie

Just as they want the country to forget which side they supported and appeased in the cold war our liberal friends will do their best to make sure this is ignored or part of one more grand revision a la the French Resistance/Collaborators.

Why conservative leaders don’t pin this tightly on these guys is beyond me.

Oh and one more thing about this Judge Sotomayor…

…the simple test is to reverse the words “Latina Woman” and “White Man” and imagine her as a white guy speaking to an audience saying that.

If you make the reversal and conclude that a man saying that would be an unacceptable racist then so is she.

Update: Darren Hutchinson thinks that it is a PR loser, he might be right but that doesn’t address the question on the floor:

If a White candidate made the statement as indicated above would he be disqualified for even a lower court position?

Reality should always trump PR.

Rich’s comic Strip the 10 doctors put up its 247th and final page today.

This is an incredible work that any Doctor who fan should enjoy. He has offered several different downloads of the story including notes etc.

If that isn’t worth a hit of his tip Jar I’d like to know what is.

A quick thought on Sotomayor…

…I would have thought that president Obama would have waited for his 2nd opening for this one due to her radical nature and opinions.

The media will mainstream her as best as possible but i don’t see any chance of her being stopped.

Since she is replacing a reliable liberal vote I would have saved this nominee for attempts to replace a more conservative justice.

I’m wondering if due to the Gitmo issues they felt the need to make sure they made their base happy right away.

We shall see how it goes.
