On my flight down to CPAC I sat next to a nice gentleman who is a scientist with a fine wife and a young child. We talked about all kinds of things one being my blog.
Lo and behold I have received an e-mail from him saying that he enjoys the blog and has decided to go down that same path.
So let me introduce to you my very first (known) blogchild…
In the last of my congressional interviews Stacy and I talk to Patrick Murray running for Congress in the Virginia’s 8th district:
As I mentioned in the interview there are an awful lot of ex military that seem to be running for congress. That’s a good thing. This is also the second to last video from CPAC waiting to go up (not counting the field guide to bloggers).
Oh and if you are wondering why there was so much background noise, the answer is here:
….Shelly just popped over with a sup pump and she and the wife came back with a long hose and the cellar is even now being pumped out, sure beats the two hours of the bucket brigade that we went through today.
Once it is dry we’ll have the furnace guy in to safely turn the heat back on and then tomorrow and a bit today we can begin the process of throwing out tons of stuff that will soon be moldy.
It’s a real shame but what can you do, this stuff happens to everybody sooner or later so I guess it was our turn, but there is a real pleasure seeing friends come through when you need them.
I am one of the luckiest men who has ever lived.
Let’s take the way back machine to December of 2008 in the first few weeks of this blog…
You can take this to the bank: Any successful attack on American soil during an Obama administration is going to be wholly owned by not only that administration but the Democratic party.
It won’t matter how diligent or responsible the administration has been. It won’t matter that they acted in good faith which any fair minded person must assume. It won’t matter if like Hornblower in Hornblower during the Crisis members of the current administration and people who understand how hard it is to be right every time rush to their defense. The public will remember who succeeded in protecting the country and who failed particularly if a major population center is successfully hit.
This was written in reference to trials (and lo and behold they will not take place) but they work equally well with this:
That brings us to the main point. Republicans have mostly supported this bill because they believe it a necessary tool for counterintelligence and counterterrorism. Democrats mainly opposed it as a way to rally political opposition to Bush and the Republicans. Now that they’re in charge and responsible for preventing attacks, that Patriot Act looks pretty darned good to most of them.
There is nothing like actually having responsibility to make people choose to act, well responsible, after all this isn’t just a question of a few dollars for pals, this is a question of life and death..
