Man, I almost fell out of my chair laughing. On Cavuto today, Monica Showalter of Investor’s Business Daily was on to talk about an op-ed in her paper today stating that Nancy Pelosi has gone from “Feckless to Reckless” regarding her recent dumbass plan to partially drain the strategic oil reserves. IBD calls on Pelosi to resign. From the article:
Despite polls showing Americans in favor of drilling more oil from America’s huge untapped supplies, Pelosi won’t allow it. She just wants to empty our Strategic Petroleum Reserve for a short-term fix to get through Election Day.
It’s an irresponsible suggestion, signaling not only an ignorance of how the economy works but also a willingness to place the nation at risk in the case of emergency.
Last Tuesday, Pelosi sent a letter to President Bush urging him to release a “small portion” of the nation’s 706 million barrels of strategic-reserve oil to bring down prices.
Monica clearly stated her case without pause, and concisely noted “we have a troll at the bridge” who won’t let us access all of our own vast energy sources here in the United States. HAHAHA. Boy, what an image….and quite appropriate, I think.
Wow… we’ve lost another great one today. I was prepared to go straight to bed after having stayed up all night watching TV, but I turned on the TV to see that one of my favorite people, Tony Snow, had passed. I could not be sadder. He was only 53 years old, and colon cancer took his life. The world is missing a great friend today. Godspeed, Tony.
We all love you and miss you very much. A legend is gone.
Today on Laura Ingraham’s “Just In,” David Bellavia of VetsForFreedom and Jon Soltz of VoteVets were on to discuss Wesley Clark’s comments this past weekend on Face the Nation. Things went nuclear with Soltz, and he tried unsuccessfully to get his tepid point through. Two against one is never a good fight, especially if the two are specifically armed with accurate facts.
On Fox News‘ “Just In” today, Laura Ingraham welcomed a new U.S. Citizen to our country. For the first time ever, the naturalization ceremony was held at Arlington National Cemetery, presided over by Federal District Judge, T.S. Ellis. Seventy new U.S. Citizens were welcomed, including one Moroccan emigrant, Amina Thomas. Asked how she felt about becoming U.S. Citizen, Amina said it was a “dream come true.” Laura then asked her why she loved America, and I could only wonder to myself “why don’t more Americans feel this joy?”
“This is truly a wonderful day,” said Ellis, his voice cracking, as he gave an emotional tribute to the virtues of citizenship, U.S. history and the warriors buried around him. Speaking in a white-columned amphitheater dating to 1864, in front of a stone marker bearing the Latin phrase “e pluribus unum” from the Great Seal of the United States, he told the immigrants and their families: “It is a wonderful day for each of you, because today you will join the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
The judge’s passion flowed from his past. Ellis, 68, is also an immigrant, born in Bogota, Colombia. For years, he has presided over naturalization ceremonies on the third Thursday of each month at the U.S. courthouse in Alexandria. As he approaches retirement, he decided to try a different, more meaningful setting, court officials said.
“I did it to honor our country’s warriors and to give the new citizens a sense for what makes this country great,” Ellis said. The judge, known for his thorough legal opinions and an occasionally irascible demeanor, said he “didn’t want any politicians” attending the ceremony. After the immigrants took their oath, Ellis greeted each one personally, choking up as he hugged a new citizen wearing a U.S. Navy uniform.
He then told a woman from Iraq that he was “honored that you chose to be an American.”
Watch Laura’s interview with one of our newest fellow Americans, Amina Thomas, here.
Today’s premiere of Fox News‘ “Just In with Laura Ingraham” started out with a bang. Former Presidential candidate, Fred Thompson, was on to discuss the recent Supreme Court rulings on foreign enemy combatants among others. Pleased he was not.
I just wish that Fred would have been this enthusiastic during the early days of the primary season, because he’s truly someone who could have been a fantastic Commander in Chief for this country.
Today on Fox News Watch, the final piece of the show was devoted to honoring Major Andrew Olmsted, who was KIA in Iraq. He left a final post to be made on his behalf in the event of his death.
I do ask (not that I’m in a position to enforce this) that no one try to use my death to further their political purposes. I went to Iraq and did what I did for my reasons, not yours. My life isn’t a chit to be used to bludgeon people to silence on either side.
There was no commentary from the panel, nor was any necessary. May you rest in peace, Major. Godspeed.
Folks, after tonight’s SC debate, I URGE all South Carolinians to PLEASE vote for Fred Thompson in the primary!!!! Here’s just one short exchange to further my point. He’s got the fire in the belly we’ve been waiting for.
We need a leader like Fred to take us into the future. He may not be the next Reagan, but frankly, there will never be another Reagan. But we can hope for and choose someone just as good - like Fred D. Thompson.
You are a Freedom Crusader, also known as a neoconservative. You believe in taking the fight directly to the enemy, whether it’s terrorists abroad or the liberal terrorist appeasers at home who give them aid and comfort.
