6. “Today, America speaks anew to the peoples of the world: All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for liberty, we will stand with you.”
5. We must pony up for the African Union security force.
4. “I strongly reject drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge because it would irreversibly damage a protected national wildlife refuge without creating sufficient oil supplies to meaningfully affect the global market price or have a discernible im...

Our hunting trip for the day found us next door to the Lost Trail National Wildlife Refuge, near Marion, Montana. The weather was less than stellar and the hunting not much better but the ride around the refuge north road provided a nice finish to tramping around in the woods in the rain.
The 7,885 acre [...]

Hurricane Gustav caused at least 33 oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico, ranging in size from simple sheens to 8,000 gallons. While the damage was far short of the 8 million gallons spilled by hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the storm did drench brown pelicans. About 20 birds were located in an oil spill about 25 miles northwest of Breton National Wildlife Refuge. The U.S. Coast Guard called in Buddy Goatcher, an environmental contaminants specialist with the U.S. Fish and Wildl... more

Just voted for Ron Paul. Jon Cornyn is running against a Texas secessionist, so I had to vote for him in the primary too. If it looked like Huckabee had a chance, I’d vote McCain, but as it is I had to raise my fist in protest and vote my heart, now that my man Romney is out of the race.
Hillary is going to win Texas. Oklahoma and Tennessee went pretty solidly for the Billiary, and I see northern and western Texas democrats voting the same way. Obama has momentum, and it will be... more

The VA supreme court deemed unconstitutional the new taxes being levied by the Northern Virginia Transportation Alliance. This is a little awkward given that these taxes had already begun to be collected two months ago. Justice Goodwyn wrote the majority opinion:
“If payment of the regional taxes and fees is to be required by a general law, it is the prerogative of the General Assembly, as provided by Article IV, Section 1 of the Constitution, to make this decision,” said the... more
Turns out Clinton bought stock footage from 10 years ago for the TV ad of a little girl sleeping soundly in bed while Hillary answers the phone and keeps her safe.
Obviously the girl didn’t even know about it until her brother noticed on Jon Stewart’s show last Thursday. She prefers Obama’s “positive view of the future” to Clinton’s “fear-mongering”:

Now this has the potential to be a huge nasty disaster:
Even if a consensus emerges, the answer to a key question — who would pay for mail revotes — remains up in the air. The states have said taxpayers won’t foot the bill. And Mr. Dean insisted the national party would be saving its money to defeat the presumptive Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain.
“The first thing we’re going to do is follow the rules,” he said on CBS’s “Face the Nation... more
