Powerline has a brief article here and reference to John Hinderaker's Weekly Standard column Second Thoughts on Kelo, walking the rhetoric back a bit. Okay, walking it back a lot. However, there are still fundamental problems in eminent domain as highlighted by Kelo vs. New London, as I and many others have addressed before. If you have another problem a proposed solution must deal with, please get back to me as I'm also looking to do a round up of proposed solutions to problems with eminent domain, either here or as part of Carnival of Liberty #2, which I'm hosting. So please email me links to proposed solutions you have either written or run across. If we all look for ways to improve a solution, and then get behind it, it has a better chance of being adopted!

The Jawa Report plays compare and contrast. Inspired by Daily Kos and also here (note: this link gave me a message of " DailyKos is undergoing some maintenance right now. It'll be back up just as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience." so methinks it's about to go into deep denial as other areas of the site were available)



Charles Johnson at Little Green Footbals provides a partial shot.



Jawa Report also has a post on the sick pervert accused of the Groene murder kidnap etcetera. He happens to be a blogger. Warning: I read below the click and now I need a shower. Eeeewwww!

Tom at Tom Rants has notes that China and Russia want US out of Central Asia

Pennywit at Wizbang asks When are you guys going to leave the Republicans?



The short answer is when the Donkeys are based somewhere closer to reality...



Donkey policy in War on Terrorism consists of inserting head into ground and loudly chanting "la-la-la-la I don't see anything! La-la-la-la I don't hear anything!"



Donkey policy on Social Security is to blatantly deny reality in hopes the blue hair set will stick with you a little longer. Denial on this score is worse than any deficit spending GWB or the "hard line" Republicans have been accused of. We've known since the mid 1970's that this was a problem.



Donkey policy on Homeland security is "Borders? We don't need no steenkin borders! We don't got to show you no steenking borders!"



Donkey policy on economic development and enterpreneurship amounts to CABIN - Communist All But In Name. Punish the innovators, discourage competition, make it impossible to succeed, protect the fiefs of the donkey party.



I am severely not happy with many things the elephants have done. But on every single issue that really makes a major difference to the future of this country, the elephants are at least somewhere within plain sight of rational. The last sensor contact with the donkeys from rationality was 1994. Joe Lieberman keeps trying to drag them back, but the gap appears to be continually widening.

World According to Nick has a justifiable allergic reaction to "nice healthy SPAM."

Dean's World has an excellent articulation of a point I've been making for a long time now. Citizen Smash at Indepundit also. The idea that there exists a constitutional right to abortion is a non-starter for anyone with a reasonable reading level. It is not to be found in the text. The Supremes have given Congress and the state legislatures a thirty year get-out-of-doing-your-job-free pass on this issue. I believe that if Roe is overturned, the donkeys will benefit from the sudden absence of one of their most committed adversary groups, and that the elephants will be suddenly free to take different, more centrist, positions on many issues. It would be an interesting couple of cycles to see how the political chips fell. Speaking as someone who wants abortion to be legal and available (although discouraged), I want Roe overturned so we can come to some kind of consensus as a society, instead of judgement twisting litmus tests in order to preserve (or overturn) a decision that was wrong then, and is wrong now.



Hat tip: Strange Fictions

Sorry about the late posting time of this. Spent most of the day trying to find a little bit better loan pricing for a prospective client.
