This makes me sick. The constitution and rule of law exist to stop stuff like this from happening. "Accuse a judge of misconduct, get hauled off to jail, and no communication with the outside world." Pass it along if you have a venue to do so. This needs as much Searchlight as it can get.
HT to Libercontrarian.
Anybody else been noticing an increase in Plane crashes lately? It's gotten to the point where I'm wondering if it's coincidence or enemy action.
More good news from Iraq, courtesy of Arthur Chrenkoff and Winds of Change. We're going to miss Mr. Chrenkoff when he goes, but looks like others will be taking over.
Powerline has an excellent debunking of Paul Krugman's foaming at the mouth while keeping head in the sand technique on Social Security.
Captain's Quarters covers an Independent Sources research about Barbara Boxer's campaign donations from Milberg Weiss. For anyone else reading this in California, I suggest that it's long past time to vote her out. This shows where her loyalties lie, and it's not with the economic well being of this state (Disclosure: I've always voted against her).
While we're talking about Captain's Quarters, he has a good article/editorial about the consequences of the Democrats deciding to offer only token opposition to Roberts. It would be nice if they did more of this. I may be a Elephant-leaning somewhat-libertarian, but the thought that the Donkeys may not be nationally competitive upsets me. We need at least two competitive national parties for a true democracy. We shouldn't allow any party a long-term monopoly of power. So when outbreaks of rationality on the part of the Donkeys happen, I think of it as an good sign and it makes me happy and I want to encourage it. ("Sir," says the sensor operator on the US Rational, "We just had a momentary contact. One ping and it was gone. Sir, do you think it might be the Democrats, come back to look for us after all these years?")
Carnival of Liberty is up over at Eric's Grumbles. Especially worthwhile: The Unrepentant Individual, No Government Cheese, Kid Various, Different River
I'm hosting next week. Please send your entries either to carnivalofliberty@gmail.com or submit using the form at Conservative Cat here. You may also submit to me direct at the email listed, but that means I have to forward the submission for the archives.
This and this from Iraq the Model are good signs. If you really want to read an excellent response to a certain unhappy camper in Crawford that I'm doing my best to ignore here, use the link on the right to go to their main page and scroll down to the entries for August 12th. I'm sorry the woman lost her son. It doesn't improve her grasp of any other subject, which, as far as I can tell by the way she runs her mouth, is non-existent. She wants attention, but I don't have to give it to her. 'nuff said.
INDC Journal has a wonderful debunking of the Anti RU-486 hysteria. I really don't like abortion. The whole idea behind having an abortion is you're killing what would otherwise and in the normal course of events become a human being. I have this old and outdated idea that if I help start a life, I'm indebted to that life to a certain extent, and even if I was a female, nine months of pregnancy is well within the bounds. But I can't build up anything more than a desire for fewer women to use RU-486. Maybe it's just the chemical nature of what's going on that bothers me less, and logically, I realize this is ridiculous; the same objections apply just as strongly to RU 486. But I don't want abortion banned, either. Severely discouraged, yes. Harder to get, yes. Banned? No.
I try to get to Michael Yon's site at least once per week. He's got three wonderful reports of what he saw while embedded. I suggest you read him for a real idea of what it's like in Iraq.

- Day by Day It is site policy to list the main page of every site I reference. Sometimes the real world intervenes and I haven't gotten to it yet, or one falls through the cracks on a long post with multiple references. It is also site policy to list the main page of every site that lists this one on their equivalent roll, as well as the main page of all sites that are members of any of the same groups this site is a member of. Please send me an email with a link to the main page of your site if I've overlooked you (dm at the domain name). For the clue-challenged, note that it is a requirement for your link to appear on every page of your site, just like mine does, and I will not link to spam sites.
Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
