In DC - the representatives of our fine nation are possibly going to vote on an International treaty called 'The Law of the Sea Treaty' (LOST). Up for debate is where, how, and who administers the open seas. That means lawsuits, fines, and other nasty governmental reaches.  LOST was rejected by Regan back in the 80's for several reasons. But now it looks like Bush may be in support of the US signing on.

Published at TCS Daily, Roy Spencer gives a periodic update on the other side of Global Alamism Grant writting fanatism, Warming.  A few more questions need to be answered before we can assume the worst - Is the planet coming out of a 400 year "mini ice age" ? 
- Are NASA thermometer reading across the world being skewed by "local spurious heat influences" (concrete, AC fans, sprawl in general etc). ?
- How much grant money is available for global warming "research"?

"I won’t be bullied on SCHIP.”
By Michelle Malkin • October 9, 2007 10:07 AM Good for you, Rep. Tim Walberg:

Right now if you listen to a popular country radio station in south-central Michigan, you can hear advertisements spreading lies about my position on S-CHIP (State Children’s Health Insurance Program).

The station selection for this ad seems appropriate for House Democrats, whose blatant twisting of the truth is fit for a remake of Garth Brooks’s classic song “Friends in Low Places.”

First it was the NY Times, printing for the world to see, exactly how the Pentagon acquires secret information on Al Qaeda via certain intercepts of communication. Thanks! That saved lives - Al Qaeda lives. . . Terrorist lives . . . who now have more time to shoot at our troops in the field, plan more attacks against us, and cause the War to gone on yet even for longer.

Now ABC News has broken a story on how a Pentagon's secret internet systems detect Al Qaeda web broadcasts - intercepting messages before they hit the web. The last message picked up days pre-broadcast.

The Press (ABC/NBC/CNN/CBS/PBS/NPR/TIME/CNBC/NYT/NEWSWEEK) will only publish stories that sell advertisements (rating) and, of course, also have a hard left lean to them - hence a good news story from Iraq will not be published and if it is it will be minimized - back pages/downgraded/downsized/no pics no extended research - no follow ups - etc. Just count the 2006 NYT front page stories of 'Abu Ghraib' vs. US Army Victory stories.

Yet another video compilation from Youhootube showing how the positions of Democratic leaders on the war DRASTICALLY changed in the course of several months. Some of the flips are startling, like Mr. Kerry who lists Sadam as a murderer and about 24 months later states this is the wrong war, at the wrong time, in the wrong place. Only choice french words come to mind.

Take your blood pressure medicine first . . .

I am no blogo-maniac, but a few postings in the blogosphere deserve extra credit. For instance, this 7/30/2007 post on the NYT printing the "revelation" that the current strategy is producing excellent results. And that (could it be!) that the Iraq war is winnable (if that is a word).

Some of the best Conservative viewpoints have been up loaded to YouTube. (I am no fan of YouTube as it is owned by Google and Google donates to liberal causes and persons in large amounts, but) views on global warming, attacking Iraq, immigration and even taxation are worth seeing.

Some not to be missed videos . . .

Dems using scare tactics against the American people.
