There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him.   -- Robert Heinlein

MOVING

This will be the last Nealz Nuze until next Monday.  No ... it's not a vacation. I'm moving.  This morning was my last commute from the hinterlands.  Wish me well!

TWO DEAD MUTANTS

Saddam's two spawn of Satan are dead.  I hope it was painful, not just being turned into goo on the sheetrock by some explosive round. A good sucking abdominal wound would have been nice.  

The Iraqi militants will lash out with rage at first ... but that's only at first.  They will soon realize that their situation is hopeless, and it would be better to just decide to live in the new Iraq than to get themselves killed.  Some Iraqi informant is going to pick up about $30 million in reward for disclosing the location of Mutt and Jeff.  That will buy a lot of goats.  Other Iraqis with fewer goats are going to want to be the first in their neighborhood to turn in Saddam and pick up another cool $30 million.  Saddam knows this, and so do his Islamogoon supporters.  The desert sand is running through the hourglass.

Me?  I'm waiting for some bleeding-heart, left-wing, politically correct moron in this country to say that the U.S. soldiers used unreasonable force yesterday.  Qusay and Uday could have just been starved out, or we could have sent in a negotiating team.  You wait, these cretins will surface.  Sooner rather than later.

SPORTSMANSHIP

I don't exactly get all worked up over bicycle racing, I can't understand, for instance, why the U.S. Postal Service is sponsoring a team .. in France.  I do understand, though, that Lance Armstrong is quite possibly the greatest athlete in the world today.  My admiration for the sport increase quite a bit yesterday when I read the details of Lance Armstrong's crash. Some French kid (a budding anti-American, no doubt) managed to loop the handle of a bag he was carrying around Armstrong's handle bar, and down goes Armstrong.  At the time of the accident Jan Ulrich was in second place, a mere 15 seconds behind Armstrong.  When he saw Armstrong go down.  He stopped and waited for Armstrong to remount and get moving again before he resumed the race.  Now just how many sports do you know where this would happen?

TYPICAL UNION BEHAVIOR

This is happening at Heathrow airport in London.  Workers for British Airways are refusing to work.  They're upset that British Airways is instituting a system whereby they use a coded card in a reader machine when they report to and then leave work.  Imagine that!  Actually keeping tract of the time that you're on the job!  Well, in typical fashion, the unions don't like it.  Goonion employees are slowing down and staying off the job, stranding thousands of travelers at Heathrow.  This, my friends, is the union mob mentality at work. Do as little as you can get away with, and scream loudly when your employer, the person actually paying the bills, demands a little accountability.

THE SPIN CONTINUES

I heard those now-famous 16 words in Bush's State of the Union speech referred to as a "mistake" and an "error" on CNN this morning.  They were neither.  The statement was true.  How in the ever-loving hell can a factual, though insignificant sentence like this get so much attention?  The answer?  It's being driven by the media.  No other reason. 

YEA DENNIS MILLER!

Here's a quote from an article in the Weekly Standard about Dennis Miller's journey to the right:

"I don't think of myself as a classic conservative," says Miller. "I think of myself as a pragmatist. And these days, pragmatism falls into the conservative camp. We have to depend on ourselves in this country right now because we can't depend on anyone else. We are simultaneously the most loved, hated, feared, and respected nation on this planet. In short, we're Frank Sinatra. And Sinatra didn't become Sinatra playing down for punks outside the Fontainebleau [Hotel]." 

THOUGHTS 

Cuba is jamming Voice of America broadcasts into Iran.  In my mind this makes Cuba complicit in terrorism.  So, whatchagonnado?

There is, believe it or not, a perfume that women can wear that will make men think that they actually weigh less ... an average of 17 pounds less.  Hillary bathes in the stuff. 

READING ASSIGNMENTS

We put this one on the top today.   Its' from Mona Charen.  The first paragraph should make you want to read the rest:  "For months, liberal Democrats have been fumbling and stumbling - attempting to get out from under a huge boulder labeled "soft on defense." Now, they think they've found the key: Transform the nearly flawless liberation of Iraq into a scandal."

Now here's an interesting title for an opinion piece.  "Feminists want women to control their bodies ... except their breasts."

Tony Blankley is right ...

there is a bit of a storm brewing against Saddam from the right.  I, for one, am disgusted at the way this man is expanding the size of the Imperial Federal Government.

How Democrats act when they don't know microphones are around ... and hot!

Yesterday's Latin.  I loved the razor so much I bought the company.  Okay, so we had to use the Latin word for company that really translates into companionship ... but many of you got it anyway.

Read this story ... it's sure to make you feel pretty smug when you read about what is so damned important to some people.  Dubs and the Hip Hop "culture."

Here is some good news.  The House is standing up to some of the worst provisions of the so-called "Patriot Act."

Read the machinations that Beltway politicians go through to prevent a program for school choice in the nation's Capital.

Democrats are oh-so-good at attacking Republicans ... but do any of you have any idea just what the Democrats own agenda is?  If not, maybe its because they don't have one.  This from David Limbaugh.

Why is Bush being attacked so relentlessly in the media.  Brent Bozell says it is because he showed strategic boldness and obtained a quick military victory ... something Clinton, the darling of the media, couldn't do.
