THE ETERNAL DESERT SAND NAP

The two Spawn of Satan offspring of Saddam Hussein, Qusai and Uday, are dead. Food for sand fleas.  Outta here.  Kicked to the curb.  This is good news for the liberators, bad news for the Iraqi Islamogoon insurgents and our nation's college and university professors.

Somewhere over yonder there's an Iraqi citizen who is fixin' to get a check from Uncle Sam for about $30 million.  That's going to buy one pile of goats and camel, not to mention some fancy rims for their goat-carts.  Other Iraqis with stock wheels on their carts will become jealous .. and will more acutely aware of the $25 million that waits for them when they turn in Saddam.  Saddam knows this, as do his minions.  There will be initial outbursts of rage, but then these radicals are going to realize that the Americans are damned serious about all this --- and that they would be better off staying alive in a country being rebuilt with its own oil-wealth, rather than to join Mutt and Jeff in hell.

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. 

SEE YA ON MONDAY

It's moving time.  I've made my last drive to the studios from the northern 'burbs.  By this weekend I will be an official Midtown resident.  In the meantime, no computers = no Nealz Nuze.  We'll be back on Monday.

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 how!

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.
