Man's Aquatic Ally

First of all, I know I've been a little AWOL lately. Moving from the heart of Washington D.C. to the heart of Kentucky (that would be Lexington) hasn't been the easiest transition, and needless to say I'm a little bit out of the loop as far as being an insider on information goes. Having said that, there's still plenty to blog about, and rest assured I will have numerous entries concerning decreasing levels of violence in Iraq as well as the irrefutable progress being made (lets face it, when CNN International does repeated pieces about the progress of the surge, you're hitting on all cylinders). But for now, I'm going to ease back into the swing of things with an actually really cool story. You can read the entire tale here:

Whats truly amazing to me is that this is not an isolated incident, but as you have now undoubtably read, dolphins have rescued humans from sharks and other dangers for thousands of years. So if the canine is Man's Best Friend, let me be the first to nominate the bottle nosed dolphin as Man's Aquatic Ally.

Deep State Blues

Late Monday evening, Deputy Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe announced he was leaving his position effective immediately, somewhat earlier than he had initially disclosed, as he was scheduled to leave sometime mid March. Although somewhat of a surprise, McCabe's departure from the FBI means different things to different people. Democrats and proponents of the Russia collusion story are taking this as a sign that DJT has his new FBI director Christopher Wray are forcing McCabe out. However big of a stink the opposition can make, a President is within his legal right to put in his team into the Department of Justice, regardless the importance of the position, as it is part of the Executive branch. That being said, it is important to note McCabe is not being fired, he is resigning from his post. What makes this newsworthy is the timing. Hours after McCabe announced he was leaving, the House Intelligence Committee voted along party lines to release an internal ...

Biggest Drain on the Species (3rd Edition)

BDOTS is here ladies and gentlemen! Just to refresh anyone's memory who may have forgot exactly how BDOTS (Biggest Drain on the Species) works, the award is given to an individual who's actions/comments are so blatantly hypocritical and self serving, this person is no longer just a detriment to the overall societal fabric, but an obstruction to the advancement of all human kind, and do I have a good one for you today. So good, in fact, that I am going to write to our candidate directly in hopes he may yet read this. Howard Dean, you have been a great sound bite ever since the 2004 presidential campaign. After your colossal campaign collapse, the Democratic National Party liked what it saw in your "grass roots" style, in which you employed eager volunteers with some new invention called the internet, resulting in a fairly effective money raising machine, and gave you the nod as the new DNC leader. Evidently, the DNC must have also liked the complete ineffectiveness...

Speaking of the Louse (Part 2)

This story just keeps getting better and better. Dec. 12, 2007: "On one occasion, in the fall of 2002, I was briefed on interrogation techniques the administration was considering using in the future. The administration advised that legal counsel for the both the CIA and the Department of Justice had concluded that the techniques were legal. I had no further briefings on the techniques...Jane Harman was briefed more extensively and advised the techniques had in fact been employed." Feb. 25, 2009: "No. No the fact is, they did not brief, well first of all, we're not allowed to talk about what happens there, but I can say they did not brief us with these enhanced interrogations that were taking place. They did not brief us. They were talking about an array of interrogations taht they might have at their disposal. But I can say flat out, they never told us that these enhacement interrogations were being used." April 23, 2009: "It is not appropriate f...
