playing catch up on the blogosphere
1. On the Supreme Court nomination of Harriet Miers - I'm amazed and stunned by the snobbishness and elitism of conservatives in regards to this nomination. I think their reaction is downright embarassing. Go read Baldilock's post on this. Her thoughts are very close to mine.
2. On the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize - OMG, I was completely shocked by that reward. Bad enough that Yassar (that's my baby) Arafat and Jimmy Carter have been recipients - but this is totally absurd. Jay Tea at Wizbang has a great post about this. And of course, Laurence has a few words.
3. Al Gore's take on Freedom of the American Press - just go read Hubris.

There used to be a time in which The Nobel Peace Price meant something. Sadly, it has devolved into a Euro-Socialist feel-good farce.

Oh - and another thing. When I first read the Headline: "Mohammed El-Baradei and the IAEA have received the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize"...
For a second there I thought that, that El-Baradei bofoon was sharing the Prize with a Swedish Furniture Manufacturer.
I had to make a second take.

What Boq said, and that includes giving it to Carter.
Thanks for the link, Beth :-)

On Harriet Miers.watch and see. I like Mr.Bush,and I trust him. Everyone wanted to turn the nomination into a fight Mr.Bush is a man of peace,and this is a tactical move. I think she is a conservative sleeper. Watch and see.
