RSSJohn Edwards, WHO?
I hear a voice from amid the hair spray and blow dryer sounds. Can it be? Yes, its John Edwards. Frankly I am having a difficult time remember exactly who he is. Oh no, he’s not going to bring back that tired two America’s speech again?
So John Edwards is going to set up a Southern Strategy for 2008. A What?
Former Sen. John Edwards is waging a one-man war on poverty that could serve as the springboard for a “Southern strategy” presidential campaign in 2008 built on the premise that the Democrat from North Carolina could do better across the South than Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.
“This is my campaign now – to eradicate poverty in America,” says Edwards, the son of a once-impoverished textile mill worker who had to borrow $50 to pay the hospital bill when Edwards was born. “I’m going to shine a bright light on Americans in poverty. It’s personal for me.”
If its is so personal Mr. Edwards maybe you would like to show everyone your personal wealth and then lecture to us about poverty and those two America’s.
By the way former Senator Edwards in order to have a Southern strategy you should maybe have carried a couple of Southern States in the 2004 Democratic Primaries other than South Carolina. You couldn’t beat a Northeast Liberal like John Kerry in the South, what makes you think that you can form a winning strategy against Hillary Clinton? John Edwards could not win re-election in North Carolina as a Senator and somehow he has a “Southern Strategy”? This is priceless.
Let’s face is John Edwards “Southern Strategy” is going to have a tough time getting over this little hurtle.

China, You’ve Come A Long Way Baby
Looks like China has decided to join the 21st Century with some woman’s right. The Chinese government has banned restaurants from serving food on the bodies of naked women.
The ban also aims to stop businesses from using nude models to promote their goods, Xinhua news agency reports.
The practice of eating sushi off naked or nearly-naked women has long been popular with a certain clientele in Japan.
But the authorities in the Chinese city of Kunming criticised it at the time of the fine as both unhygienic and an infringement of women’s rights.
No kidding, really?
Howard Dean, Democratic Mouth Piece
Looks like Howard Dean has managed to put his foot in his mouth again. A Freudian slip or a misspoken word; Dr Dean is the spokesman & Chair for the DNC. One would think that Dr Dean could get his facts straight in an unchallenged interview like he had with Tim Russert this weekend on Meet The Press. Then again many of the things Howard said were a bit questionable.
“But the thing that really bothered me the most, which the 9-11 Commission said also wasn’t true, is the insinuation that the president continues to make to this day that Osama bin Laden had something to do with supporting terrorists that attacked the United States.”
Interestingly that Howard Dean was on Meet the Press unchallenged. One can only imagine how flustered and the “memory lapses” that he will have when he actually is called on some of his outlandish comments.
More to follow on Howard Dean, the Republican’s best friend.
Looks like Michelle Malkin and the 1754 Blog are posting too on the Dean gaff.
The FEC Ticking Clock on Internet Freedoms
Red State.org reminds us of the impending date for the FEC o determine our on-line freedoms. This is something that we all must think about and deal with. This is an issue that affects all sides of the blogosphere. This is a very important read and extremely important issue to the internet.
However, I have to take pause with one comment that I have seen regarding this matter and I am sure many of us have this same thought and fear.
FEC requires the “full name and postal service address” of commenter’s for regulations which, among other things, requires blog writers to disclose their (guess) … full name and postal service address? Obviously, desiring to remain pseudonymous, I will not comment. The irony of the selection bias which they have set up will no doubt be entirely lost on them, however. I want to help defeat this, but I’m not sure how.

Laura Bush, GWB’s Not So Secret Weapon, Part II
More on Laura Bush and her Middle East trip. What a remarkable job even in the midst of the tensions of what is the Middle East. Funny, there does not appear to be as many protesters as the original reports made there out to be. The Gateway Pundit has a great review of First Lady Laura Bush’s travels. Including video of her speech. A great read on Laura Bush promoting woman’s rights in the Middle East. I am sure in America that NOW is backing the First Lady.
Don’t forget go to the Gateway Pundit.
Update: More video of Laura Bush at Jackson’s Junction
