WP-Members Update

July 27, 2007 | Filed Under WP-Members | 6 Comments

I have been incredibly busy this summer with a number of projects so unfortunately, WP-Members has suffered. When I came back from vacation, there were quite a few unaddressed issues in the comments. I will be looking into those issues and will be releasing at minimum a version with bug fixes and, if I can find the time, some additional features that are on my list.

My Holiday Entertainment

July 3, 2007 | Filed Under Editorial, Politics | 2 Comments

There should be plenty of commotion and hubbub over the 4th of July holiday to keep me plenty amused. About what, praytell? Scooter Libby.

The commuted sentence for Libby should cause a great deal of crying and bed wetting from the extreme liberal crowd. They will whine and carry on about how it is a political favor, etc., etc., ad nauseum. They will say that it is a travesty of justice the Libby not serve his time like other criminals (Paris Hilton, anyone?). You might even see a few uneducated bloggers refer to this as a pardon (which it is not).

But the bottom line is Libby was implicated in an investigation for which there was no actual crime. Second, I expect the liberal bloggers and the media to conveniently forget such things as the Marc Rich pardon (and other Clinton pardons) that were likely (or obviously, depending on your political affiliation) political favors. And what about Sandy “The Pants” Berger? Talk about a cover-up. This guy was caught in the National Archives stuffing classified documents down his pants, only to “lose” them somewhere. What was he trying to cover up? We will never know, nor does the media care one iota.

But they will care about Scooter Libby. People are in danger with such a criminal roaming about. Can you believe the gall of the President for the pardoning (read: commuting the sentence) of such a dangerous thug?

Meanwhile, no one cares about the grinding away of the Constitution by such abhorrent decisions such as Kelo v. New London, or the complete disregard for the rule of law by pandering to a group of people that cannot even vote (yet).

Author and talk radio host (and apparently personal adviser to Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss) Neal Boortz put it best when he said that Bush “has figuratively flipped off his leftist critics.”

All of the whining this commuted sentence will cause on the left is my recompense.
