SUCCESS IN THE WAR ON TERROR:

Traitorous doubters of Our Noble Lame Duck's GWOT strategy can be reassured by the latest poll results. Taking the truly small-"d" democratic viewpoint that the public at large can best judge how safe they are, we must conclude that it's working fine. When asked "What do you consider the GREATEST threat to the physical safety and security of Americans today?", the people only listed "Terrorist Attacks" in third place at a mere 10.60%, behind even "Illegal Immigration" at 16.71%.

Some of us can take comfort that our educational efforts have not been in vain by noting that the GREATEST threat was found to be, by a whopping 55.40%, those Axioms Of Evil known as "Liberalism" -- just what we've been telling you for years! Positive reinforcement! I am quietly proud.

The full poll results, by American Family News ("Your Latest News from a Christian perspective"), can be found at this page, which was spotted by that doyen of scarf fashionistas, Princess Sparkle Pony's Photo Blog.

SUCKER PUNCHING CONGRESS:

Our Noble Lame Duck throws the gauntlet out again. He's put Sam "swift boat ad funder" Fox in the very spot he withdrew him from when the Democrats stood up against him:
On Wednesday, with Congress out of town for a spring break, the president used his power to make recess appointments to put Fox in the job without Senate confirmation.

This means Fox can remain ambassador until the end of the next session of Congress, effectively through the end of the Bush presidency.
Of course this is willfully provocative -- in fact that is the whole point, just to anger the Democrats because they are so fun to watch when they sputter ineffectively. Let me pile on while they flounder, because I know they will never have the guts to do this:

If they really had spines, they would meet on the first day of the next session, then promptly adjourn for two days. That would make Fox the shortest "recess appointment" in history. If Bush dared do it again, they should repeat their rapid adjournment. They should just keep it up until he caves in -- or the government has to shut down because no appropriations have been passed.

Fortunately for my delight in watching them squirm, they don't have the guts, so the Deciderer will get to grind his boot into their faces again. His supporters are hungry even for symbolic victories, and this one is like Double Death By Chocolate.
