I’ve signed up. Have you?

And ideally, I think that the next task should be to get John McCain out of the Senate, so he can’t do any more damage to the First Amendment, even if we have to replace him with a Democrat. Unfortunately, he was just reelected to another six-year term.

The Dutch are having their doubts:

The Government has announced that a referendum on the constitution will take place on June 1. It will be the first time that Dutch citizens are asked what they think of the EU.

While international attention has been focused on the French referendum, just three days earlier on May 29, the Dutch are far more likely to slam on the brakes of the constitutional juggernaut. Polls in France still show a majority in favour of the constitution, but the Government in The Hague has been shocked to find that a majority of its citizens are opposed, and by no small margin.

A recent poll was telling. It showed that 42 per cent of Dutch would choose to vote

Apparently, copyright violation, academic fraud, resume padding, and vile mindless leftist rants calling for the overthrow of the US government are healthy activities for one’s bank account, at least if you’re employed by the University of Colorado:

CU’s buyout offer will be in the “$3-$5 million range – possibly higher”

Hmmmm…not a bad payoff for Chief Pants-On-Fire.

If CU is seeing their out-of-state admissions fall now, just wait until the news of this gets out. Not to mention what may happen to alumni donations.

The link also links to a story about a professor who they have managed to release, with no buyout. But that was different–it was apparently because he’s a (presumably untenured) Christian. Can’t have that.

The Pirate Ballerina site seems to be down, for those wondering why the link was dead. But it was a link to a story at the Rockey Mountain News.

Why do I think that Bill Richardson is already after the 2008 Democrat nomination?

Somebody’s got to go after the non-Hillary Democrat hawk vote. Looks like he’s positioning himself to compete with Biden for it.

Amir Tehari says that Bill Clinton is burnishing his credentials:

Now some Democrats are demanding that Hiawatha Bray be fired from the Globe.

Again, I don’t think there’d be a problem if he had been critical of the president, instead of John Kerry.

The brave Moonbat Extraordinaire Bruce Gagnon (who Thomas James keeps a close eye on, so we don’t have to), has exposed the ongoing Nazi conspiracy at the heart of our nation’s space program.

Here’s an article in Rolling Stone (not exactly a triumphalist Republican magazine) about Moveon.org, explaining why the Democrats will remain electorally impotent for the foreseeable future:

For a political organization that likes to rail against “the consulting class of professional election losers,” MoveOn seems remarkably unconcerned about its own win-loss record. Talk to the group’s leadership and you won’t hear much about the agony of defeat. Wes Boyd — the software entrepreneur who used his fortune from creating the Flying Toaster screen saver to co-found MoveOn — blithely acknowledges the need to produce some electoral wins “in the classical sense.” But he sees the rise of MoveOn’s progressive populism as a moral victory in and of itself…

…Boyd is a whip-smart man with a deep passion for populist democracy. But speaking to him about MoveOn’s constituency is like speaking to someone who spends all day in an Internet chat room and assumes the rest of the world is as psyched as he and his online compatriots are about, say, the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He seems to conflate MoveOn with the rest of America. “We see ourselves as a broad American public,” he says. “We assume that things that resonate with our base resonate with America.”

In fact, there appears to be an almost willful ignorance about who actually composes MoveOn. “We’re pretty light on the demographics,” Boyd says without apology. “It’s funny, when we talk to people in Washington, that’s the first question we’re asked.” He adds with note of self-satisfaction: “We’ve been largely nonresponsive.”

Not to mention non-successful. There’s a term for people who gain “moral victories.” What is it again…? Oh, yeah–“losers.”
