Next week, Fred will announce he is running for President of the United States. The internet has been buzzing these past few hours and excitement continues to build as we near the day of his announcement.
The plan is Fred announcing September 6 by a webcast at www.imwithfred.com. Then Fred will head out on a five-day campaign tour through Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida before his homecoming in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.

A lawsuit I can get behind
Even a big tort reformer like me can get by this lawsuit against Alan Mollohan's buddy north of the Mason-Dixon line.
A retired military man like Murtha should know better. With his record of service, he understands the impact of Washington politicians who use blatant hyperbole against our troops in a time of war to forward their own aims. He apparently has decided to place his new found antiwar base ahead of the troops formerly under his command.
This man is no better than the Berkeley, CA hippie scum that spit in the face of soldiers getting off the plane after a tour in Vietnam. At least ignorance was their excuse, he has none.

I'm back, and the wait is nearly over!!!
I am back from an extended break from blogging to get my leisure time in before the 2008 Campaign starts gaining steam. Just like Fred, I found that jumping into the center of the Presidential Campaign in the summer of an odd numbered year to be pointless.
With a September 1st deadline looming to register as a candidate to the West Virginia Republican Party Convention, Fred Thompson has approximately 48 hours to register here.
My prediction is that he WILL participate in the West Virginia Convention, and I suspect his internal meeting today may be to inform his troops that his FEC papers are in the mail and that he will be announcing the day after the September 5th debate. He may even tell them the papers to participate in West Virginia are on their way also.
Did our state's deadline encourage him to set things in motion now so that he could participate here? I don't know, but that would be cool. It is hard to get used to WV as a key battleground state in Presidential politics. After all the defining moment of the 2004 Presidential Election took place in Huntington.
Guliani, Romney, Huckabee, McCain, and company have all been in the race for several months now, and the only significant developments has been the very predictable collapse of McCain and the emergence of Ron Paul as the official GOP hippie magnet (anti-war and pro-drug legalization)
Newt was right, it is pointless to have spent all of this Spring and Summer criss-crossing the country begging for attention.

Single digit Congress, anyone?
I am offering the following prediction:
By Election Day 2008, the Democrats will have ousted Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid. Right now, they are blazing a trail to see exactly how low approval ratings can go.
This morning, the White House astutely pointed out that Queen Nancy and Prince Harry have spent this entire year trying to sully a lame duck President rather than focusing on real legislative issues or Iraq.
This is a fight that President Bush should be willing to start. The President is facing approval ratings in the low 30's, while the Democrats are mired in the low 20's, and Harry Reid has even polled into the teens.
Bill Clinton's presidency survived the storm after impeachment by his famous "I am busy trying to do what is right for America" line while impeachment managers were trying to argue legalities about Bubba's perjury.
Red-district Democrats are somewhat hesitant to allow the Reid/Clinton/Kennedy/Pelosi agenda of more taxes, more welfare, and socialized medicine to move forward, and many small state Democrats astutely observe that surrender in Iraq will cost the party dearly, so they are stuck trying to pander to their base by trying to hold hearings that amount to no more than an echo chamber to the Daily Kos or MoveOn.org's crackpot theory of the hour. Judging by the polls, these little bones do not satiate this George Soros inspired beast.
Bush is a serious President dealing with serious issues. He can steal back a few of those in the disapproval column if he keeps on calling out the Dems in Congress on their foolishness.

From the "Where are the Parents?" section...
How many 4 year olds do you know have the attention span to do something like this?
Hat Tip: Neal's Nuze (radio talkmaster Neal Boortz)
CARPENTERSVILLE, Ill. (AP) - Authorities tracked down a 4-year-old girl who called 911 nearly 300 times last month by offering to deliver McDonald's to her suburban Chicago apartment.
Unbeknownst to her mother, the girl used a deactivated cell phone to call dispatchers 287 times in June—sometimes as often as 20 times a shift. Dispatchers heard the child's voice but could only track the phone's signal to the apartment complex.

"I am very happy for Scooter Libby. I know that this is a great relief to him, his wife and children. While for a long time I have urged a pardon for Scooter, I respect the President's decision. This will allow a good American, who has done a lot for his country, to resume his life."
