Donks In Hiding - Plotting Evil

Pssst! Can you keep a secret? Good. The evil Donks are in hiding at an undisclosed location (a spa & resort somewhere in Virginia) and they’re plotting evil plans to destroy America. In other words, business as usual for the Lunatic Lefty Party. They’ve invited the Commander In Chief to come “talk” to them. I hope he doubles up on the Secret Service guards.

BTW, the evil Donks have barred reporters from eavesdropping on their covert conference - except during the time Bush is present and they are grilling him over an open fire ... then the press is not only invited but will also be provided with barbecue sauce. This bodes ill ....

Democrats Escape to a Resort
_{WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (GUARDIAN-UK)) - Saturday February 3, 2007 3:31 AM}

The House Democrats’ escape to the seclusion of a resort was a short-term celebration that had all the elements of a honeymoon: optimism, hope - and a disagreement that may take some time to resolve. “The war, the war, the war,’’ House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, emerging briefly from the seclusion of a resort and spa, told reporters Friday.

But it’s what to do about the war in Iraq that has split the caucus. Among the questions: What should a House resolution, if there is one, on President Bush’s troop escalation say, and what should the Iraq strategy be if the president’s plan doesn’t crush the bloody insurgency there?

Democrats also have some other issues on which they’re not together, such as whether to accept a Senate-passed bill that pairs an increase in the minimum wage with business tax breaks or insist on their own wage increase-only version. And perhaps most thorny: Democrats say they heard the electorate’s demand for Congress to make laws, not just argue about issues. Are they unified enough to compromise?

Deeply divided over how much war opposition to express in any resolution on Bush’s planned troop escalation and what war or withdrawal strategy to advocate, Democrats invited some other expert perspective. Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Hoar, former head of U.S. Central Command, advised them Friday to plan for the failure of the war.

On Saturday, they were to hear from the war’s chief commander, Bush himself. Hoar, who believes the war was a mistake and has opposed the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, said he told the caucus to step in where the administration has not.

“I believe the secretary of state said that there’s no Plan B,’’ Hoar said. “I would hope that people would begin to think about the consequences of the inability of the Iraqi government to step up to these issues, and what we need to do in the region to prevent a failed state.’’

Bush will offer his views to the newly empowered Democrats in a session open to reporters. Then he retreats behind closed doors for a question-and-answer period that’s expected to be considerably more frank. Democrats have several questions ready, representative of concerns of the caucus, Pelosi said.

In talking points she left behind after a chat with reporters, Pelosi pointed out that while Democrats appreciated Bush’s visit, it was he who banned reporters from the question-and-answer session. Democrats, she said, “certainly’’ would answer questions. She did not mention that the caucus banned reporters from the compound, except for Bush’s visit.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
