A Shadow Cabinet to Be Reckoned with
Michael Howard (Folkestone and Hythe: South East) has done wonders with his frontbench. The shadow cabinet shown on page 4 of todays Telegraph is highly impressive although I do have some reservations (more of which later).

ROPMA and their fellow terrorist/genocidal maniac appeasers are whingeing they can’t riot…I mean march by 10 Downing Street and Buckingham Palace to protest about Bush’s visit to London. The Evening Standard has a list of the rabble that plans to protest. CND is probably the most centrist organisation listed. Melanie has posted her thoughts on the visit.
Right on cue, some ignorant anti-Bushie pops up in the comments section repeating their mantras. Jackie has posted her thoughts on the terrorist appeasers collective that will be in London next week. Iain has spoken as well.
In further good news, London has been declared by Control Risk Group as under major threat. The threat to London is medium, while the US and the rest of Western Europe is at low. The ES pondered whether this had something to do with the fact that there seem to be so many Islamo-fascists living in the UK.
Mike posts about a Victor David Hanson piece on the true threat we all face.
Update: The great Oliver Kamm has written a wonderful piece on the true nature of those planning to riot…protest next week.

Just in case you have not seen it, he has written another good piece.
Quite why he quotes that prat Max Hastings is beyond me.
One does wonder whether it will take a rather large and nasty bomb in the middle of Paris or Berlin to get the Euro-cowards to get with the program. More worringly is the thought that such an action still would not make them budge. (IE: They would all blame Bush and Blair, then carry on as normal.) How many dead Western Europeans will it take?

From: Rational Review
“Give yourself zero points for every (A), two points for every (B) and five points for every©. A score of 24 means that you are in perfect, 100 percent accordance with the policies and positions of the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, or NASDAP, known colloquially as the Nazi Party. A score of 40 or more suggests that you made it to Argentina before that traitor Doenitz betrayed the Fhrer’s memory and the honor of the Volk by surrendering the Reich.” (11/10/03)

From : Rational Review
“Does the jurisdiction of our federal government encompass the authority to enslave all of America? It does not, of course. To rhetorically ask the question seems ridiculous. After all, our government was created to protect freedom, not abolish it. But, if what most Americans believe about the federal income tax were true, the tax laws written by Congress say that the federal government is allowed to, and is taking a percentage of what most Americans earn.” (11/10/03)

People are always complaining, “Where do they get these polls? Why don’t I ever get polled?”
Not a problem for me. I’m always getting polled. Which suits me fine, as I want to make sure the right-wing whacko view is accounted for. I don’t mind the time, as I can usually do some work on my computer and keep half an eye on the football game simultaneously. (There are exceptions, like the excruciating half hour I once spent giving my opinions on agricultural water-management, but at least I got the right-wing whacko view out. I think.)
But yesterday was the standard political poll, on national politics, what I thought of the Liberals (ugh!) and the Alliance/Conservatives (yay!).
There was one curious thing, though. The first couple of questions concerned Mike Harris running for leader of the new Conservative Party.
I might have missed something, but about a week ago, Harris pretty well unequivocally ruled out a leadership bid, though he was widely considered one of the front-runners. What’s going on here?
The way these polls are put together can include questions from any number of interested parties. You spend X thousands of dollars and you get your question or questions on the poll. So why would Harris or his people — or for that matter, the polling company — be interested in something that was supposedly off the table?
They could have sold that block of questions to someone else, but they didn’t. Strange.
My thanks to King of Fools, who has again come to my rescue. He set up my MT blog and all was fine until I discovered that I couldn’t edit the templates. That is, I could change them but the changes wouldn’t register on the blog.
He invoked powerful Geek Majik on it, and now I can edit to my heart’s content.
Not that I know squat about CSS and HTML anyway, so I’ll probably just end up stealing someone else’s design..
