First, Rendell took the gasoline taxes and federal road funds away from the roads to prop up SEPTA, Philly’s public transportation system.
Now, SEPTA employees — of course, union employees — are on strike and SEPTA is down. They want better health benefits (and of course the liberals support the unions). So where, you ask, is the money for these increased health benefits going to come from?
Why yes, the rest of the state, just like before, either directly from our state taxes, or indirectly, from federal taxes which in turn are allocated to states to build and maintain roads.
So let me repeat what I said on Blue State Conservatives: Santorum’s race is important, but for us in Pennsylvania, booting Rendell out of office has to take the highest priority.

Losing what little minds they have over Alito:
New Name for this Chump: ASSholito
If you want an example of Rover at his best we now have it! When the enemy(dems) have you in a corner kick em in the balls and attack, attack, and attack again! Lets face it, the very first to drop the plame issue and turn to the SCOTUS will be liberals. Can we(libs) maintain a TWO front attack on the administration, we will see. I have lower expectations for the MSM. THe Dems have to get their act together fast and find a way to counter attack on all fronts. Rover has Struck again!
Though I like it when they start fighting:

Can we please resolve to call a spade a spade with the Scalito nomination. He favors “criminalizing abortion”.
Criminalizing abortion? (none / 0)
How about calling it ‘criminalizing choice.’

If you’ve never seen Bava’s Black Sunday (original title La maschera del demonio), then you haven’t seen one of the most beautifully made, artfully crafted horror movies ever made. This was filmed in 1960; this isn’t a gore fest by any means. But everything about this movie is art.

Pardon me if I seem a bit confused here; I’m hoping it will pass, though that would require a bit of introspection and thought on the part of a great many conservatives, and perhaps that is too much to ask for. Or so it seems, given the reason for my confusion.
In a year and two weeks, we have an election — an election we should easily be able to sweep, except that some of us seem so busy tearing down other conservatives, such as the President, that unless they get a serious clue, on election day they’ll be sitting on their lazy butts slinging mud at other conservatives instead of voting.
Sorry if I seem a bit irate, but I am. More than a bit, actually. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such stupid, self-destructive, mindless behavior, and worse, in the name of ideological purity.
On one mailing list, supposedly for conservatives, there are several people who do nothing but slam Bush and the party, because they’re just not conservative enough, socially speaking. Because Bush isn’t crying out for domestic terrorists to bomb abortion clinics, he has betrayed these poor dolts, I suppose. Meanwhile, they have nothing at all to say about spending, most likely because like most extreme social conservatives, they’re nanny staters — they just want a nanny state that enforces their little nanny state ideals.
Pardon me while I puke. I just can’t get excited about an American Taliban, be it left or right wing. And now, for some spriritual health and to purge your whiny crap from my brain, I’ll think for a moment of the father of modern conservatism, Barry Goldwater.
Now, I have no problem with social conservatives at all. I do have a problem with social conservatives who are the right wing counterparts of the Barbara Boxer club. But I have a serious problem when they’re doing everything they can to ensure a liberal victory in 2006.
Bush betrayed us! Bush betrayed us! Bush betrayed us!
Shut up, already. Or better yet, join that irrelevant Constitution Party so we don’t have to put up with your whiny nanny state crap. I’m not interested in your purity tests or your complaints; I’m just interested in keeping the liberals from killing us in 2006. And if you aren’t pragmatic enough to understand that, you’re a moron.

I don’t know if you’ve been following Maryland’s Lt. Gov. Steele’s election campaign, but the liberals can’t get much nastier than this:
Senatorial candidate Michael Steele’s campaign has blasted as “gutter racism†a blog containing a doctored photo showing Steele in minstrel makeup – part of what the Steele camp believes is a coordinated Democratic attack on the popular Republican.

Am I the only one who wonders why the liberals didn’t scream and howl about the Chronicles of Riddick? Sure, I know, it came out last year, but it happens to be on HBO right now and I’m again curious why there wasn’t more squealing about it.
If you haven’t seen it (it’s not a great movie, btw, even if it does have Vin Diesel in it, and even if it is a Sci Fi flick), we have a militaristic religion on jihad through the universe, who give you two choices: convert or die (sound familiar?). We have our hero, who defeats the jihadists.
There’s nothing subtle about the subtext or message of the film. Yet I didn’t hear a peep out of the multiculturalist Islam lovers. And I’m still wondering why.

After a year of utter incompetence and acting like they lost the election instead of won, after that liberal ass-kissing “please all you UN dictators, like us!” toothless torture legislation and its first cousin, the “let’s LOVE the terrorists and give them all the protections US citizens have” legislation, Frist and his castrated, brainless dolts have done something right.
They voted down Ted “She was alive when I was in the water” Kennedy’s minimum wage increase. Of course, the bed-wetters and welfare staters hate it, and that leads us to a hint for Frist and the Senate Republicans: if the liberals hate it, that’s a GOOD thing.
Course, it could be the million monkeys on a million typewriters thing. I’m not going to get hopeful that they’re growing brains and, er, intestinal fortitude.

I guess it’s priorities, but when we moved here, the first thing we looked for was food. Food, as in excellent. As in restaurants.
State College is much like Bloomington when it comes to food: Very little in the way of memorable food to be found, unless you make it yourself. There is a nice little Italian place, not amazing, but better than any Italian available in Bloomington, and reportedly a far better Italian place on the other side of town, which we have not yet tried.
We had nearly despaired, until we discovered Herwig’s. Actually, that’s Herwig’s Austrian Bistro, Where Bacon is an Herb. As cute as the motto is, it really should be Where the Food Will Make You Cry. (Their other motto is Austrian Soul Food, and that it certainly is.)
An Austrian couple and their very young son moved from Austria to State College, to work as travel agents. The opened a restaurant, and the rest is history. Well, not a restaurant, really; Herwig’s is a tiny place, with only six booths. There is no printed menu. What they have is what is written on the chalkboard that day.
There is a German restaurant in Bellefonte, but we haven’t yet been there. Herwig’s has bumped going down on our list of priorities.
It’s not Bavarian, but it’s similar. The potato salad is similar, but different. No bacon, for one thing, and less vinegar. The only thing we don’t like are the knödel (klösse in Bavarian German, anglicized in Jasper as glaze), which in Germany are potato dumplings, but in Austria are made from bread and, well, they aren’t happy objects to eat.
The sauerkraut alone is enough to make you weep with joy — and I am serious. I have had dreams about a large plateful of that kraut, and nothing else. This isn’t kraut out of a bag or a jar; this is homemade kraut, cooked with apples and bacon, and is one of the most wonderful things I have ever put in my mouth. If you don’t like kraut, I assure you that you will moan in ecstasy as you eat this.
Even the sausages are homemade — and much like those wonderful sausages they used to make at St. Meinrad. The wienerschnitzel is heavenly, golden brown with not even the smallest little overdone or underdone spot. And the apfelstrudel, well, you could sit there all day just smelling it, though you do have to resist the temptation to jump into the mounds of whipped cream and inhale it all at once.
They don’t make rotkohl. That’s somewhat sad, but you can’t have everything. There is that German place in Bellefonte we haven’t tried.
And if the food weren’t enough, the experience of eating there is a story in itself. The family speak Germlich, switching back and forth sometimes mid-sentence between English and German (the son has no perceptible accent; he’s been here since he was three, I believe), and it feels not like a restaurant but a sit-down meal in someone’s home. The owners come out and talk to you and ask how everything is, there are little signs on the tables informing you that if you don’t eat everything you will be beaten with a large red stick, which is hanging on the wall, or for $35 you may have a doggie bag, or if you inform them beforehand of your small appetite they will give you half the food for twice the money. And as small as it is, customers interact with other customers, as well as the family.
We’ve been twice. We’ll be going at least once a week. At least.
They have a website, sort of, and there are pictures on the menu:

Definitely State College’s best kept secret.
If you drive souteast of State College, the road takes you gently down into the lowest part of Happy Valley, and you will find yourself in lovely Boalsburg, population 3500, home to the Pennsylvania Military Museum and the birthplace of Memorial Day.
Boalsburg, like Bellefonte to the north, is a town of old Victorians, charming, and friendly. The Danes would certainly call it hygge, and had there been a house for sale, I would have liked to have lived in Boalsburg. Just past the large church on Boalsburg Road you will suddenly see a cow on top of a building. Not a small cow, or a medium-sized cow, or even a large cow, but a monstrosity of a cow. On top of the building. You can’t miss it.
That is Kelly’s Steak and Seafood.
Now normally, such an immense cow on top of a restaurant would give me pause, but having come from Bloomington, where by far the best quality food it to be found at a steakhouse (Little Zagreb, if you ever find yourself in Bloomington), one of the first things we did when we got here was ask if there were any good ones here. We got a couple of recommendations from people who consider Outback to be a steakhouse, and unfortunately tried them. Then, people started telling us to go to Kelly’s.
We were going to go to Herwig’s (see above) Friday night, but we had forgotten the Homecoming parade — and there’s no avoiding downtown to go to Herwig’s, since it is downtown. So we went to Kelly’s.
It’s a good thing we called ahead to make reservations. Kelly’s was packed, and if we’d just gone, we would have waited at least an hour. We followed the hostess through a tastefully decorated restaurant into the “lounge” (that’s the bar) at the back — next to a pool room. This was odd. It’s not the kind of place you’d expect to find a pool room, kind of a dressed-down LL Bean chic kinda place. It wasn’t a problem, however, just a bit strange.
The waitress appeared almost immediately and gave us menus. It’s a nice long menu, though not really what I’d call a steakhouse. There are a lot of non-steak, non-seafood choices, and the chef seems to be quite fond of macadamias, as there were five or six choices that in some way incorporated them.
Since Kelly’s had been recommended for its beef, I decided to do just that. Oddly enough, the steaks are more expensive than the prime rib, and given that the prime rib is the best gauge for how well any restaurant treats the king of meats, I ordered it.
Hot rolls (and I do mean hot) were placed on the table, with soft garlic butter. And as we discovered, this was not the usual garlic in name only garlic butter; this was the real thing, full of fresh garlic, gently biting and luscious. We gave Kelly’s many points for that garlic butter.
Our food arrived promptly. The prime rib had been advertised as coming with both horseradish and jus (also, pedant points to the chef for not advertising it “with au jus,” or some such ignorant nonsense). But there was no horseradish sauce; instead, fresh root had been shredded onto the top of the prime rib. Many points for originality, though how it would work would be another question.
Ah, what an idea that was! The horseradish was finely shredded, and there was not enough to be harsh or overpowering. But the prime rib was absolutely top-notch. Beef has never been more delicious than what I had there Friday night. Kelly’s gets an A and a gold star.
The prime rib came with mashed potatoes, and my only complaint is there should have been more. Outstanding buttery potatoes. The roast veggies, winter squash, carrot, red bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini, were fine, though unexciting (but there’s not much you can do to make them any better than they were).
Excellent food, at about the same prices as Little Zagreb. We will go back many times.
Ten miles northeast of State College is Bellefonte, the county seat. Bellefonte is a town of about 6500, and like Boalsburg, it is mostly beautiful old Victorians, and the feel of the town is every bit as hygge or warm and friendly as Boalsburg.
Where Boalsburg is definitely in the valley, lower than we are here just outside State College, Bellefonte is certainly not. It reminds me of Wayne, West Virginia, where I have kin, a town built on the mountain. If you go, make very sure your parking brake is in top condition, because you will likely park on a slope that makes the hills in San Francisco look positively flat. And if you’re into exercise, merely walking in Bellefonte will do it, since you’ll be walking up and down very steep slopes.
Another difference is that Boalsburg is much more like a small town in the rural sense, where there is a very tiny business district, but mostly houses — much like Smithville or Dubois (as in Dubois Indiana, not Pennsylvania). Bellefonte is the county seat, and has a larger, more well defined business district around the courthouse. It also has Spring Creek, a large mountain stream that provides the water for the area and runs through Bellefonte. It’s a lovely town, again definitely hygge, though not necessarily exciting (but that’s a good thing, thank you very much).
Next to the stream is the Bush House Hotel, and in it, Schnitzel’s Tavern, a Bavarian restaurant much like the Schnitzelbank (that would be the one in Jasper, again Indiana).
Herwig’s is divine, but they don’t do sauerbraten or rotkohl (whimper!) and the knödel are vile (being made from bread and being somewhat doughy in a nasty sort of way). So we hopped in the car and drove to Bellefonte Saturday, since it’s only ten miles. Even if the food was awful, Bellefonte is always lovely to look at.
The Tavern is beneath the hotel. The decor doesn’t approach the cheeze factor of the Schnitzelbank: no coats of arms on the walls and noboby in dirndls. The walls are sandstone, and the outside wall runs along the stream, with a table in front of each window.
We were given the lunch menu, which was a bit of a let-down: I mean, why on earth would you go out for a bratwurst sandwich? But at the bottom it says something like, “Some dinner entrees available, ask your waiter,” so we asked.
She rattled of a long list of things that were available — the sauerbraten was not, but that’s not surprising. We settled on the last item, the badischer schnitzel, wienerschnitzel served over buttered noodles and smothered in a quark sauce with mushrooms (she said sour cream, but it was quark), and rotkohl.
Oh. My. God.
You’re thinking that sounds really good, but you just don’t know. It was simply amazingly good. It was also heavier than your usual German fare, which is saying a great deal, and again, I left never wanting to eat for the rest of my life. The rotkohl was quite good, too.
We will go back there too, many times. She brought us the dinner menu and we’ll have to work our way through every item.

Remember that hysterical “Wal-Mart is destroying the US!” film the mooreon.org moonbats put out?
A scathing documentary on Wal-Mart’s business practices focuses its cameras squarely on Middlefield, zooming in on a family-run hardware store forced out of business by the retail giant’s recent arrival.
There’s only one problem: H&H Hardware shut down nearly three months before a Wal-Mart Supercenter opened around the corner in mid-May.

I’ll let you read the whole thing (or re-read it, since it was published before she was confirmed), but here are a few quotations that demonstrate why Janice Rogers Brown is the dream SCOTUS judge:
What is most remarkable about Brown’s jurisprudence is that she sees all basic individual rights as equally fundamental. Unlike many liberals, she counts property rights and economic liberties as deserving of judicial protection. In Santa Monica Beach, Ltd. v. Superior Court (1999), for instance, she dissented from a decision upholding a rent control ordinance, declaring that “[a]rbitrary government actions which infringe property interests cannot be saved from constitutional infirmity by the beneficial purposes of the regulators.”
In a dissent in San Remo Hotel v. City and County of San Francisco (2002), which upheld the city’s sweeping property restrictions, Justice Brown expanded on that theme. “Theft is still theft even when the government approves of the thievery,” she declared. “The right to express one’s individuality and essential human dignity through the free use of property is just as important as the right to do so through speech, the press, or the free exercise of religion.”
Brown also consistently upholds such rights as freedom of speech, privacy, and the rights of criminal defendants—a position that bothers many conservatives. In People v. Woods (1999), Justice Brown objected to a police search of a home justified by the fact that a roommate was an ex-felon. “In appending the Bill of Rights to the Constitution, the framers sought to protect individuals against government excess,” she wrote. “High in that pantheon was the Fourth Amendment guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures.”
Likewise, Justice Brown voted to strike down a warrantless search of a man arrested for riding a bicycle on the wrong side of the street. Describing the search as excessive, Brown noted that an arrest for such a silly infraction never would have taken place in an affluent neighborhood. “If we are committed to a rule of law that applies equally to ‘minorities as well as majorities, to the poor as well as the rich,’ we cannot countenance standards that permit and encourage discriminatory enforcement.”
[ … ]
Justice Brown is not a typical Republican judicial nominee. She understands the crucial role of courts in a constitutional republic: She is deferential to the elected branches when they act within their prescribed boundaries, but zealous in the defense of individual liberties against majoritarian tyranny.
Can you imagine a whole SCOTUS of judges like Brown and Thomas?
Janice Rogers Brown for the SCOTUS now!

From the Air Force Times. Seems the leftist Carl Levin from Michigan is offended that Bush’s appointee for Pentagon spokesman tells the truth and doesn’t pull punches:
Dorrance Smith, an Emmy-award winning television news producer who worked in Baghdad as a media adviser to former Ambassador Paul Bremer, is nominated to become the new Pentagon spokesman.
He would replace Larry Di Rita, who has been acting spokesman since the departure of Victoria Clarke in June 2003.
But if Smith is to become the new voice of the Pentagon, at least one senator doesn’t like his tone.
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the senior Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, took Smith to task for a piece he wrote recently in the Wall Street Journal in which he linked major U.S. television news networks with al-Jazeera, saying the U.S. networks occasionally shared video and other feeds initially aired by the Qatar-based network.
Through that association, the American news networks were in collusion with terrorists, Smith argued in the piece.
“That’s a very serious allegation,†Levin said solemnly. “Did you really mean that there is a relationship?â€
Smith responded that he had learned a great deal about the way television networks operate during his stint in Baghdad and how footage used by al-Jazeera often can be picked up by U.S. networks.
It is a “collaborative†relationship, said Smith, who has worked at ABC’s “Nightline†and “This Week with David Brinkley†in his 30-year television career.
Is Smith going to run for President in 08?

I refused to jump on the Misers bashing train, but I will admit now that she’s withdrawn, I am relieved. All morning the Miers withdrawl was the only thing on the news, and the liberal Dhimmicrats couldn’t shut up. Especially Feinstein. She said some things that were downright scary, considering that she’s an elected politician — you’d think they would have at least read the Constitution, if not understand the basic concept of separation of powers, but you’d think wrong. So here’s a little primer for the civics-challenged liberals.
The Supreme Court is not in any way a “representative” body. Not representative of the demographics, not representative of the ideologies, not represesntative of anything. No court is in any way a “representative” body. Of course, you’re probably thinking I’m referring to the “appoint a woman” campaign, but no, I’m not: I’m referring to Feinstein, who went on and on and on and on (the reporter had to shut her up because they were out of time — twice) about how the nominee had to “represent all Americans and all American views.”
Wrong, babe. You just flunked third-grade American history. How did you get elected?
Oh, that’s right. The nutso-batso-marxist-moonbats in Californistan elected you. No wonder you don’t have a clue about the way this government is set up or is supposed to work.
Then there’s Reid, and his statement that the radical religious extreme right brought her down. Well no, Harry, but of all the idiots in the Senate, you are surely the stupidest. Honestly, do the Demorats have no shame at all, between Reid and Dean? Dean is a slobbering moron, and Reid is, well, pathetic doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Let’s hope Bush appoints somebody quickly enough that he can help decide the cases coming up.

I have been largely silent on Miers and the SCOTUS, mostly because there was so much howling. But I am going to break that silence now.
The President of the United States has nominated Harriet Miers to sit on the SCOTUS. He has assured us — and do try to remember, he knows her and we do not — that she will interpret the Constitution stricly and not legislate from the bench.
Unfortunately, he also played into the hands of conservative judicial activists — and oh yes, you people do exist — when he released her religious background and feelings about abortion. He should’nt have. Her religious beleifs, as well as her personal opinions, are utterly and wholly irrelevant — if she will interpret the Constitution strictly and not legislate from the bench.
That means not letting your personal opinions and beliefs get in the way of your job.
I really wish the White House had not done that. But it can’t be undone, so we need to move along.
I cannot stress enough to you proponents of conservative judicial activism (and again, you know who you are) that the President has never promised to appoint a conservative to any court position. Not once. I know I keep saying this, but it seems like it’s not getting through.
Yes, George could have appointed, say, Janice Rogers Brown. Why he didn’t, I do not know, nor am I interested in speculation. I was disappointed, yes, but I’m not calling for Miers’s head on a silver platter — nor am I screaming about how Bush has betrayed us.
Because I see no betrayal. We know nothing about her. Charges of betrayal are akin to liberals screaming that Bush lied. There is no evidence of such.
You want assurance that she will overturn Roe v. Wade? Why do we get a litmus test, but the liberals do not? And why do you not see that Roe v. Wade is bad law, and given a constructionist court, its overturn is nearly inevitable?
All this screaming and yammering is self-destructive. We are effectively handing the liberals the next election, perhaps the next two elections. Let Miers go up in front of the Senate, and let the Senate vote. She deserves no less than Roberts or any other nominee.
But take this “Bush betrayed us!” nonsense and shove it where the sun don’t shine.

There certainly has been a lot of howling and whining lately on the right, some of it pretty nasty. Miers seemed to start it, which in turn has ignited resentment about spending, you name it. Frankly, I’m pretty tired of it, and expected more of the same when I started to read this. Boy, was I wrong:
Make no mistake; it was less about the hard work of the left-leaning Democrats and more about the lack of conservative cohesiveness that allowed the Clinton dynasty to emerge. We should all live with that “stain” upon each of our “blue dresses” for the remainder of our political lives.
Read it all: A Conservative House, Divided Against Itself, Cannot Stand — and then think long and hard before you start screaming again.
And you know who you are.

Hear, hear!
Are you easily offended? Does your little ego bruise easily? Do you think everyone else in America ought to give a darn about your self-esteem? Do your eyes fill with tears every time you perceive someone is being insensitive to you? Do you live under the delusional belief that you should be protected against being offended? Do you believe that anytime you are offended someone should be fired; have their life ruined or character trashed?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions you need to shut up, grow up, stop throwing your little pity parties and get a life! Frankly, you and those like you are a major part of what is wrong with America today. Your constant carping and whining are adding nothing positive to this great nation. Instead, the climate of perpetual offendedness and hypersensitivity you are creating is sapping the great spirit of rugged individualism that made America the greatest nation to ever exist in this world’s history.
