Belated Congratulations!

Congratulations to all the right-thinking folks in the UK and Australia! Yes, I'm a bit late on this but better late than never. The re-elections of Tony Blair and John Howard to third terms as Prime Minister of their respective countries are events that confirm what many Conservatives (both here and abroad) find honorable about these men. They are men of good common sense with views of freedom and foreign policy that mirror our own. Granted, Blair is "liberal" but he has proven a staunch ally in the war against terror, as has our Conservative friend Howard, so many of us overlook Blair's association with the Labour party.

The British press is obviously just as liberally biased as our own press right here in the States. I read BBC and see reports online that there is great unrest in the UK and Australia over the war in Iraq. Yet, somehow, in the recent elections the people of the UK and Australia supported our biggest allies in the war. Not only did UK citizens vote their support for Blair's foreign policy, they went on to grant seats in Parliament to politicians with an even more Conservative worldview!

It seems to me that many analysts are bending the story of Blair's re-election into a giant doom pretzel. I read that Tories WON seats in Parliament... CONSERVATIVE Tories. Need I say more? Bill Kristol at the Weekly Standard put it best in his editorial.

Again, congratulations UK and Australia -- a big high-five from your Conservative friends in the States!

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste
