OK ... illegal download and sharing I get ... I get why you can't make copies of CDs and give them to your friends (actually I don't but for the sake of argument) ... but if you want to know why the music industry is dying a slow death ... read this.
Going through the shows right now. Obama to Russert on MTP ... "I am running now instead of waiting because I don't want to come back in 8 years and see that people still don't have health insurance" ... oh brother ... I don't either so let's make people buy health insurance, with dental coverage and make it affordable (as in you pay not me) and let me have access to any treatment I want (hey I am in the media ... botox is part of the game and I cant afford it).

Powerline has a nice rundown on Gov Huckabee's apology for the murder of Bhutto and his backing off ... call it the "Blame America For Everything Bad" update. Once again, Gov Huckabee is a social conservative ... but that's where it ends.

Read the whole post for background.
If the left keeps this up I might have to take a second look at Senator Hillary ... or a 22nd look. I mean if they hate her this much ... on the other hand maybe this is a diabolical plot to win over the conservatives.
It's been done in college for a while ... now high school. It's a pretty kewl idea ... but if its on-line I don't get this line ...
"Those courses will be held from Jan. 23 to May 6, with enrollment on a first-come, first-served basis."
Hey ... maybe you have to cut off enrollment at 2000?
I've needed a smoke real bad in the past ... and not having one can make me real cranky ... just not this cranky.
This is so sad ... one should never presume to speak for the Lord but my guess here is He would not be happy.
Remember though religion did not cause this to happen. This was the result of jealousy and pride and the last time I checked religion does have something to say about this.
I am so conflicted. On the one hand this is one of the greatest Congresses because they can't tax and spend ... on the other hand. Hope you weren't counting on it.
PS ... one more reason not to over withhold.
A couple links here ... one from the wires and one from the ABC News.
And here's a link to the Heritage Foundation and their take. Dr James Carafano was a guest on the show this morning. I believe there is a podcast on WTIC.com
Well this will make the Bushco haters happy ... don't they have more important things to worry about like ... tax hikes for the rich, Pepsi in schools, seat belts, preschool, high school, college and health care for the world ... If I missed one call the show tomorrow.
I had no idea that there was this kind of surge taking place ... guess the iraqis are ahead of us on two fronts ... their government seems to work faster than ours now ... and apparently their credit worthiness is better too ... maybe it is time to bring the troops home.
Hey if it worked there why not here?
I am sorry I missed this from Powerline. Sorry to see Heath Shuler is topping the list. But are they really fooling anyone ... well not now I guess.
It's actually a pretty funny and well written review of the year in Connecticut politics. I have to admit ... I agree with way too many of the comments here.
This is what we covered yesterday and got a lot of requests for the article.
It seems to me having senior citizens working offf their tax bill at less than Starbucks wages is a crime ... not to mention an AFSME bomb waiting to explode ... but then ... this is the government we are talking about.
Wait ... I thought the Dems cared about us old folk.
Jeff is a great columnist and a great guest ... so glad he is willing to come on the show.
Here are his columns ... always liked McCain ... maybe he is worth a LONG second look.
I listened earlier this week when Huck's staffer dissed Rush ... then read the Politico with amusement yesterday as Huckster tried to make nice ... Well now Rush is taking the high road ... but trust Huckster fans ... the damage is done.
Great post over at Ct Local Politics. Where do you stand? Homelessness is everyone's responsibility. Individuals need to volunteer and donate money to feed and shelter the poor and needy. And certainly local town and city governments have a responsibility to become involved as well. I am not sure it is a state government issue although I could be convinced otherwise. I know its not a federal mandate. I like McKinney but he may be overreaching.
OK ... just 1000 ... but if it was 1000 marching against the troops think we would be reading about this.
OK ... instapundit has the dumb cop ... err ... dumb criminal ... err whatever ... story of the week.
I brought this up on the show last week but didn't spend a lot of time on it.
I have a hard time getting worked up over this story and sounds more like the reporter was more worked up than anyone. There are plenty of Christians in the north and south who do not like Catholics. I have experienced it myself.
Had to blog this victory ... very nice win ... the giants may have a formula ... keep Eli out of the offense. For the best links and rundown on the G-Men go here ...
I think my resolution to stay up to date may hit a snag over the next few days ... Christmas is big in my house.
Sorry this list is so late folks ...
I am not sure what these bloggers are talking about. Read the whole post. The Dems are happy with Harry Reid (why I have no idea) ... so there's a move to replace him with CHRIS DODD? Who comes up with this stuff? My head hurts.
Next time the Clintons tell you Mr Bill has not blocked the release of any Presidential papers ... point them toward this.
Actually pretty funny. The Republicans complained they did not have enough time to go over that huge omnibus spending bill (stuffed with oink oink money for the Mass River Walk, Hillary' s Hippie Museum in Woodstock and others including Republicans).
I know I should not be surprised and yet ... I am.
I won't touch on this on the show but I am pretty tired of being lectured by people who use more energy in a week than I do in a year. I generally like Tom Friedman but now he's a global warming expert. Follow all the links at Powerline please.
Let's file this under "Good for thee not me"!
He is very pretty but .... ok the best link on this will be Glenn at Instapundit ... one, he's a skeptic ... "Is it true? Hey, it's the Enquirer -- so it's as reliable as the New York Times" and two he will follow it better than I.
Because sometimes it takes a tyrant!
"TIME's Person of the Year is not and never has been an honor. It is not an endorsement. It is not a popularity contest. At its best, it is a clear-eyed recognition of the world as it is —for better or for worse. It is ultimately about leadership—bold, earth-changing leadership. Putin is not a boy scout. He is not a democrat in any way that the West would define it. He is not a paragon of free speech. He stands, above all, for stability—stability before freedom, stability before choice, stability in a country that has hardly seen it for a hundred years. "
OK now I get it ... sometimes civil liberties have to be curbed in a dangerous world.
OK ... I actually used to think that the Clinton family and Bush family were actually one in the same ... that they had some kind of deal going on ... you know Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton, Bush ... well you get the idea. But it was just one of those wild dreams. Crazy.
and then this? headlined at Drudge.
Naah ... couldn't be.
Powerline had the story. Combine this with stories of Christian persecution in some parts of Iraq and ongoing in Southeast Asia and with respect to Bill O'Reilly, the war on Christmas isn't just for Christmas anymore. I sense a trend.
Instapundit points this out. Actually you would expect that online sales might not match the percentage growth from previous years. I would expect online sales increases would be greatest in its infancy and show slower increases overtime. But I could be wrong.
Now everybody wants their own talk show ... even jihadists! Geeze ... next thing you know they'll be playing my music too.
I didn't get to this this morning ... but desperately wanted to. It's about a Philly anchor girl (hey, if its good enough for Senator Clinton) ... anyway seems she was riding with her boyfriend in New York ... well ... you gotta read it.
Thanks to Instapundit for this one.
Senator Lieberman certainly has the attention of conservative bloggers with his McCain endorsement. Powerline has some thoughts here ... and ... here.
Like I said last week ... just what we need is another ethics panel because its sooooo hard to determine just what is ethical. (Kudos to the Courant)
Great column from Kevin in the Hartford Courant. I have trouble just getting people to show up for my birthday ... and I am not even charging them ... and the food is free. But then again ...
As you know, I know more than just a few women soldiers ... my friend and Iraq War Veteran (and married) Melissa stands out ... but there's Jess too and others. Smart, brave and beautiful
Well as Glenn Reynolds notes ... Connecticut has no monopoly.
Check out Miss Utah.

Here's video of the speech and the text as well at Powerline. Thanks to Scott Johnson for being on the show today.
Double ouch ... this man is just despicable ...
"Meanwhile, Mr. Reid is poised to call another vote linking emergency war funds to a plan for a U.S. pullout from Iraq. The same measure failed in a vote lost month, as did 63 similar Iraq votes this year."
In the words of my friend John O'Neill, Lt, USN, (Ret.) ... Harry better hurry up and surrender before we win this war.
"The Bush administration is running into unexpected opposition ..." Unexpected? Video of Hillary's take here as well.
To me ... to you ... we are finally after a two year absence ... back on line.
This is where you can come to review the articles we talked about on the show this morning and links to guests and artist websites.
Please make sure to take our poll.
We will begin video blogging this week too.
Best to all, Jim.
I really wanted to get to this on my show today ... oh well ... enjoy. One of my favorite reads is Dr Helen ... thanks to Instapundit for this one.
For those who want to get to know the real Iran and how they are killing your sons and daughters even today ... check this out.
First ... here's a link to some NIE highlights (lowlights?) thanks to Hotair. It makes sense to read this before you comment and join the Bush lied crowd.
