Pawlenty Speaking to Right Wing Activist Conference

Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-MN), a potential candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, is set to boost his ultra-conservative credentials this weekend, putting in an appearance at the Western CPAC conference -- where he'll be in some pretty interesting company.

Tonight, for example, Pawlenty will be featured at a private VIP reception, which also include none other than Floyd Brown. For those of you who have not heard of him, Brown was the originator of the Willie Horton ad against Mike Dukakis in 1988, and currently runs the Web sites Expose Obama and the Impeach Obama Campaign, which warns: "how long should we sit back and permit Barack Hussein Obama to rip apart the fabric of this country before we take action?"

Pawlenty will also keynote a dinner, with other remarks by Ralph Reed -- the former head of the Christian Coalition and ex-business partner of Jack Abramoff.

Pawlenty has been slowly but surely shedding his prior image as a friendly, perhaps even moderate Republican -- for example, he hinted at possible Tenth Amendment challenges to health care reform. This is just another step on that journey of courting the party base.

1. Sick puppies? How about this for "sick puppies," George...(graphic)

'There was no one left to kill', declared General Norman Schwarzkopf after the Basra Road bloodbath, where even the injured holding white flags, and doctors accompanying them were obliterated.


The slaughter on the Basra Road, after the ceasefire, the fleeing civilians and retreating troops, ripped to pieces, or incinerated in General Norman Schwartzkop's 'turkey shoot'.

The whole war, of course, was nothing else. Saddam Hussein had offered, indeed, started to retreat from Kuwait before the carnage began, but as ever, for the United States, conciliation was 'too late'. Buses, lorries, cars were also targeted throughout the forty two day massacre. Lorries carrying medicines, meat, essentials were burned, with their drivers. Western troops took their repulsive 'trophy photos', with the pathetic remains of the incinerated and dismembered.

When the (UK) Observer, to its credit, printed the picture which became the symbol of the 1991 atrocities, the Iraqi soldier, with his near melted face welded to the windscreen of his vehicle, there was an outcry.

2. "No. Not gun do it. Wunt be prudent at this time."

Meh. Never liked the old man. He was directly responsible for my Democratic conversion.
