A Soros-funded pro-filibuster ad campaign is airing:
THE DEBATE OVER CURTAILING UNPRECEDENTED DEMOCRATIC FILIBUSTERS of President George W. Bush’s judicial nominees exploded into open warfare this week. On Wednesday MoveOnPAC.org and its left comrades blitzed America with at least 192 rallies in 40+ states and saturated the nation’s airwaves with $500,000 worth of deceptive ads depicting Republicans as crazed rampaging elephants in an effort to intimidate Senators.
But the most surreal moment of this vicious propaganda onslaught by a coalition of far-Left groups (almost all of which are part of the Shadow Party funded by eccentric billionaire George Soros) was a Wednesday speech by former Vice President and failed 2000 Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore.
Gore used the topic as an opportunity to attack people of faith:
"This assault on the integrity of our constitutional design has been fueled by a small group claiming special knowledge of God’s will in American politics," said Gore.
Having just attacked people who love their religion, Gore immediately expresses outrage that anyone might claim he had done so:
"They even claim that those of us who disagree with their point of view are waging war against ‘people of faith.’ How dare they?"
It’s just hilarious.
Arguments against the filibuster: Rush points out that there’s no provision in the Constitution for filibustering judicial nominations.
And Ann Coulter advises that:
In one sentence Republicans should state that the so-called "nuclear option" means: "Majority vote wins." (This is as opposed to the Democrats’ mantra, which is "Our side always wins." )
I am sublimely confident that normal Americans will not be shocked to learn that a Republican Senate plans to confirm the judicial nominees of a Republican president
According to U.S. and U.N. investigators, the $60 billion program, which ran from 1996-2003 may have seen more than $6 billion directly skimmed and as much as $15 billion lost through oil smuggling overlooked by the U.N. and the Security Council itself.
IN RELATED NEWS, the former director of the Oil for Food program has issued an “or-else” threat to Kofi Annan. Annan Threatened: Pay My Bills Or I’ll Spill the Beans.
UNITED NATIONS – The embattled former director of the scandal ridden Iraq Oil for Food Program has sent a letter with an ultimatum to the office of Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
Benon Sevan, a veteran Cypriot diplomat, now the target of several U.S. and U.N. investigations, has sent Annan a “demand” that the world body pay his mounting legal bills “or else.”
According to Annan chief of staff Mark Malloch Brown, the letter, written by Sevan’s legal team, carried an implied threat of new public disclosures regarding embezzlement in the now defunct oil for food program.

According to a Dow Jones report Wednesday night, Marvel has already amassed a half-billion-dollar war chest to make a slate of movies with budgets as high as $180 million, drawing on its remaining 5,000 comic-book characters

Lucas also revealed that the company is working on a spinoff live-action series that would focus on some supporting characters who’ve been introduced in the movies.
“We’re probably not going to start that for about a year,” he said. “Like on ‘The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles,’ we want to write all the stories for the entire first season all at once. I’m going to get it started and hire the showrunners and all of that, then I’ll probably step away.”
All the music from The Simpsons—from every episode—- is here, in MP3 format. One of my favorites is Springfield, Springfield.
