I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

I'll have Ketchup on my crow

Well for the second time today I'll admit I over reacted to the "nuclear option" compromise issue. Steve Soto reports and does a really good analysis on the story that Frist has rejected the Democrat's compromise.
And with the public overwhelmingly against the GOP plans to pander the Christo-fascists and prohibit judicial filibusters, Harry Reid has set it up pretty well: he offered through Joe Biden a reasonable, and possibly too accommodating deal to avoid the upcoming train wreck for Frist. Rove did as expected and said that all nominees deserve votes, even though his party denied over 40 Clinton nominees votes. Frist then backed away and said there will be no deals so that the American Taliban doesn't get angry with Frist.

And now Reid can say "don't say I didn't warn you." I hope Mullah Frist is satisfied at watching his tenure as Majority Leader result in losses for his caucus next year. Right off the bat, Ricky Santorum is toast, and I can think of a few others.
I will certainly have a little more respect for Senator Reid is the future and I am certainly glad it was Reid and not Daschle running the show. This has turned out well for the Democrats. It's placed a number of Republicans in a position where they must side with the American Taliban or side with the majority of voters. A lose-lose situation for them. Couldn't happen to better bunch of guys.

I still stand by my lowly opinion of David Broder's commentary however.
