Nancy Astor: “If I were your wife, I would put poison in your coffee.”
Sir Winston Churchill: “And if I were your husband, I would drink it.”

Don Surber Speaker? Pelosi could be president — “Some Democrats even want to take it a step further than making her speaker. They want to take control of Congress and impeach and remove President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

American rules of presidential succession would place the Speaker of the House in the White House.” [Don's latest Charleston Daily Mail column was linked by Drudge, overwhelming the newspaper's servers. (I hope all the traffic I send his way doesn't do the same to his blogspot site. ) It is a must read. Jim]

Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) China To Cut Off Kim’s Oil — “The Chinese have taken Kim’s nuclear test more seriously than people first predicted. This could still be an act intended on currying favor with the US, but the humiliation appears to be real. Beijing thought they could use Kim to show the world that they had the most influence in east Asia and the western Pacific. Instead, they got surprised when Kim thumbed his nose at them.”

Right Wing News (John Hawkins) An Exclusive Mini-Interview With Bob Corker — “Yesterday, I did a phone mini-interview with Bob Corker, the GOP candidate for the Senate in Tennessee. Corker’s race against Harold Ford is incredibly important because if the Democrats are going to take over the Senate, it looks like they’re going to have to beat Bob Corker to do it.”

The Strata-Sphere (A.J. Strata) Dems Notice The Poll Bias — “Now the blabbering talking heads on the left are finally noticing the issue, with some hillariously naive attempts to understand statistics and math. I swear someone should do a poll on math skills between Reps and Dems, because Dems always fall for obviously bogus information because they just don’t test it with some basic math.”

TMH’s Bacon Bits (The MaryHunter) C’mon Conservatives, Let’s NOT Be Stupid This November! — “So, you’re fed up with the GOP? You’re going to stay home on November 7th?

And you’re liking the idea of hearing, on the morning of November 8th, “Speaker of the House Pelosi”? Thinking it might be a good thing to lose this one, to teach those GOP policrats a lesson?

In fact, you’re just clamoring for the chance to see President Bush impeached over the NSA surveillance program, are ya?

How STUPID does that sound?”
