I am disappointed that all three of these members are supporters of Blunt, kinda shocked about Tancredo. Maybe now with Shadegg in the race, they’ll switch support.

If the Republicans pick Blunt as majority leader, well then, we’ve sen probably the end of our majority in the not-so-distant future. Blunt is as in bed with the K St special interests than anyone and has a well known love for pork. This will only reinforce the image of what Republicans stand for and it ain’t conservative. I want Shadegg to win but at the very least let it be Boehner. A bit too moderate for me, but at least he isn’t as tied to the special interests or rolling in pork.

Welcome to the fight! We all owe our due and such I am asking every Save The GOP to man the guns by calling their cognressfolks. The time has come for all of us conservatives to open up on these guys. Below is a list of GOP Congresscriters. Please call away! This is very important for the conservative movement.

Well, Vladimir Zhirinovsky has finally let us know what he really thinks about Condi Rice. It’s actually a little bit vulgar. As the article points out, this is the same guy that wants Russia to invade America and take Alaska back.

Here’s the story, and here’s the image in question.

This is supposedly a 1763 copy of a 1418 original, and it is lending confidence to the currently fashionable notion that the Chinese discovered the Americas before Columbus did. The case isn’t very strong. The main textual basis is a 15th Century travelogue, the 上海游记 Shang hai you ji or “Journey Out to the Sea”, which is not a good source for solid geography. My guess is that there was an original early 15th century map that reflected well documented Chinese exploration in the Indian Ocean, this map simply adds on to that knowledge gained from western cartographers, probably Jesuit priests who were in the employ of the Qing Emperor as astronomers.

In any case, I wouldn’t bore folks with this if it hadn’t been for an egregious use of the term modern:

But for some, this would still not make the Chinese admiral the first modern discoverer of the Americas, as they believe that Viking Leif Eriksson sailed to north America in the year 1000.

Because we all know how into enlightenment philosophy the Eriksson boys were….

I don’t know much about Steele’s issues. He is a Republican in a heavily blue state and when you look at other blue state Republicans the odds of him being a true conservative Republican aren’t that spectacular. I won’t make judgments until I do the research, of course. Him winning this seat will certainly be an improvement to the GOP in either case and will hopefully open the eyes of more black Americans of how badly they are being played and held back by the Democrats.
