PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Contrary to vicious rumors, Fort LMC is not being considered for closure during the current proceedings of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission. This should come as a relief to my two year-old son, the future ROTC Scholarship Recipient and heir to the vast real estate holdings that comprise Fort LMC, and his little sister. Mrs. LMC, the post Chief of Staff, will no doubt be disappointed. This was my bachelor pad before we were married and she pines for a home she helped pick out, whatever that means.
After our marriage, we lived in the house I had owned before - it took us a while to get fully into 'our' mode for it. We've done enough remodelling, though, that it's not much like the house she moved into (which had Astroturf! glued down to the front stoop by a former owner) and it feels 'ours' now.

Contrary to the MSM's assertion, about being "thrown off balance" by Justice O'Connor's announcement, this administration rarely leaves things to chance, and President Bush's team has had four and a half years to plan for the new Supremes. Now the time to stiffen the spines of Senate and Congressional Republicans. Write your home town newspapers, and your elected representatives. The coming confirmation of a strict constructionalist will be bitterly fought. The founding fathers envisioned the great questions of the day to be decided by the people, through their elected representives, not by the nine lawyers of the Supreme Court. The President's coming appointments will be meant to restore that vision.
MoveOne.Org, Senator Kennedy, and the libs have fired the opening shot, and the battle is about to be joined.
