It’s just against my nature to issue commentary and then not to hear your feedback, so starting now we’ll have Comments enabled. This will require an e-mail based registration (which will pop up when you click on the Comments link for the post you’re interested in). I’m also committed to making this a family friendly blog, so for the time being the comments will be moderated by the new Tammy Blog Editor Jim.
So now Tammy Blog is open for discussion. Obviously a lot of the site is still under construction, and I’m getting my feet wet, so I really appreciate your patience.
seems like a bad idea allowing people like me to leave a comment.
Thanks for letting people leave comments.
I’m sure your fans and listeners will have interesting things to say.
Getting through that TypeKey thing was a bit annoying but it was only a bit time consuming, not really difficult.
I love your show and your new blog.
I need a Tammy fix to get me over my frustration at ABC’s Prime Time about nuclear material at colleges.
I can’t decide if I should be angry that it was the geeks of the world who allowed ABC to sell their TV shows over the Internet onto handheld video displays that got a bad rap for being suckered by pretty college girls.
Or should I be angry at the security at airports that would never protect us from the college/dirty bomb threat?
Or should I be angry at ABC for suggesting that pretty young American white girls would be the kind of people who would hurt this country?
Anyway.
I love having your show on while I do the dishes at my girlfriend’s house on Saturday nights after I’ve made her dinner.
Just keep doing what you are doing Tammy.
Hey Tammy!
Your blog is excellent as was your previous site. While I choose to remain more of a hardnosed conservative, I love your no holds barred style.
I sincerely tried to get some friends of mine and site contributors of my website to drive to see you in Iowa but I had learned about it too late to formulate a successful road trip.
I will be commenting on things, but I have to say, I don’t find much to argue with you about :-).
I’ve also put a link to you on our website.
Thanx Much for doing what you do!
Steve
Hi Tammy: Great idea, and I listen to you on KABC Sat. and any other time I find you.
I see this ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT fiasco as a result of not closing the borders to keep the pipe line of the Trillion dollar drug industry open, and by plugging up the border it would also do a lot to slowing down the transportation of illegal drugs. With so many assasinations around the world to protect the flow of drugs, would it not follow that members of the Congress and the White House have been threatened if the border is CLOSED , and on the flip side would the same politicions be threatend if the illegal drugs were LEGALIZED which would take the money out of illegal drugs, the headchoppers (especially bin Laden with his Heroin crop much of which he sells to Americans ) as well as the drug cartell relying so much on the money.
The drug cartell are more powerfull than most armies, when we see they control whole countries, and we saw what happend to President Kennedy when he raised the ayer of his “opposition”! Are we naive enough to think that this President could not be on the “hit” list of the Cartell if he gets tough?
The only thing I can come up with as to why the borders are open, much to the abhorance of the President in my opinion, but are his hands tied? Not only his hands, but all politicions? It would take “another” army to protect the Politicions and their families from harms way, if they either plug the border or LEGALIZE DRUGS!
Do Americans realize that legalizing drugs is the lessor of the two evils? as being illegal we are just playing into the hands of the drug Cartells ability to make Trillions of dollars, and by the door to the border being open the illegal immigants to slide through also?
If what I say is true, this is unbelievable how the illegal drug industry has the most powerful nation(s) in the world on their knees, and they don’t own one tank, one bomber or one Nuke. How do we fight the headchoppers when we can’t close the gates to our “fort”!
Was the NAFTA agreement set up knowingly or naivly to help to expidite drugs? A Texas border guard seems to think so when he was interviewed on TV by saying that the drug cartell has never had it so good with the advent of NAFTA, with the heavier truck traffic load coming and going across the Mexican border they can’t keep track of the illegal drugs the way they did before pre NAFTA. Looks fishy to say the least?
Anxious to see some back and forth on this, and thanks again Tammy for your outlook on life.

What do the soft Republicans not understand that when Pres. Bush is introducing Harriet Maiers for the court, and mentioning her “religious leanings” which is a code word that she is anti-abortion, and a good candidate to reverse Roe vs Wade if called upon to do so? Does anyone know a staunch religious person that is FOR ABORTION?. Along with the fact that she is faithful to the efforts of the Liberation of Iraq, or else she would not have accepted the position, knowing and liking the Pres. so much, she would be honest with him in her feelings in not just the liberation, but a host of other things, like keeping the oath allegience in tact, by retaining “Under God”, and I am sure that the President will have confidence that Ms. Miers will keep Ruth Ginsberg in check, being her opposite number, and thank God for that!
Are the disgruntled Republican more worried that there is not a sitting or retired “Judge” that is being suggested? The Elite hate to be upstaged, thinking that they, the elite know best. Well I would iike to see a Firechief, or a Mail deliveror on the court, why does it have to be judges all the time? Not to mention that she can be trusted now, and 20 years from now! And that is the most important qualifiication of all, the Americans thought they could trust the preditor Clinton, and look what a phoney he turned out to be, a veritable traitor the way I see it!
The President in my opinion has made a fantastic choice in Harriet Maiers for the bench, and I pray he can hold up to the pressure, and I pray that she can hold up to the pressure for her to stand down.
Three cheers for the President, and Ms, Miers.

Hello, everyone,
Though the process to register was slightly cumbersome, I like the idea of commenting on the various events and opinions of the day. Tammy, I mostly agree with your views, and consider myself a fellow classic liberal. I look forward to reading everyones’ veiws regarding the important, and trival, events of the day. Have a great day, and look forward to your Saturday show.

I have to say, as a tough conservative (or viewed as a right winged nut by liberals) that this is exactly what people seem to misinterpret about the republicans’ disapproval of Harriet Miers. First off, it isn’t soft republicans; it’s hard edged republicans like myself, as well as high profile right-wingers like Ann Coulter who disapprove of Miers.
We are convinced and thankful that Miers will indeed vote to overturn Roe V Wade, on the other hand, after that is done, there are other cases that need to be decided! Harriet Miers has no judicial experience, was the first woman on the Texas bar, and has entirely NO paper trail. This is not an opportunity for Bush to nominate an under experienced individual to engage in cronyism.
This proves that conservatives are indeed principled and are interested in other things other than Roe V Wade. If it were our only concern, I’d be drinking champagne with ya Steve.
This is the 3rd branch of our government.
Compare the credentials of Janice Rogers Brown to Harriet Miers and we’ll talk. Aside from being the first woman in Texas on the bar, or the first woman to dye her hair auburn brown, or whatever she has done FIRST, there is no experience there. Pure and simple. 🙂
Could be Steve, but how have previous Republican Presidents fared? Was there a “paper trail†to those nominees? Did not those Presidents use and fail at the “paper trail†process? President Bush has known and worked with this person for over ten years, seems to me that creates a trail. You certainly cannot say your methodology is superior to any, history proves it.
As Coulter in her last column pointed out:
For people to be saying, in regard to Byron White and William Rehnquist not having judicial experience,
Byron White finished first in his class at Yale law school.
William Rehnquist finished first in his class at Stanford University.
Harriet Miers finished in what position, in what law school?
Please people, this is not a nomination to run FEMA, this is not a nomination for an Ambassadorship at the U.N., this is not a nomination to head the F.D.A. This is the 3rd branch of the American government! Once she’s in, there will be no turning back.
At this point, I hope you are right. I can only pray that you are right, as a matter of fact. Bush has totally turned against his base with this desicison. John Roberts had excellent credentials, impeccable paper trails, was bright and articlulate in the Senate Hearings. I can imagine Senator Biden now ecstatic that he will finally look like a superior scholar in his questioning of Harriet Miers.
There is no question that she is a hard worker, or a devoted employee with great skills. But this is not an award for best employee of the month. This is a serious lifetime position on the highest court in our land.
Though it’s a good one; overturning Roe V Wade is not the only issue on the Supreme Court. As a matter of fact it is simple compared to the other complicated cases in which she will be voting on.
I still say “Should’ve picked Janice!”
Hi Steve Chicago: The lower court decides the innocence or the guilt of the legal question at hand, all the Supreme Court has to do is figure out if the decision conformes with the Constitution, and a great legal mind can decide that, especially one that honours the Constitution, what are you afraid of? Ms. Miers cannot be denied her sharp legal mind that is agree by most, I don’t see the problem?
