Then read this account of Diane Van Deren's life.  Van Deren is about to tackle the "Iditarod Trail International, 'the world's longest human-powered winter race,' an insane crucible where competitors run, ski or bicycle through 350 miles of tundra wilderness, where 50-below-zero temperatures and wild moose lurk, with virtually no outside support."

But that'll be easy compared to how hard it was to get to the start.  (HT: WhereAreMyKeys.)

My latest Townhall column, "What Senators Want," is now posted at Townhall.com.  All your favorite Senators make an appearance, from Feingold to Hagel to Kennedy to even a former first lady.  Enjoy.

Which means that 32,000 pledge takers won't be supporting the NRSC (or those senators who vote for Levin-Warner.)

There is still some hope, however, that a unified GOP caucus will kill Warner-Levin quietly by refusing to allow a vote on it at all.

The transcript of my conversation with Senator McConnell is here.

My producer reached William Arkin today with an invitation to appear on the program --as he has in the past.

Arkin declined.  He must be busy slagging "mercenaries," as he put it, in the war zone.

So where's the Washington Post's statement on Arkin?  Standing by their reporter, I guess.

More from Don Surber.

The new book is subtitled: "Ten Things Every American Should Know About Mitt Romney."  Amazon has the cover photo correct, but the listing title incorrect.

My favorite comment ever from an Amazon poster, from January 6, two months prior to publication:

Don't get me wrong his writing is polite enough. But is there really any content in this book? It's just 250 pages of Mr Hewitt's opinion on things.

Once again Mr Hewitt proves that in the world of political punditry he is the dumbest of the dumb.

 

Right now.  And if you have the means and the inclination, please consider supporting the incredible work that he's doing.

If I can figure it  out, so can you.

How many words total, James?  And congrats --the decade of Bleats belongs in the Smithsonian as perhaps the first extended online column/site for a general audience, and if not the first, the best of the firsts.

A few days ago Terry McAuliffe announced on my show that he was about to become a Knight of Malta.

Now I know a few Knights of Malta.  Knights of Malta are friends of mine.  And Terry's no Knight of Malta, as Knights of Malta defend the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church on the sanctity of the life of the unborn.

More than a few Catholics heard or read the exchange, and here at the end of the week we find that Terry won't be a Knight of Malta.

Perhaps by the end of next week, the Washington Post will decide it doesn't want military-hater William Arkin as its "national security" writer.
