The gang of misfits that supposedly plotted to blow up the Sear’s Tower (right when Bush needed a big terror scare to distract us) were all either acquitted or effectively acquitted through mistrial. Who saw that coming? And here’s a more damning look at the “7 Boobs” and the administration tendency to, how [...]

Tracking some of the best from the editorial pages around the media.
Amity Shlaes’ thorough debunking of the folly of the Fair Tax, the package Huckabee is pushing and not telling us the truth about.
Huckabee as Jimmy Carter Redux? Hmmm…
Dick Morris gives us the reasons why Oprah’s endorsement will be a “big boost” to Obama. [...]
It seemed obvious that the law & order wing of the Republican party (not to mention the anti-taxers, the economic conservatives, etc.) would not be pleased with a Mike Huckabee nomination.
That said, perhaps you’ve heard of the new attack that broke today at huckabeefacts.com, a site set up for the exclusive purpose of releasing a [...]

Ahh, a little civility. But no respect for Kucinich.
The Democrats, for the most part, managed to pull off something the Republicans simply couldn’t, which is put forward their ideas for America while actually answering the questions posed to them and doing it within the time limits imposed by the debate format and while maintaining respect [...]

Round-up time.
Bunch of violence in Iraq, 3 bombs, 27 dead, 150 wounded. Surge still working, I guess.
Ike Turner, still dead.
After three year “break,” war seems to be ramping up again in the Congo. Bad news all around here, hinges on the same ethnic tensions between Hutus and Tutsis that led to genocide in [...]
Round-up of the big news leading the papers and outlets today.
Twin bombs in Algiers kill dozens, including 11 UN staffers; al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb claim responsibility.
Punishments retroactively lightened for some offenses related to crack cocaine following Supreme Court decision.
Republicans hold on to 2 House seats they were heavily favored to win but many [...]

First off, who in the hell let Alan Keyes in the room? Has he ever won anything in his entire political career? Yet these are the same geeks saying Kucinich, an established congressman, cannot participate in the Democratic debate. Sad. Keyes is an embarrassment, refusing to even answer the questions he’s [...]
