Gibbs Previews President's Speech
Stole this from our pals at This Ain't Hell Mr. Gibbs says, "I don't think that there's any doubt as candidate Obama said that adding 20,000 men and women into Iraq would improve the security situation..." Perhaps, Mr. Gibbs, but...

Boxer Bringing Home The Bacon?
To anyone following the news, it is unsurprising to find out that "Call me Senator!" Boxer is in a tight re-election campaign this year. So, it's hardly surprising to find her apparently implying that she will put the purchase of more Boeing...

Ambassador Crocker on Iraq Today
Former U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker writes in today's Washington Post: ...The exit of combat troops does not end the post-1990, non-polar disorder that Hussein's invasion launched. He illustrated an international paradigm shift; he did not create...

Emergency gun-grabbing
The momentum in the gun rights v. gun control battle is all on the side of the second amendment, but the anniversary of Katrina brought back some bad memories of police confiscating weapons. I was on Alyona's show today discussing this. And I would...
