James Mann discusses differences between the Republicans and the Democrats in the Washington Post.
He includes this statement:
As much as any Democratic leader today, Kerry has been buffeted by the crosswinds inside his party. He knows the tangled legacy of Vietnam. He opposed the use of force overseas at a time when most of his fellow […]
Dick Morris, who I find to be a facinating character says:

from the Washington Post
These incidents are horrible and shame our nation and our armed forces. Everyone who was responsible needs to be punished appropriately.
We cannot change that this happened. What we can do is resolve to do the right thing now. Punish the guilty. Discover how this could […]
California bans teens from indoor tanning
I don’t know where to start in my complaints about this. First, California already had a law that required parental permission for minors that want to tan. Second, what business is this of the government anyway? Finally, why are teens banned but not adults unless the lawmakers […]
This fox news article has some interesting information on Chalabi’s recent activities and why he was subject to a raid the other morning.
Still not sure what to make of all of this but I have had my doubts for a while about Chalabi being someone we (or the Iraqi’s) want to have much […]
This site has a trailer for the new documentary “Micheal Moore Hates America” that will be coming out this summer.
