Obama’s speech today really was quite good. On several levels.
A couple of very quick thoughts on Barack Obama’s speech. First, one peculiar aspect of this Dem primary is that there is not one, but two potentially history-making candidates — he and Hillary Clinton — meaning that they’ll in a sense be vying for the role of most potentially history-making contender. By drawing a direct line from [...]
UPDATE: A bit of response from the Right.
1. He hasn’t the experience: Certainly the most impertinent Presidential campaign since Wilke in 1940. 2. Should he get elected, his ultra-liberal policy proposals will just be more-of-the-same political gamesmanship when placed into practice. 3. Democrats would be monumentally stupid [...]

So, how are things in Iraq?
The Iraqi political parties that formed the current Iraqi government claim to seek establishing a democratic system in Iraq. The very same political parties don’t practice democracy. The main five political parties that rule the country are: The Supreme Council [...]

This could be a HUGE story.
I hate putting this important a story up on a Saturday night, but I’m not gonna be scooped on this baby. Check out this Associated Press story from a few days back that nobody seemed to notice. It looks to me like Harry Reid is getting ready to sue the AP and their former [...]

I really don’t want to get into the Anna Nicole story. But, this is just too much….
The husband of actress Zsa Zsa Gabor said Friday that he had a decade-long affair with Anna Nicole Smith and may be her infant daughter’s father. The claim by Prince Frederick von Anhalt comes amid a paternity suit over Smith’s 5-month-old daughter, Dannielynn. The birth certificate lists Dannielynn’s father as attorney Howard K. Stern, but former Smith boyfriend [...]

Not Anna Nicole Smith. But the lies that led to the Iraq War. Read on….

Somewhere in the lead up to the Iraq war, the Bush/Cheney Administration decided they needed two strands of intelligence to convince the American people and the world that a preemptive war on Iraq was justified.

Yet another account you should read.

I failed to disobey a meritless order, I failed to protect a prisoner in my custody, and I failed to uphold the standards of human decency. Instead, I intimidated, degraded and humiliated a man [...]

Karl seems to have really stepped in it this time.
The following anecdote does not come from a left-wing blogger but from National Review Online’s The Corner. Karl Rove managed to be such a racist snob that he even offended that crowd. According to a congressman’s wife who attended a Republican women’s luncheon yesterday, Karl Rove explained the rationale behind the president’s amnesty/open-borders proposal this way: "I don’t want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas." And I thought Rove just wanted to keep enough of the Hispanic vote to win elections past [...]
