This is interesting. To say the least.
New Discovery in JFK Assassination Files Will Spark Chatter — But Is It for Real?
DALLAS Conspiracy theorists will love the latest find related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. A highly suspect transcript discussing a plot to kill the president — right out of a “bad B movie,” one doubter says — is among a cache of JFK-related memorabilia discovered by the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office. The items were found [..]

It’s not just McCain. Hillary has a problem with remembering things, too.
Is Hillary telling the truth about her husband’s race in 1992?
Clinton’s new spin is that it’s not all that unusual for Democrats not to have a presumptive nominee until June. She claims: “I campaigned with my husband until he wrapped up the nomination in June [1992],” she said. “I thought it was fun we had a good time. I’m prepared to go the distance.” Is this historically [...]

McCain seems to have forgotten a basic fact of life…transcripts and tapes don’t disappear..
McCain forgets, again, that transcripts aren’t his friend
About a year ago, John McCain boasted that he knew the war in Iraq was “probably going to be long and hard and tough,” and that he was “sorry” for anybody who voted it thinking it would be “some kind of an easy task.” That night, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann read off a list of McCain [...]

In spite of the dire warnings from the White House…
Cato Institute says the expiration of FISA will have little effect…
Bush keeps ramping up the fear, but even the CATO institute isn’t buying his usual brand of fear-mongering. The Bush administration can initiate new terrorist monitoring activities after the PAA expires. It just has to get a FISA warrant, the same way it did in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006. Indeed, Bush himself praised the [...]

From the right side of the blogosphere, comes (surprise!) a post critical of the Clinton Campaign. In particular, it nails one person in particular. And, once again, we’re talking about a “flip flop”.
This will surprise no one, other than starry-eyed leftists who think that the Democratic party is other than a machine for dispensing government swag to the highest bidder: “WASHINGTON (AP) – Harold Ickes, a top adviser to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign who voted for Democratic Party rules that stripped Michigan and Florida of their delegates, [...]

It’s tough to make sense of things these days. When “up” is “down” and “left” is “right”. Waking up to the newspaper headline that says our own Jermain Taylor lost a unanimous decision in his fight last night in Vegas, although the press corp (for both fighters) apparently saw a different fight. They thought Taylor had it.
Then, scanning through Bloglines, this is one of the first things I note:
Citibank blocks investors from removing money
There were a few real estate related funds in the UK that took similar actions last month. As much as the big financial companies would like us to believe they’re OK, this is alarming. This is not that different from a traditional run on the bank. “Citigroup has barred investors in [...]
