By they, I mean the Russians: A top Russian general said Friday that Poland’s agreement to accept a U.S. missile interceptor base exposes the ex-communist nation to attack, possibly by nuclear weapons, the Interfax news agency reported. The statement by Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn is the strongest threat that Russia has issued against the plans to […]
John McCain is being sued by Jackson Browne for using Browne’s song “Running on Empty” in a campaign ad without permission. This is trend among Republicans. Perhaps they need to be asked why they don’t respect intellectual property rights.
CBS has decided that they want to focus on policy during their televised debate on October 15th. Who would have ever though that a Presidential debate should be about the issues, and not the rhetoric?

Home repossessions up 183% from a year ago! The housing crisis continues and it doesn’t seem to be letting up.
