I can’t pass up a chance to have fun with Trump, but HBO doesn’t seem to happy.
That’s what Obama is thinking: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, met with House Democrats yesterday, talking about his trip abroad and his observations. Obama told the caucus, according to an attendee, “Nobody said this to me directly but I get the feeling from my talks that if the sanctions don’t work Israel is going to strike […]
And thank God. After tonight all the states will be counted. This has been a long primary season, but that’s due in a large part to this new crazy schedule.

Chuck Hagel (R-Ne) spoke to the Council on Foreign Relations today and delivered a very compelling speech regarding Iraq. Following are some highlights of this speech. The full transcript can be read here. The Iraq war should not be debated in the United States on a partisan political platform. This debases our country, trivializes the […]
(OK it has been a while since I done one of these) For years Presidential campaigns have been fought and won on wars. Until recently the wars haven’t been the more violent ones, but the catch phrases are victory getters none the less. “The War on Drugs†or “The War on Abortionâ€ÂÂ. These are […]
