An interesting article in the Washington Post discusses how law enforcement is now using GPS to track suspects, mostly without any warrant. This really sounds like a gray area in the world of privacy. On one hand, police can “tail” a suspect without a warrant, which this is very similar to, but what if a […]
The Politico broke it this morning: “I didn’t know I hit him. I feel terrible,” a shaken Novak told reporters from Politico and WJLA as he was returning to his car. “He’s not dead, that’s the main thing.” Novak said he was a block away from 18th and K streets Northwest, where the accident occurred, […]
This story was buried on page A21 of the Washington Post yesterday: A new assessment of U.S. policy in Iraq by the same experts who advised the original Iraq Study Group concludes that political progress is “so slow, halting and superficial” and political fragmentation “so pronounced” that the United States is no closer to being […]
I love how everyone always refers to McCain as a “maverick”. Is aligning himself with the GOP on a majority of issues a maverick? Today’s Washington Post gives us the answer, by the family the term Maverick was branded for: Arizona Sen. John McCain happily donned the “maverick” mantle in 2000 as he climbed aboard […]

Also appearing on the front page of today’s WaPo: FEC Warns McCain on Campaign Spending Oh the straight talk express has really derailed now. More […]
Because Senate won’t confirm all the people he wants. What this Washington Post article fails to mention is that a lot of them are held up because Bush wants one key person confirmed. There is a little mention of that person: Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) chastised Bush for sticking with nominees who […]
Just wait and see what happens if we have a President McCain. Right now a lot of the stonewalling comes from Republicans blocking Democratic legislation. That part may continue, but if John McCain becomes President then you will likely see a lot of legislation get blocked because the Republicans don’t want to give it to […]

One thing kept going through my mind during Monday night’s debate slugfest; “the Republicans will love this”. Hillary and Barack may have lowered the chances of a Democratic president this year with their little back and forth jabs: A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll asked voters who has the personality and leadership qualities to be president.
