Sweetness and Light has the details of Senator Clinton’s plans for Iraq, should she get elected Commander in Chief. *shudders* This is, as S&L notes, a flip flop on her part (before, she wanted troops out of Iraq by the time the next President – presumably her – is sworn in) but it’s one of [...]

Ok, as we all know, this month in basketball circles is considered “March Madness” because of the next several weeks worth of exciting NCAA basketball tourney games. I’m in two pools, and have picked Kansas to beat Carolina in the final game (my full bracket can be viewed here – don’t laugh!). Even if I [...]

 

Did the 9-11 Commission recommend union access to Homeland Security workers?

No, I didn’t think they did, either. The media has reported breathlessly the last couple of days about how the Senate passed a bill that would implement “many of the remaining reforms suggested by the Sept. 11 commission, answering its three-year-old call for better emergency communications; more money for cities at high risk of terrorist [...]

Remember the publicity-seeking six imams who were escorted off a US Airways flight last November at Minneapolis/St. Paul International airport after some of the crew and passengers on the flight noted suspicous behavior? They are, as expected, going forward with filing a lawsuit against US Airways and the Metropolitan Airports Commission after their attempt at [...]
