I’m sure you’ve heard the reports of what this process actually feels like (a slow drowning), so I’ll spare you Hitchens’ explanation.
Instead, let’s look at the aftermath…
The interrogators would hardly have had time to ask me any questions, and I knew that I would quite readily have agreed to supply any answer. I still feel [...]

More about his decision…

I know at least one of my fellow bloggers here at Donklephant strongly disagrees, and while I understand and appreciate the views of those who think this FISA legislation is still a gross violation of our civil liberties, the previous incarnation of this bill earlier this year (without tougher restrictions on telcoms) [...]

They know the surge is making conditions safer. They know Iran is involved in Iraq.
And yet…
A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 65% of Americans would like to see U.S. troops brought home from Iraq within a year. That’s the highest total recorded in the tracking poll which has been conducted regularly since August [...]

It looks like a small device was set off next to a military recruiting station.
Here’s more…
The police said the explosive device involved in the Times Square blast this morning was “roughly similar” to the devices used in two earlier bombings at foreign consulates in Manhattan, in 2005 and 2007, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said [...]

Just watch.

These aren’t bad people, they’re just ridiculously ill-informed. But there are a lot of similar views out there and if the Democrats think November will be a cake walk, well, take this stuff lightly at your own peril.

Looks like my previous post applies less to Ron Paul and more to Michael Bloomberg.
From GazetteXtra:
NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Bloomberg may soon begin a massive operation to get on the ballot in up to 15 states even though the billionaire mayor may not decide until May whether to run for president, according to associates.
Despite [...]

Why? Because the Democratic legislature thought it cost way too much. Interesting twist, no?
The question I have is if California can’t pass it, will this spell doom for a national healthcare initiative?
From WSJ:
The idea was that Mr. Schwarzenegger would set a national precedent, leading to a groundswell for reform in Washington. Not to mention that [...]

If we pull out of Iraq immediately, will Iran move in? I asked Congressman Ron Paul, one of this election’s biggest proponents of immediate troop withdrawal.

I still stand by my position. What do you think?

Yesterday, there was a Martin Luther King Jr. Day rally outside of the State House in Columbia, SC. All three of the Democratic Presidential Candidates were there and each gave a speech. Accross the street from the rally, a group of confederate flag supporters were demonstrating their cause throughout the whole event. I spoke to [...]

At a rally in Dover, New Hampshire, Barack Obama was interrupted by a group of abortion protestors. I think he handled the situation pretty well.

It was certainly a clever phrase, but it was rude of them to interrupt him. What do you think?

Yesterday I went to a Mitt Romney rally at the University of South Carolina. At the very beginning, the former Massachusetts governor/ champion of family values displayed his unbelievably cute baby grandson to the crowd.

Sorry for the sarcasm, its just my nature. Anyway, what do you think…was Governor Romney using the child as a [...]

Hello from South Carolina!! Yesterday I saw Fred Thompson at a BBQ restaraunt in Columbia named “Sticky Fingers”. (The sauce was amazing). Anyway, the former Senator from Tennessee explained why he is the “Clear Conservative Choice” and seemed pretty excited about the ribs. Towards the end of the appearance, he was a little annoyed by [...]

So last night, outside of a voting location in Manchester, New Hampshire, I ran into Mike Huckabee. Well… one of his supporters had built a peddle car, and brought it to the voting location. Huckabee took it for a little spin.
I also asked the governor why young voters should want him to be president. Then, [...]

From NPR:
Some big names in politics — Republicans, Democrats and Independents — are getting together to talk about the possible need for a third-party candidate in the presidential election this year.
Former Sen. Sam Nunn and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg are among the people attending the conference. Another is former Sen. David Boren, who [...]

So I was out a local brewery in downtown Des Moines last night, and I randomly met three women who have known Governor Bill Richardson for 30 years. Two of them are deputy Secretarys in his cabinet. I just happened to have my camera with me, so I interviewed them…

My video tomorrow should be pretty [...]

Looks like NJ Dems were able to push it through using a fiscal responsibility argument.
From the WaPo:
NEW YORK, Dec. 13 — New Jersey lawmakers on Thursday became the first in the nation to abolish the death penalty since the Supreme Court restored it in 1976. Opponents of capital punishment hope the state’s action may prompt [...]

Just watch.

Yeah, the part where they zoom in on his lips and make him sound like a robot is a bit dramatic, but the point is clear. We’re being lied to and our country is not being made safer by subverting the Constitution.
You have been warned.

The war drums just started getting a little quieter.
From US News:
In a report sure to further complicate the U.S.-led drive for additional sanctions against Iran, the atomic watchdog agency of the United Nations has given Iran relatively good marks for its recent cooperation in clearing up suspicions over past nuclear work. [...]
The IAEA said it [...]
