An attractive female Iraq War vet telling Sen. Obama to meet one-on-one with Gen. Petraeus: that’s a guaranteed video hit in the conservative blogosphere.

The Colombia free trade pact remains stalled in Congress while Colombia’s president Alvaro Uribe has made concession after concession to win over Democrats. He’s extradited right-wing paramilitaries to stand trial in the U.S. on drug charges and didn’t intervene when his cousin was arrested. The LA Times editorial board noticed Uribe’s efforts probably won’t help [...]
Sen. Obama mixing up what Nazi camp his uncle liberated would be a less-than-one-day story if his campaign staff provided better documentation:
Okay, so we have supposedly learned that it was Obama’s Great Uncle that liberated a sub-section of Buchenwald, not an uncle at Auschwitz. But if sources are correct and unless there’s some arcane military [...]
Two Presidential candidates walking side-by-side surveying the situation in a foreign land is nothing I’ve ever heard happen in American politics. Sen. Lindsey Graham floated idea of Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain jointly visiting Iraq and meeting with Gen. David Petraeus and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The only thing similar I can think [...]
Sen. John McCain will be holding a town hall meeting in Greendale, WI tomorrow. Let me know if you plan to go. I’ll want to ask you how it went.

There’s no way government planners could ever get more people to use mass transit like high gas prices have.

Yesterday, I got a little too much sun, but it was worth it watching the National Memorial Day Parade along the mall in Washington, D.C. Enjoy the slide show.

I think political analysts are using their rear-view mirrors to look at the 2008 Presidential race. In a post on Florida Governor Charlie Crist as a possible VP pick David Brody writes,
Let’s face it. The general election is going to be won (just like every general election) by winning the Independent vote.
That was certainly the [...]
Home prices continued to fall in April but so did inventories. Based on the Case-Shiller index home prices are at the level they were in 2003. Supply and demand continue doing their thing.
High gas prices and concerns about the jobs market have pushed consumer confidence to a 16-year low. Discouraged consumers are more likely to [...]
We’re unofficially in summer. It’s an excuse for Sen. Obama to go on vacation. Two embarrassing mistakes in two days tells me he’s tired. First, it was Obama seeing dead people. Now, it’s his family’s myth of an uncle liberating Auschwitz.
It’s good for a laugh for a day or two, but trying to turn Obama [...]
Let’s remember those who died in service to our country.

I watched HBO’s Recount tonight. It’s a dramatized version of what happened in the 2000 Florida recount. It was entertaining (Kevin Spacey and Dennis Leary are rarely bad) but expected. Democrats were pictured as the more civil, more restrained, if naive ones while Republicans were the win-at-all-costs types. Democrats: good; Republicans: evil. Par for the [...]
Sunrise, Sunshine. Sen. Obama’s getting a little Dan Quayle-ish:
At first, it seemed as if Barack Obama might just be speaking figuratively, as is his wont sometimes. “How’s it going, Sunshine? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you everybody. It’s good to be in Sunshine!” Obama declared on taking the stage this afternoon for a [...]
No, not me. I’m still job hunting. Mary Katharine Ham who made her name at Townhall.com will be editing The Washington Examiner’s website starting next month.
What makes it really good is she’s a conservative moving into the world of hard news. The MSM won’t change simply because we gripe, complaint, and shame them. It will [...]
