House Democrats to boost spending. It'll never be enough. Unless we stop them, the government will take everything from us.

Bush and Congress stand firm in battle over aids testifying under oath. Bush doesn't want to allow Congress to go on a witch-hunt and use inevitable contradictory testimony to charge perjury like Fitzgerald did to Libby. Congress wants to do just that. Democrats are going to push this non-issue into a constitutional crisis. The only reason they're doing it is Bush is so unpopular, that they can. But Democrats have repeatedly overreached when dealing with Bush, and he has thumped them every time, but this time Bush is more unpopular than ever. House panel authorizes subpoenas.

David Iglesias, a recently fired U.S. Attorney, was fired for dragging his heals on prosecuting voter fraud. Even he knows it. Of course he's upset - he just got fired, so he's blaming politics as if it was a bad thing. But aggressively pursuing voter fraud is a crime fighting priority for Bush's Department of Justice, and Bush wanted another Attorney to pick up the investigation. It is politics because the President, a political figure, sets the agenda. That's how it's supposed to work. Maybe it will turn out that Iglesias was right about the evidence. That's fine. Maybe he was doing a good job, but Bush wanted another Attorney to take over, and that's his prerogative. Unfortunately, Bush and Gonzales are incompetent, and failed to accurately address the issue. That's what cronyism gets you.

Dick Morris says Bush should turn the tables using his bully pulpit to make voter fraud the issue. No kidding. The power of C0ngress to subpoena and hold in contempt.

White House threatens veto over allowing D.C. a vote in Congress. There's a reason D.C. isn't a state and doesn't get a vote. By it's very nature, it's too tied in the federal government. Democrats don't care about what's good for the country, they just know that D.C. is a Democrats stronghold, so they're playing politics. I'm sure if D.C. was a Republican stronghold, the Republicans would be pushing for allowing them a vote, and Democrats would be resisting. But this issue should never be about politics. We need to oust both parties now. The 2 century long wait bias is nonsense. Everybody who choses to live in D.C. understands they don't get a voting representative in Congress, which is how it should be. If they want a voting Representative, they can move to a state.

Attacks on freedom on speech in the name of the War on Drugs. "Just say no" to the War on Drugs.

Gore given special treatment by Congress so his testimony couldn't be analyzed by news channels as usual. Inhofe/Gore exchange should make great theater.

Taliban and al Qaeda still killing each other in Pakistan. It's funny how today's article declines to mention those names, unlike yesterday's.

Heavy fighting in Mogadishu.

Indonesian Muslims jailed for beheading Christian girls. 20 and 14 years. That hardly seems long enough.

Ban Alert: Bangor Maine has outlawed smoking in a car with a person under the age of 18 inside. It's official - you can't even smoke in your own car.

Nancy Pelosi and John Murtha's anti-war buddies vandalized Congressman's office sign about supporting the troops and burned a soldier in effigy. This is how liberals support the troops.

Muslim group has volunteered to defend for free the citizens who reported the 6 imams. That's excellent news.

Demonizing Hillary. Give me a break. Hillary demonized herself decades ago, and we all saw it during her first Clinton co-Presidency. It's downright scary that a bunch of Democrats want to reelect the most corrupt administration in history.

Gingrich, who's private life has always been his political problem, says private lives should not be an issue. Wishful thinking. I'm sure Giulianni, Hillary, and McCain all hope the same.

John Stossel says consumer reporters are fear-mongers.
