Free kibbles

During the 20th century, often called the American century, mankind experienced unprecedented growth in health, wealth, and freedom worldwide. That's what American leadership and the American values of family, personal freedom, personal responsibility, and severely restricted government have done for the world.

Bloateded on pork, House Democrats try to force timetable for Iraq withdrawal on Bush. Bush vows to veto. This is a huge mistake by Democrats. They've been exposed for egregious vote-buying through pork projects, and they've unequivocally assumed the mantle of undermining the troops, giving Bush the high ground to use from his bully pulpit. And Bush won't hesitate, like he normally does, to use his bully pulpit on this issue.

It's just unbelievable to me that people still claim that Plame was a covert agent. It doesn't matter what Plame said, even if she said she was a covert angel of God. It doesn't matter what Waxman said. No amount of wishing, lying, repeating and trying to take advantage of the situation will make it so.

Texas Youth Commission official arrested for lying to police about sexual abuse.

Gov. Kathleen Blanco of Louisiana won't run for a second term. Maybe in Louisiana they know how badly she screwed up during Katrina. You won't hear about it anywhere else because that would mute the blame Bush agenda.
