Iran is concerned US plans to use Iraq as a base to attack. It's pretty obvious Bush wants to use Iraq at least as a base to deter, and maybe attack, Iran. Poland to pull out of Iraq. They're walking away from a chance to participate in success.

Mexico requests US aid to fight drug gangs. Here we are again, funding both sides of a war. We fund the Mexican drug cartels through our war on terror and we fund the Mexican government to fight them.

Republican Congressional Committee Treasurer accused of embezzling $500,000. It's just another day in the corruption factory.

Democrats are upset the war bill helps Iraqis and ignores Katrina victims. Hello? It's a war bill, not a hurricane assistance bill. The US is not an insurance company anyway. If Katrina victims can't afford to rebuild, it's their own fault. It's not taxpayers' responsibility to rebuild for people. That's a personal responsibility.

Clinton suspends candidacy. Full speech.

Obama needs to change his policies toward Pakistan and the war on terror, but I don't think Musharraf is a good messenger.

McCain adviser explains that an Obama presidency is more of a continuation of Bush's policies because Obama will continue (accelerate) Bush's horrible spending and fiscal irresponsibility. This is a good move to present McCain as a fiscal reformer.

Phoenix lander has trouble testing first soil sample, possibly because the sample is too clumped.

George Will explains that anybody who voted for a senator or congressman who voted against drilling in ANWR and off the coasts (like Obama, McCain, and Clinton and hundreds more) is disqualified from complaining about gas prices. We voted for these idiots, so we have nobody to blame but ourselves for our plight.

Democrats stick $1.6 billion earmark for plaintiff's lawyers into energy legislation, incentivizing more class action lawsuits.

Democrats claim that voter fraud isn't a problem, but this sample study shows it most certainly is a problem as 300 dead people recently voted in Connecticut and thousands more are registered. Officials can wave their hands and claim clerical errors, but somebody voted for that dead person. That's fraud, period. That's why we need voter ID laws to protect law-abiding voters.

Another elected official who doesn't bother to pay her mortgage. I'm sure he's waiting for the Federal bail out.

Abortion is probably the most divisive issue in America, yet our government forces taxpayers to pay for abortions. And Planned Parenthood is making a profit. That's just nuts. People who want abortions can pay for themselves, or they can be paid for by donations from people who support abortion on demand.

Senate Minority Leader McConnell shuts down Senate because Democrats have stalled progress on judges.

Top Clinton adviser Mark Penn blames Hillary's loss on lack of money. I guess that's how the Clintons congratulate and support Obama. Maybe Obama raised more money because more people supported him.

Mark Steyn pens another gem about how Obama wants to remake the greatest nation in the world along lines of the not so great nations. The press is downright hilarious with how it's handling Obama's nomination. They've already declared him the winner in Nov, and the guy could barely win the Democrat nomination when running against a return to the most corrupt administration in our lives and probably ever. Even Democrats didn't like this guy. Just the press and the Marxist wing.

It's about time that Bernanke and the Bush administration started caring about the value of the dollar. Bernanke's statements that the Fed is finally going to honor it's primary charge and control inflation, and his recognition that the devaluation of the dollar is the cause of that inflation is great news for Americans. By taking action to appreciate the dollar, the oil bubble should burst and food prices should drop, because both have been driven up by the devaluation of the dollar. This could have a significant impact on the election. I find Kudlow's faith in McCain a little odd though.
