That's probably why Hezbollah is sitting on the sidelines. Israel should take this opportunity to wipe Hamas out.

If government is going to pay for health care, then an obesity tax makes a lot of sense. But it's another example of a big government solution to a big government created problem. People should pay for their own health care and health insurance.

Congratulations to the RNC for growing some balls and organizing a resolution condemning Bush and congressional Republicans for their bailouts. There may be hope for Republicans yet.

Charging this poor man with murder, because he let his children walk to their mother's in snow and his daughter froze to death, is uncalled for. It was obviously a terrible decision, but he's suffering enough punishment for it already.
