This just begs an important question With budget talks between Republicans and Democrats far from resolution, official Washington braced on Tuesday for a replay of the Great Government Shutdowns of 1995 and 1996.

It went so poorly that even Talking Points Memo notices and discusses According to a Pew poll released Tuesday, 57% of Americans don’t think the U.S. has a clear plan in Libya, a seven-point rise since last week, and one that comes after President Obama addressed the country to lay out the nation’s involvement and […]

Say, when are we going to intervene in Cote D’Ivoire? Wouldn’t this simply be a humanitarian mission? The UN secretary general has urged Ivory Coast’s internationally-backed president to investigate hundreds of deaths blamed partly on his supporters. Ban Ki-moon said he was “concerned and alarmed” about the reports, from the town of Duekoue, but Alassane […]

Well, maybe that headline isn’t quite fair. The New Republic’s Tom Malinowski wonders why Obama is getting no credit for stopping an atrocity. OK, fine. I’ll give him credit for stopping the possibility of one atrocity, and I still maintain that intervening in Libya is the right thing, though, there needs to be a clear […]

After the initial silence of the Liberals, following Obama sending the US military to attack Libya (again, I agree with the actions), Liberals have been working overtime to find an avenue to say that Barack H. Obama, a man who was (supposedly) deeply anti-war, a man who would heal the world, build new bridges, was […]

So, perusing a bit of the Google Feedreader, started at the bottom (after working my way down for the Patriotic Pinup post), and ran across two very interesting posts at Wizbang. First up, they have a video, via American Digest’s Gerard Vanderleun, which shows the “relentlessness of the great wave.’ This is rather spellbinding, and […]
