Luckiest Dog on the Planet
Any dog that Michael Vick owned would be the luckiest dog on the planet. But a dog won’t get that honor, at least not just yet. It’s dumb and silly not to give Vick the chance to give a dog the love, care and devotion that he would give the lucky pet.
Bush and Obama in the Same Class, Almost Equally Popular?
The CNN poll in October that found that almost as many people said they liked George W. Bush as President Obama seemed like it was either a case of some drunk counting the numbers or a headline- grabbing ploy by CNN on a slow news day. The poll seemed to add even more insult to absurdity when it found that a statistically insignificant 2 percent said that Bush was a worse President than Obama.
Stop the Rush to Judgment
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton must explain what she meant when she allegedly signed the much railed- at orders in April and July 2009 that allege that she ordered U.S. diplomats to spy on U.N. officials and others.

Bush’s Lovefest for Obama
Former President George W. Bush seems to be about the only top Republican in the land who hasn’t taken a shot at President Obama.

Insights from White House Advisor

Congress Should Impeach Justice Thomas
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas can and should be impeached. The case and the grounds for impeachment proceedings against him are virtually ironclad. The evidence is compelling that Thomas perjured himself in his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee during his court confirmation hearings in 1991. The evidence is equally compelling that this constituted lying under oath to Congress during the hearings.
Obama Plays the Race Card — Nothing Wrong with That

Condi’s Moving Civil Rights Story Can’t Trump Her Role in Bush’s...
An only slightly repentant former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told a well-heeled, prestigious conference crowd on the Future of Asia at the Chinese University of Hong Kong last March that she had misgivings over the way things ultimately turned out in Iraq. If she had it to do over again, she would press her boss, President Bush, to make a better effort to get the Iraqis more involved in the grunt work of actually rebuilding the war-ravaged country.
