I guess criddic has his computer again. I don't know whether to say "Welcome back!" or "Uh-oh..." Speaking of campaigning. Isn't it interesting that in 2004 Bush proposed a $2.3 trillion budget and vowed to cut the deficit in half by '09? And this year, Bush proposes a $2.9 tril...

Now I know why Judy Miller was so willing to go to prison. Doing jail time wouldn't have been all that much of a step down after going down and dirty with Ahmend Chalabi.

Dubya just gave his speech at the U.S. Naval Academy and the transcript reads like he actually has no intention of withdrawing any troops in the foreseeable future.

What I am highly curious about is, if Dubya does call for substantial troop reductions in his speech tomorrow, will Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, the people at freerepublic.com, et al., continue to defend him; or, will they turn on him and say that he has now turned into a disloyal cut-and-runner.

From the few glances I have made out of curiosity to foxnews.com, it seems they're making their top story the riots in France as a convenient way to avoid reporting on Plamegate.

The site should send a letter back to the Church Of Scientology saying, "Go ahead. File the damn thing. A judge will simply throw it out so fast it will make your head spin."
