Nixon, India and the Worst Pirates in World History

Fox News' Chris Wallace defends President Bush over Ron Howard's comparisons to Richard Nixon. Now, I would agree that the War in Iraq was probably done with good intentions. However, his firm commitment to excessive government powers, spy tactics, disregard for our Constitution as allowing companies to pillage our economy is worse than any Watergate. His crime was being the biggest liberal that ever even considered running for the Presidency.

After the attacks in Mubai, India demands that Pakistan hand over 20 suspected terrorists thought to be living in Pakistan. You have two very anxious nuclear powers with escalating tensions. This doesn't look like it's going to end well. Especially since five of the terrorists are still at-large.

California is in a financial state of emergency. I guess this is what being the most liberal state in the nation gets you. Now they have a bankrupt government to go along with their tradition of the highest gas prices, some of the highest tax rates and the most intrusive government in the nation.

President-elect Barack Obama names his National Security Team. He has a nice mix of Republicans and Democrats. It's funny that Dems almost always choose a Republican to be Secretary of Defense.

Some encouraging news from the CEO of Ford Motor Company.

Pirates attack an American cruise ship. But, the luxury yacht manages to escape by outrunning their boat. The pirates had a top speed of 27 mph. That's pretty pathetic. Well, unless we start using our military to escort these ships, we may have to get used to these 21st century buccaneers.

American kids lie, cheat and steal at alarming rates. It's worse for the private-school students.
