Today's Tidbits

For the first time in 30 years, the United States will have a diplomatic presence in Iran. I guess the whole "Axis of Evil" and "negotiating with enemies" stuff has met its end.

Chicago is considering bringing in the National Guard to help minimize the wave of violence they've been dealing with. A child has been shot nearly every day since June 26th. Pretty sad.

Obama is under intense pressure by his trip to the Middle East. Foreign policy is thought to be his weakness. If he can find a way to come out of this trip shining, he may lock in his chances to be POTUS.

Bob Barr says that selecting judges is no reason to vote for McCain. He basically echoes something that I've said for a while. Today's Republicans, including John McCain, are just as liberal and intrusive as the Democrats. They just have different issues.

Bill Clinton says he is now ready to campaign for Obama. I wonder how much Barack's campaign had to pay him.

Obama says the cartoon cover of New Yorker magazine is offensive to Muslims. Hey Obama, save your pity and stop avoiding us if you are really that concerned about our well-being.
