In meetings all day so I can only post some interesting stories from Iraq. First off is some good news about the general security situation in Iraq. Even though there is fighting between the Iraqi government and the rebellious Mahdi Army and cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, much of the rest of Iraq must be fairly quiet […]

Why does the media feel it needs to make up news or shade the facts? Bob Owens over at Confederate Yankee has gross example of outright lies coming from Bob Ross and ABC News. The grossness is because Ross and ABC have not made the obvious corrections to there biased story, even after being notified […]

Reader WWS referred me to this emotional diatribe out of the NY Times, which in a fit of frustration has clearly shown its liberal stripes and unprofessionalism by letting such a piece of ranting fiction out of it’s doors and into the hands of its customers: The Pennsylvania campaign, which produced yet another inconclusive result […]

8:25 PM: Everyone is racing to dump the exit polls. Jim Geraghty has the most interesting reporting on exit polls claiming Drudge got them backwards when he posted 52% Clinton 48% Obama. He also reports Obama winning blue color, Reagan democrats – which is opposite from what has been reported in the exit polls. Looks […]

The news for Mookie is getting worse and he is making some dumb moves which will only hasten his downfall. First off Gateway Pundit has the news Sadr has been disowned by his family. Clearly he doesn’t have the Sadr family on his side anymore after his actions. Alseyed Josef Alsadar a member of the […]

Peace would be only with the Pak government. It was a ridiculous requirement which included a lot of […]

Seems Sadr’s Mahdi Army may not have a lot of support in the Iraqi population after all: IA soldiers discovered a weapons cache in 2 vehicles during Op Charge of the Knights in the Al-Quibla district of Basra, April 19. Acting on a tip from an Iraqi citizen, the IA soldiers found ordnance in the […]

Two stories that definitely go together. First is a story on the pounding al-Qaeda has taken in Iraq as they are being hunted down and pushed out by Iraqis and the US: Between mid-March and mid-April, al Qaeda suffered major losses in Iraq. American and Iraqi troops killed or captured 53 al Qaeda leaders. These […]

Those new to this site might no have been keeping up with my position on embryonic stem cell research and how I find it another example of snake oil chicanery. I have a BS in biology and understand the challenges of decoding the myriad factors required to turn on/off genes so they can express themselves […]

Assuming Drudge has it right with Clinton’s internal polls showing an 11 point lead, and assuming the boost in voter registration is not favoring one candidate too much (and why should it be?), then I would say Clinton is going to have a very good day today. But I don’t think anything will be settled […]
