Iraqi Politicial Tells the Truth

WASHINGTON (AP) – During a day-long session on Capitol Hill, General David Petraeus fielded questions from Democrat lawmakers ranging from the insipidly puerile to the monumentally retarded as he explained why it would be necessary to retain current troop levels in Iraq. “Why should we put all this effort into Iraq,” asked Missouri Democrat Ike […]

As most of you know, I’m a resident of the great state of North Carolina. With that in mind, there are a couple of things I wanted to talk about briefly.

Over the years, a lot of women that Bill Clinton has had uh…let’s say relations with…have claimed that they’ve been harassed. We’re talking break-ins, threats, pets being murdered, you name it.

Here’s an excerpt from Robert Scheer’s latest screed at the HuffPo that just drips with contempt for David Petraeus, General Betray Us? Of course he has.

One of the more entertaining/annoying (It depends on the day) things about getting to a certain level in blogging is that you get emails from kooks who like to blast their nonsense out to you, every paper and radio host on the planet, and half of Congress. The good in these emails is that on […]
