  —The Conservative Reader

  The ban on offshore drilling expires tonight at midnight Eastern Time.  At this writing, that’s just five hours away.

  There has been some startling developments in the race for the White House in the State of Missouri in the last few days. Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has announced that it is launching what it is called a “truth squad” to counter what it perceives as lies and misleading [...]

  —Homercles: Space Monkey Man of Tomorrow

  Just thought I'd pose an additional question along the same line of thought as my last post. Now that we've seen what Obama and the Dems are willing to do to attain power, how far do you think they'll go to keep it? PS: New link to the video I embedded a [...]

• Did Joe Biden plagiarize Hillary's claim of being shot at, too?

  —watersblogged!

  Like Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden has falsely claimed to have been shot at by the bad guys in a war zone.
  
  Unlike Hillary, the MSM is giving old Joe a pass about it.
  
  He's Barak Obama's running mate, you see, instead of his opponent.

  Number of comments: 1
  My favorite opinion pieces are the ones that evenly spread the blame.  What’s wrong with America right now isn’t democrat or republican polices, but a combination of both.  My favorite line is the slam on Republicans that references Valley Forge:  America has survived a feckless political class in the past, and [...]
