So it looks like John McCain hit Barack Obama right in his sensitive spot: his ego. McCain’s latest ad puts Obama right up there with all the other attention-hungry, vain celebrities like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Obama, for his part, sniffed haughtily and pretty much reaffirmed the ad’s main point, which is that it’s […]
We can not get rid of this guy fast enough. WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republican Sen. Ted Stevens pleaded not guilty on Thursday to charges of concealing more than $250,000 in gifts from an oil services company, and his lawyer asked for a quick trial in an effort to clear his name before the November election. […]
Apparently, Captain Renault works for the International Olympic Committee. BEIJING (Reuters) – The media should have been told they would not have total Internet freedom before arriving for the Beijing Olympics, a senior IOC official said on Thursday, as rights groups piled criticism on both the IOC and host China.

The search committee, now led by Caroline Kennedy and Eric Holder, raised Veneman’s name — among others — […]
Michael Barone is exactly right. In a country with less in the way of checks and balances, which can be gamed by adroit lobbyists and litigators, we would be building more nuclear plants, and would be drilling offshore and in ANWR. We would be phasing out the corn ethanol subsidies that are enriching Iowa farmers […]
Barack Obama, the one-man hype machine, managed to get off perhaps the most amazing line in a story from the New York Times about how candidates get “that Presidential look”. In response to a question about whether his staff is “measuring the curtains” at the White House he said, “We don’t buy our own hype…”. […]
Thank you, Mr. President. NEW YORK (Reuters) – U.S. retail gasoline prices have fallen more than 10 cents per gallon in a week and could fall another 25 cents by the end of summer, a sign the worst is over for U.S. motorists this vacation season. You’d think that the MSM might mention his stance […]
