Jimmy Carter Blasts Bush Foreign Policy And “Subservient” Tony Blair
Former President Jimmy Carter, a thorn in the side and a pain in a certain southerly part of the anatomy for many Presidents since he left office, has opened up both verbal barrels in a broadside against the foreign policy of President George Bush and the political choices of British Prime Minister Tony Blair. And a biographer says the force of Carter's denunciations is not … [Read more...] about Jimmy Carter Blasts Bush Foreign Policy And “Subservient” Tony Blair

Fred Thompson: Centrist?
PatHMV wrote an interesting post for Stubborn Facts about Fred Thompson (and Al Gore). Thompson wrote an article yesterday for Pajamas Media, in which he thanks the 'online community' for its support and in which he appeals for, yes, bipartisanship. In his post, PatHMV contrasts Thompson('s post) with Gore('s book). Those of you who know me from Centerfield know that I've … [Read more...] about Fred Thompson: Centrist?
Triangle of Death Hostage Search: Day 7
A helicopter drops leaflets over search area (red circle). There is probably no non-urban area in Iraq more challenging to conduct a search for captured soldiers than the Triangle of Death. The triangle is crisscrossed by irrigation ditches and canals that flow from the Euphrates River, which makes the dragnet for three U.S. soldiers abducted a week ago by an Al Qaeda-led … [Read more...] about Triangle of Death Hostage Search: Day 7

This afternoon my phones (unlisted home and business) went out. So did my television cable. So did my Internet. They went out around 4 and JUST came back on. Now the question is: is this a WISE thing to do -- to put … [Read more...] about Power Outage: The Disadvantages Of Cable “Bundling”

Sabato’s Crystal Ball: Jerry Falwell and the Politics of Double-Edged Swords
PLUS: A Kentucky Barn Burner? Religion is well beyond the scope of the Crystal Ball (thank goodness), but there is no denying the intersection of religion and politics in America. In 1928 Democrat Al Smith lost in part because of his Catholicism, and John F. Kennedy nearly lost in 1960 for much the same reason. (At least one study has suggested that a generic Protestant … [Read more...] about Sabato’s Crystal Ball: Jerry Falwell and the Politics of Double-Edged Swords
