- Some advice to liberal representatives: do not compare the Nazis or Hitler to the events of nine-eleven. It doesn’t equate, and it is not good politics. But the first Muslim congressmen was right when he said that the Bush administration has “exploited the fears that grew from 9/11, in order to pass legislation and even start wars they could have never gotten away with but for that tragedy.“

- Washington, DC: the Las Vegas of the East.

- How much does it cost the taxpayers for the cots to be brought out for an all-night debate? And where do the cots come from? Is there a massive storage closet in the Capitol Building? These cots, unfortunately, were used as a photo-op for the dems (what’s it called, political theater), albeit for a very important debate on the future of the war in Iraq.

- The White House politicized yet another nonpartisan agency in the run-up to the 2006 midterm election, the Office of National Drug Control Policy. (I thought they were republicans.)

- And a new report “concludes that the United States is losing ground on a number of fronts in the fight against Al Qaeda, and describes the terrorist organization as having significantly strengthened over the past two years.” President Bush’s solution: another surge in Iraq.
