To say that HUMMER's launch timing for the H3T sport-utility-truck couldn't be worse seems like an understatement.

While you and I both would probably agree that pigs wallowing in mud may be a little bit dirty and we may think it is gross, pigs love wallowing in it. In fact, for pigs, it is a necessity. The reason I say this is because I just finished reading Glenn’s piece titled Democrats’ strategy: [...]

Search at Thomas, if interested. At this point, any information about these resolutions seems to be of the order of “fyi.” NewsComm is a day late and a dollar short in reporting this, but the NewsComm staff (me, 2 cats and the granddog) just didn’t catch it at the time. Hat tip to Mary, whose staff [...]

Emergency! All of us need to be phoning our congressmembers and demanding that they oppose passage of this nefarious resolution which is essentially a recitation of neo-con distortions of Iran. This is a major escalation towards a war on Iran. Sadly, Robert Wexler, Debbie Schultz, Ron Klein, Alcee Hastings, Tim Mahoney and Kendrick Meek all [...]

Maybe I've not been keeping up, or maybe this hasn't been covered in the UK national media. A US House of Representatives resolution effectively requiring a naval blockade on Iran seems fast tracked for passage, but experts say the measures called for in the resolutions amount to an act of war. H.CON.RES 362 "demands" that the President impose "stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles,...
