Tancredo, McNulty To Retire
He’s been a positive driving force in the immigration debate, but Tacredo’s decided to retire from Congress in 2008. A spokesman for Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) confirmed Monday that the congressman will not seek another term in Congress in 2008, regardless of his fate in the presidential race.

Edwards: How About Universal Pre-K, Matching Savings Accounts, and College for Everyone?
29. October 2007
And all he’s going to do is ask you to sacrifice by paying higher taxes. Damn. Even Hildebeast knows the country can’t afford all of her policies. John Edwards says if he’s elected president, he’ll institute a New Deal-like suite of programs to fight poverty and stem growing wealth disparity. To do it, he said, [...]
Rudy to Hillary: How About Waiting Till You’re Actually Inaugurated?
29. October 2007
The Glacier’s apparently taken it upon herself to send out envoys to foreign nations, heralding Bush’s departure. Rudy’s got an idea: How about waiting to send out envoys until she’s actually, ya know…President. Clinton has told crowds she would send ”distinguished Americans of both political parties to travel around the world on my behalf with [...]
Iraqi Soldiers Donate to Fire Victims
27. October 2007
I damn-near cried. BAGHDAD, Iraq — Members of the Iraqi Army in Besmaya collected a donation for the San Diego, Calif., fire victims Thursday night at the Besmaya Range Complex in a moving ceremony to support Besmaya’s San Diego residents. Iraqi Army Col. Abbass, the commander of the complex, presented a gift of $1,000 to [...]
House Judiciary Committee Revels Tipsters Email
27. October 2007
Well, I’m so glad these people are in such a high position of power. Maybe, when they retire, they can learn to use email. Although the panel said it would not accept anonymous tips, it assured those who came forward that their identity would be held in the “strictest confidence.” But in an email sent [...]
The Reality With California and The Military
26. October 2007
I was able to take part in a call with Assistant Secretary of Defense Paul McHale as part of the Blogger’s Roundtable today. As you may or many not know, there have been flying accusations that the military response to the fires has been hindered because of the wars. Well, to put it simply, that’s [...]
Warning: CNN/Arson/Separatist Story a Fake
26. October 2007
National Review received an email about this story, which apparently has been going around the web. The article, claiming to be from CNN, reports that MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) is claiming responsibility for the California wildfires. But the article isn’t real. If you check out the url, the domain is “cnnheadlinenews.com”. That’s not [...]
John “Two Americas” Edwards Tries to Suppress College Student Report
26. October 2007
Why? Because it didn’t present him in necessarily a positive light. So, he’s fine with dissent…as long as it favors him. There are two Americas, you see… The News Observer reports: A UNC-Chapel Hill journalism professor said John Edwards’ presidential campaign tried to kill a student’s video story about his campaign headquarters. Associate Professor C.A. [...]
TNR Updates on Beauchamp
26. October 2007
For this one, I’ll send you over to Bryan. Basically, their update claims Beauchamp only said what he said because a rep. from the Army was in the room, that Beauchamp later called Foer and stood by everything, that the Army leaked the transcripts to conservative blogs, etc. The Army acknowledges the link, but doesn’t [...]
Paul Intends to Get Dems to Register As Reps to Vote for Him
26. October 2007
Yes, really. Starting Monday, Paul will begin a $1.1 million television advertising campaign in New Hampshire, according to his aides. He has also planned four trips to the state in November, as well as an 11-day visit in December, anticipating that Secretary of State Bill Gardner may move the primary before Christmas… Perhaps most surprising [...]
