In the back pages of the New York Times, law professor Kris Kobach, who helped draft the new Arizona law, dispels the case for harassment in the state’s requirement of immigrants to show proper documents.

When U.S. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, you know, the guy whose business cards read “soldier of Allah,” killed American soldiers on American soil, Barack Obama’s first words were that we should not be quick to come to judgment.

This is a video that helps explain the mentality of news reporters. Check out this airhead news reporter doing a report on gun safety.

Then, as if that part of the video is not bad enough, notice how the cameraman never seems to realize that his life is in danger....

The nonprofit group Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with FMCSA in October 2006 for information about activities surrounding any program to evaluate Mexico-domiciled motor carriers that would be permitted to operate beyond the Mexico-United States border zone.

Finally the Bush team creates an ad that is worth playing. After a few pretty soft and non-catchy commercials this is the one that needs to be played until the end of the campaign. It is called "Risk", and asks the question if we can risk a liberal in the white house.

Quick Poll Is the world better off now that the U.S. has captured Saddam Hussein, or would it be better had the U.S. never invaded Iraq? The world is actually in worse condition, and Saddam should still be in power because the U.S. acted rashly. Better off now that the U.S. is upholding U.N. resolutions and holding Saddam accountable for his actions. The condition of the world is the same now as it was before the war in Iraq. Needs a FReeping
