The Honorable Michael B. Donley Secretary of the Air Force 1060 Air Force, Pentagon Washington, DC 20330-1670 Dear Mr. Secretary: I am writing to you about an issue of significant importance, the Light Air Support program to supply aircraft and training to the Afghanistan National Army Air Corps as well as support our partner building efforts with other allies.

Rep. Allen West, R-Plantation, delivered a vintage performance Tuesday — full of confidence, never backing down — even when facing a somewhat restive audience posing sometimes hostile questions.

He says Sarah Palin would make a better king-maker and Huckabee should stick with his successful Fox News show.

Sweet mercy, bring me strong liquor in large containers, for I have just learned that Allen West is "not a kitten kind of guy." Yes. Allen West prefers puppies. Didja hear that? Puppies. This information comes atcha courtesy of the Sun Sentinel. No, it does not report that Allen West prefers puppies when looking for something to strangle with his bare hands, or that he enjoys biting off their horrible yapping heads when he tires of their demands for handouts. No. The Sentinel really is reporting that Allen West ... likes puppies. And that's not all! When Allen West planted...
