Quote of the Day
I want to address kind of a rumor, an urban legend that's going around -- and it comes from language in the President's Wednesday night address to the nation, that in talking about Iran and Syria, that he was trying to prepare the way for war with either country and that there are war preparations underway: There are not. What the President was talking about is defending American forces within Iraq and also doing what we can to disrupt networks that might be trying to convey weapons or fighters into battle theaters within Iraq to kill Americans and Iraqis.
As regards Iran, the United States is using diplomatic measures right now to address concerns -- including Iran's nuclear program. We've been working with the United Nations Security Council, recently got a chapter seven resolution. So this is something that is very important to push back, because I know there's been a lot of speculation about it. Let me just try to put that to rest once and for all.
(So there!)

Our President deep in thought. God bless you, Mr. President.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
You're most welcome and thanks, sweet you.
This hits the nail on the head perfectly. Character does count--but they don't understand the meaning of the word. I always love your writing Common Tator! Thank you.
we all sent cards to rummy, maybe we SHOULD SEND CARDS TO CONDI!!!!!!!!!!
It must've been pretty awful. I heard about it by way of an e-mail from one of her and my friends, and I happened to check my e-mail at my brother in law's folks' place when we all gathered there for New Years Eve. Needless to say, the news of her death took the jovial mood out of me the rest of the night. I didn't feel much like welcoming in the new year that night.
It is incredibly hypocritical that Boxer can say something like this. Can you imagine the uproar if a Republican man had said this to a female Democrat? The feminists would be hollering fiercely. I can't believe the comment, either about no immediate family. You are right--that was cruel. The whole thing was unbelievable.
I had the same thought today, Jewels.
I agree with this CT, except:
"The press hated Richard Nixon and brought him down."
He managed to bring himself down. He did not deny his actions in the Watergate matter.
