Don’t let the 39th president near small furry animals of any kind. Not rabbits. Certainly not cats. 5/13/90To Sybil,Lamentably, I killed your cat while trying just to sting it. It was crouched, as usual, under one of our bird feeders & I fired from some distance with bird shot. It may ease your grief somewhat to know that the cat was buried properly with a prayer & that I’ll be glad to get you another of your choice.I called & came by your house several times. We will be in the Dominican Republic until Thursday. I’ll see you then.Love, Jimmy...

Surprise! Congress is larding up the defense budget with miscellaneous taxpayer-funded boondoggles. # $25,000,000 for the Hawaii Federal Health Care Network, added by Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii). # $23,000,000 for the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC), added by Rep. John “Jack” Murtha (D-Pa.). This is the project over which Rep. Murtha threatened a colleague for challenging in the spring. Since 1992, more than $509 million has been used to fund NDIC, which is administered by the Department of Justice (DOJ.). Ironically, DOJ does not want the NDIC and has asked Congress to shut the agency down because the department believes...

The transcript of my interview with the New York Times' John Burns is here.The audio for the two-hour broadcast will be here later.

Do you believe that’s an accurate argument? JB: Well, you would think it would be so, wouldn’t you, that the threat of withdrawal of American troops, and the risk of a slide into catastrophic levels of violence, much...

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Electric-rate shock for consumers could produce a windfall for Governor Ed Rendell's alternative energy agenda. Rendell originally touted a new per-kilowatt electricity surcharge as way to raise at least 60 (M) million dollars a year. The idea was to pay back 850 (M) million dollars in borrowing to subsidize alternative energy projects and electricity conservation efforts. But while state Senate Republicans say they support the program's goal, they oppose the surcharge. Instead, they say the program can be supported by an existing tax on electricity bills, which are expected to rise substantially as rate caps expire...

The seasoned Hill aide knew what she was getting into when she agreed to become Hillary Clinton's chief of staff. The woman was quite prepared for all eyes to be on the biggest celebrity arriving in Congress, the first lady of the United States, who was expected to use her Senate seat as a springboard back into the White House. But what caught Tamera Luzzatto unawares was the full force of the Hillary machine already in place and making decisions.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) yesterday reaffirmed her commitment to end the war in Iraq, but her words were greeted with skepticism and some boos by anti-war liberal activists. Addressing the liberal pressure group Campaign for America’s Future, Pelosi called the war in Iraq a “tragedy” and a “grotesque mistake,” but her words elicited catcalls for her to do more. Pelosi acknowledged the protesters and even challenged them. At one point in her remarks, she told the protesters, “The best preparation for combat is combat.” When someone shouted a question about Darfur, Pelosi segued into a discussion about her visit...

Edwards' daughter picks Hillary! © 2007 West Branch Times Thu Jun 21 2007 11:07:44 ET Elizabeth Edwards and her two youngest children, Emma Claire, 9, and Jack, 7, stopped in West Branch for an hour or so Saturday afternoon. She was here to campaign on behalf of her husband, Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who is vying to win the Iowa Caucuses, a feat he nearly accomplished four years ago. As home of the first-in-the-nation caucuses, Iowans are no stranger to political visits; many of us know that they rarely start or end when they’re supposed to, and that things...

John Edwards hasn't won over any friends at the American Legion for his plan to protest the war on Memorial Day. Paul Morin, national commander of the American Legion, posted an open letter of the group’s website blasting Edwards for what Morin says is an inappropriate political calculation that "blatantly violated the sanctity of this most special day," the Hill reports. Edwards wants people to protest the war at Memorial Day Parades and gatherings, take photos and then he will place those photos on his website. “Buy a bunch of poster-board and markers,” the website says. “At a picnic or...
