Sen. Dick Durbin has done a limited pullback on his slander of American troops. “More than 1700 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq and our country’s standing in the world community has been badly damaged by the prison abuses at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo.

Today's Union-Tribune has some follow-up reporting on Republican Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham that should've been in its first report -- and evidence continues to grow that Cunningham is on the take. A broad list of home sales during the approximate period of the sale and in the approximate geographic area ranges between $700,000 and $1.7 […]

Today's San Diego Union-Tribune has an article which makes substantial progress on filling a gaping hole I identified in an earlier story on possible corruption by Republican Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham. Said San Diego Realtor Christian Peter: "In November 2003, property values increased approximately 20 percent on a year-to-year basis in San Diego County. A […]
Poor and Stupid's Don Luskin points to an article (which has unfortunately fallen behind a subscription-only wall) that suggests something rather obvious -- that without abortion, there would be more Americans alive to pay Social Security taxes.
