Chastened by a mild reproof from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Congressman Pete Stark apologized today for saying that President Bush sent "kids" to Iraq "to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement." Good for Rep. Stark.

The political brouhaha that has come up as a result of the Democrats S-CHIP public relations stunt using Graeme Frost of Baltimore, Md., reached the pages of The New York Times.

I'd never noticed that he was wearing one in the first place. But Obama chose to frame his decision to stop […]
Guess the political affiliation! The Ohio State Highway Patrol confirms they are looking into an incident which occurred in Norwalk Tuesday.
