… You’ll fall for anything.  And so it goes in the political arena today with the liberal end of the spectrum pontificating with pie-in-the-sky ideals on poverty, abortion, transfers of wealth, taxing only the rich and other “inartful” dodges of truth!  The wife of the presumptive Democrat nominee Michelle Obama asks today’s college students to [...]

 
Earlier General Wesley Clark, retired and former candidate for President made some remarks about who might be qualified for president.  Of course, everybody knows that Clark was being a surrogate for Obama and Obama’s attempts to lessen the allure of John McCain’s military service since Obama has none.  But Clark seems to have stepped over [...]
