McCain’s Operation Fail: Yet another bad idea from the Republican candidate.
Read McCain’s Crime Fighting Plan should be called Operation FAIL. »
Add Comment Sen. Barack Obama’s big speech on Iraq tomorrow is a big gamble when there’s no reason to be speaking on anything other than the economy.
Media moguls are billing Obama’s talk as a speech as important as his eloquent race relations peroration in Philadelphia. Following the speech, he’ll have a FULL HOUR interview on the subject. [...]

Did you catch Countdown last night?
Clear blue skies in New York City today, about the first time we’ve seen the atmosphere in about two weeks, makes it especially easy to see through what many experts have been hawking as “news” lately.
