Hillary Clinton often gives the example of her Bosnia trip twelve years ago as evidence of her experience. While First Lady she reports flying into Bosnia and arriving under sniper fire in the airplane and then being rushed into vehicles to carry her away from the airstrip.

On Easter Sunday, six protesters of the Iraq war decided to stage their protest at Holy Name parish during Catholic Mass. Their tactic? Squirt fake stage blood on themselves and nearby worshipers during Mass. Despite their male and female membership, they referred to themselves as Catholic Schoolgirls Against the War.

When I was in sixth grade, I specifically remember reading in my science book about global cooling and the coming Ice Age. Some things change and some others never do. One thing that changes on a regular basis is science. When I started medical school, I was told that more than half [...]

Bill Richardson, former Democratic Presidential candidate, formally endorsed Barack Obama for President today. This actually came as somewhat of a surprise to me as Clinton and Richardson have been very close for a long time.

As reported by the AP, bin Laden just released a five minute long audio message specifically dealing with the topic of….(drumroll)….cartoons.

Beware of buyer’s remorse.
Many Democrats around the country are beginning to wake up to the fact that Barack Obama is not a Messiah or a Superman. In fact, he may not even be a good candidate at all. Obamamania and Obamapalooza are now over. After the mainstream media in this country [...]
