HERBERT (8/4/08): You guys have seen the ad a number of times, I am sure, and you have it here in-house. First thing you see are a couple of images of Britney Spears and […]

Robert Parry of Consortium News has generously agreed to let me republish his terrific article here. This is worth your time. The unwarranted and false attacks on Joe Wilson continue.

This is a simple question and a disturbing answer. If Barack would neglect his own family and tribe, what will he do to Americans he does not know?

Boy the fur is flying over Obama’s first trip to Europe and his refusal to visit wounded warriors because he could not get a political payoff.
