Yes, my favorite Presidential candidate, I mean, my favorite Senator from New York, is once again holding Bush’s feet to the fire. And she just turned up the flames…
Excerpted from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s editorial in today’s WSJ:
In the past few years, the number of corporations flocking to places like the Cayman Islands to evade […]

1) Time magazine has an interesting take on the democratic veep stakes. If, as conventional wisdom says right now, Tim Kaine and Joe Biden are the most likely candidates, then these two men offer sharp contrasts.

The transcript from Meet the Press where Obama and Brokaw talk right before Obama started his trip back to the US is very interesting. At NQ, we’ve pointed out before that Obama isn’t verbally facile without a teleprompter, and that certainly came through here.

OK. My head is spinning. I can say the Obama Campaign could not get any more outrageous or preposterous, but I am sure I will be proven wrong.
Senator Obama, on his Rockapalooza tour of the Middle East and Europe, is now taking time out from photo ops and playing hoops (you know, while […]

The ignorance and stupidity displayed by both aspiring presidential candidates when it comes to devising a policy for Afghanistan is shocking. Apparently, McCain has adopted the “policy” of Barack. And what might that be. According to MyDD’s Todd Beeton:
I’m not entirely sure why the Obama campaign is not shouting from the highest […]

The McCain Campaign Says NY Times Refused to Print his Op-Ed Response to Barack Obama. Apparently, John McCain didn’t tell them what they wanted to hear so they decided not to print his response. In other words, Mr. McCain is to provide a timetable for leaving Iraq, no matter what—or else.
