Someone should ask Newt this question...

"Congressman, can you explain this John Edwards thing for me? Why is it, that if a man has an affair, then divorces his wife and marries someone else, this is perfectly OK in American politics. He can be thought highly of and elected over and over.

But when a man has an affair, and stays with his wife, he's considered not electable?

As you know, I'm referring to John McCain and yourself as examples of the former situation, and I'm referring to John Edwards and President Clinton as examples of the later. You yourself sir, even had some harsh things to say about Clinton.

This just doesn't seem logical to me. Can you explain this?"

The Surge has not worked.

I think it essential that we start talking about how the surge HAS NOT WORKED. But we need to avoid arguments that are complicated and long.

If a city has a high crime rate, a surge of cops onto every street corner will cause crime to plummet. Does this mean that the surge fixed the crime problem? Of course not and the same is true in Iraq.

I think it's pretty clear that the recent fall in the price of oil on the world market has to do with the fact the the Bush Administration opened talks with the Iranians. This caused a softening in tensions in that part of the world. And to anyone who knows how the price of oil works, the softening of tensions in a major oil producing nation is a core issue among speculators.

I'm not sure the Obama Drop is the best phrase to use for this. But I do think it would be wise to come up with a phrase. And maybe we could use that phrase even more once (and if) the price of oil dropping gets seen at the gas pump. Wouldn't it be great if the MSM starting picking up on that phrase too?

Are there any Madison Ave types out there that could come up with a phrase for this?

Quite a week for Obama. He precipitates one of the biggest drops in the price of oil in history, and he shows the world a wise opening to end the American presence in Iraq, that gets the support of the leader of Iraq.

Wow!

Barack and Obama are misspelled in my browser.

Firefox offers a built in spell checker for emails. As I write words, misspelled words are underlined. It even happens as I write this for Daily Kos, which tells me I spelled Kos wrong.

Well, as I'm writing to my sisters and friends about the remarkable speech I just witnessed by Michelle Obama earlier tonight in Warwick RI, I noted that the program is telling me that I spelled Obama and Barack incorrectly.

It seems to me that a major point is being missed on Bush's speech last night.

There are not enough anti-emetics in the world to get me to watch a Shrub speech anymore, so I rely on reports of what he said. It has been reported that he said that the USA's committment to this war in Iraq is not open ended. Doesn't this mean that if Iraq does not get their act together, the USA will pull out?

A few days ago I posted that I thought the rumors about the death of Osama Bin Laden was actually a story leaked by the Republican party. Their goal was to goad Osama into making another video tape to prove that he was alive.
