Ron Paul is advocating issuing Letters of Marque to private ships to allow them to fight the piracy near Somalia. Forgive me if I misunderstand his proposal, but letters of Marque are traditionally legal permission to a nations shipping fleets to attack, destroy and seize the ships belonging to another nation. This permission would lead to professionalizing known as privateering. Famous examples of privateering would include Henry Morgan of Captain Morgan spiced rum branding fame or Francis Drake.

I heard 'Boss-Limbaugh' talking up this idea and he told his audience to "Think Blackwater."

In an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Obama's response to a question included the phrase "My Muslim faith."

Basically, Stephanopoulos asked if Obama should be considered somewhat responsible for false attacks on Palin, and Obama responded by saying he never held McCain responsible for attacks on his Muslim faith. Obviously he wasn't admitting he was a Muslim.

But it doesn't matter, because all the right will obtusely focus on are these eleven seconds:

Enough is enough.

CNN is apparently willing to go to any length to perpetuate this so called 'Democrats Divided' farce. Forget what Hillary said last night, CNN has now have hired a body language 'expert' to tell us what she really meant. What's next, a psychic to tell us what she was actually was thinking?

It's enough to make me puke.

As we all know, nobody in the Democratic leadership is making a public call for impeachment. We've all heard Nancy Pelosi say those words, "Impeachment is off the table." It is my opinion that our leadership is acting wisely in this case. While we, the netroots, should be calling for impeachment at every turn, for the Democratic leadership to do so would be premature.

I know most everyone saw this coming, why else would he be leaving his radio show?

However, as far as I know this is the first time I have seen it confirmed by the main stream media as more than a rumor.

I apologize if this has already been blooged.
