Karl Rove has a word or two about the recent Al Gore bubble. “You know you got a problem if the answer is Al Gore.” The comments are quite instructive as well. A lot of whistling past the graveyard. H/T Irish Trojan in Tennessee via Instapundit Cross Posted at Power and Control

JD Johannes is asking for help. He has produced a pro Victory in Iraq movie and needs to sell 2,900 CDs of his movie in six weeks to give Hollywood a wake up call. People often complain about Hollywood’s leftward tilt when it comes to Iraq, but few do anything pro-active about it. I am…

Here is something interesting Howard Dean, head of the Democrat Party, had to say a while back. “The real issue is this, Who would you rather have in charge of the defense of the United States of America, a group of people who never served a day overseas in their life, or a guy who…

What are we waiting for, assembled in the forum? The barbarians are to arrive today. Why such inaction in the Senate? Why do the Senators sit and pass no laws?
