Just how do you get this wrong? He's dead and then he's not, then maybe. Now don't know, because the body is in a hot house fire and no comfirmation is possible without a DNA test-it may be tough with the intensity of the fire.

It's hard not to believe a politician when they're doing their best earnest and emphatic but, on the other hand, there's the adage about "when his lips are moving". Good lord, what would they have done with any allegations of an old white conservative doing donor junkets to a foreign count...

Since I dabble in stock and DW's past employer is a supplier to Boeing and GE, I doubt that Boeing would have or even could have, self-ground the 787, until a major disaster. JAL as revealed that it had swapped out 10 batteries in its 787 Fleet, prior to the grounding. For Boeing, its shareholders, sup...

Senate Hearing on Benghzai/Sec. H Clinton. Is McCain doing his Party good? or trying to help Hillary for 2016? R Congress is in the dumps for favorability.

Nothing is worth watching on TV. Sec of State H Clinton wasn't on CSPAN or I may have missed broadcast. Why is it that we still have sexual predations in the military?

Personally, I think Pelosi mangled that, and really meant to say "... you could find out just how bad it really is!" Either way, I suspect they didn't catch the mutter at the end: "After the election, if we're lucky." No link to the full WSJ piece at the moment but here's a few parag...

PBO drew the line as has the Republican House majority. IMO, The House has lost again. Their argument is good but not persuasive.
