This is a really bad news day for the far left--wouldn't you say!
Poll sees a boost for Bush, Iraq war WASHINGTON — In the wake of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's death, President Bush is seeing improvement in public confidence that the Iraq war is winnable, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll shows.
The new poll found that 48% believe the United States probably or definitely will win the war, up from 39% in April. It also found that 47% believe things are going well in Iraq, up from 38% in March.
Looks like the far left has been bad and they will not be getting there Fitzmas present. Wasn't/isn't this whole thing a waste of time, but at least Plame and husband are getting rich!

This should be good news for all Americans, but somehow I expect someone somewhere to have a problem with it.
Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi Killed in Air Raid Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al-Qaida's leader in Iraq who led a bloody campaign of suicide bombings and kidnappings, has been killed in an air strike, U.S. and Iraqi officials said Thursday, adding that his identity was confirmed by fingerprints and a look at his face. It was a major victory in the U.S.-led war in Iraq and the broader war on terror.

Only eight days ago we celebrated Memorial day--in a effort to help us remember let's remember
D-day!
Destroy the data on your hard drives yourself--if you know me call me, but don't depend on someone else!
Best Buy in data recovery scandal BEST BUY, which promises to destroy hard-drives when punters trade them in, has been accused of selling them on, complete with personal data.
Henry and Roma Gerbus, who traded in their hard-drive at the Best Buy branch in Springfield Township, were told that the old hard drive would be destroyed.
Gerbus said that staff at the store said that the hard-drive would have holes drilled into it so that it became useless. However, a month ago, Gerbus got a call from a bloke in Chicago who said he had just bought a hard drive for $25 in a flea market.
The drive had the couple's personal information, including Social Security numbers, bank statements and investment records.

Harry Reid accepts tickets to boxing matches while pressing legislation to for the creation of a federal boxing commission. While he doesn't see see any harm, democratic blinders I suppose, he does admit "
I'm not 'goody-two-shoes".
Reid sat ringside in Vegas for freeSenate Minority Leader Harry Reid accepted free ringside tickets from the Nevada Athletic Commission to three professional boxing matches while that state agency was trying to influence him on federal regulation of boxing.
Mr. Reid, Nevada Democrat, took the free seats for Las Vegas fights from 2003 to 2005 as he was pressing legislation to increase government oversight of the sport, including the creation of a federal boxing commission that Nevada's agency feared might usurp its authority.
Mr. Reid, who has accused the Republicans of fostering a culture of corruption, defended the gifts, saying they would never influence his position on the bill and was simply trying to learn how his legislation might affect an important home-state industry.

Let us not forget!
The media may be slow, but sometimes I guess they get it... The Jefferson case can be bad for democrats and at the very least destroy their attempts to paint all republicans as corrupt -- that is if the republican leadership can get their act together and...
Jefferson case may hurt his party A host of Louisiana politicians - former governor Edwin Edwards, most famously - have been caught in local kickback schemes. This case alleges overseas deals and bribery of foreign officials, however. Not only could it be bad for Louisiana, but also for Democrats nationally, who are trying to win mid-term elections by painting Republicans as corrupt. This week, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi asked Jefferson to give up his seat on the powerful Ways and Means Committee. He refused.

They may think they are
above the law, but they are not! These individuals appear to be standing up to these politicians and the political pressures -- I hope the trend continues!
Nation & World: Justice reportedly defiant over raid WASHINGTON — The Justice Department signaled to the White House this week that the nation's top three law-enforcement officials would resign or face firing rather than return documents seized from a Democratic congressman's office in a bribery investigation, administration sources familiar with the discussions said.

Though gas prices are higher and despite the gloom and doom from the media and predictions of a necessity to change our habits -- evidence that is a crock! Will these guys ever get a clue and actually learn what Americans think instead trying to sway American's opinions?
Gas costs don't slow Memorial Day travelA gallon of regular gas may cost 86 cents more this year than last year, but tourism officials expect just as much traffic -- in some instances, more -- as last year as drivers flock to area beaches to kick off the unofficial start of summer.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Floridians support lifting a ban on oil drilling 100 miles or more from the state's Gulf Coast beaches by a 51 to 42 percent majority, and many say rising gasoline prices have influenced their approval, a poll released Thursday showed.
Such support stunned environmentalists...

...above the law! Shame on all them -- any congressman, Republican, Democrat, or Independent who breaks the law should be brought to justice. Since we know politicians will protect their own -- look at this situation -- who else will hold them accountable. Their (politicians) desire to be 'above the law' is equivalent to blinders-blinding Republicans of an opportunity to once and for all squash this "culture of corruption" BULL! Well, maybe not BULL -- the bi-partisan circling of the wagons on this issue may indicate a "culture of corruption"; however, not a Republican thing or Democratic thing, but a HOUSE thing!
House leaders demand FBI return papers "The Justice Department must immediately return the papers it unconstitutionally seized," Dennis Hastert, the speaker of the House, and Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leader, said in a statement. They also said that the congressman, William Jefferson, a Democrat from Louisiana, should cooperate with the investigation.
There was a warrant not to mention evidence ($90,000.00 worth) -- wasn't a warrant all that was required in their (poloticians) last argument?
The search warrant, signed by Judge Thomas Hogan of U.S. District Court, was based on an affidavit that agents had found $90,000 in cash in a freezer at Jefferson's home. White House officials said they did not learn of the search until after it had been carried out.
