This is a good day for Mr. Guangcheng, and a good day for liberty. BUT . . . Obama's re-election machine now has an interesting story to tell. Elian Gonzalez's mother died getting him to American soil. He was actually on American soil, and we sent him back to Red Cuba. But this admisinistration not only welcomed a freedom activist to the land of the free, they managed to extract him from Red China to do it. You can bet we'll be hearing them repeat this in September and October. Be ready for it.,

Quite correct, Mr. Jacoby - two parties are enough to make any mature body politic run smoothly. If we could establish a conservative party to oppose the Demo-Publican consortium, we might actually see a serious effort to roll back the nanny state.

Hmm . . . did I smear on the sarcasm too thick?

Representative Warren is a wise, farsighted woman positioning herself for the day when English-speaking Caucasians will be a minority in the USA. Really, can anyone blame her?

Prime minister, actually - but still, point well said.

A president supporting gay marriage? Bah. Small potatos. Let's go all the way with this process. ANNISE PARKER FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Are the stamina boosting capsules colored green, by any chance?

The first thing to ask when considering this or that person as a potential VP pick is whether it would be in the interest of that person to hitch his wagon to Mitt Romney's 2012 star. The VP slot is by invitation, not conscription, and self-interest will surely be a part of any invitee's thinking.

This is the act of a wise, far-sighted woman preparing for the day when English-speaking Caucasians will be, in fact, a minority.
