(Bumped up from Friday night.)
“[R]ecognizing the last full measure of devotion from these soldiers is the right thing for a President to do,” writes Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey. Curiously, like most pundits, Morrissey believes Obama’s trip to Dover was about a nod to the military in Afghanistan and to Gen. McChrystal.

Fox News — especially commentator and columnist Charles Krauthammer — and a few other media outlets have pointed out that doctors cannot make ends meet if their patients are primarily on Medicare or Medicaid.

Careless or Uncaring? »

A token is a token. Especially for a token leader. However, it IS the American flag. And at the least it should be straight:

Damn straight.

A 9/11 Mother Gets No Response From Obama »

By Bronwyn's Harbor on Oct 20, 2009 in Current Affairs | 28 Comments

It is profoundly sad and incredibly infuriating that Obama’s White House does not have the decency to reply to this 72-year-old mother whose son died on September 11, 2001:

Why Is the White House Targeting Fox News? »

By Bronwyn's Harbor on Oct 14, 2009 in Current Affairs | 93 Comments
