This post carries an offer for the religious conservatives. Those who consider themselves good Christians, the ones who talk incessantly about family values and the importance of virginity. The ones who go to Church every Sunday and incorporate Jesus into every nonsensical thought that comes out of their mouths. The wholesome, flag-waving American-born Christians.
For all [...]

The professional widow serves a particular role in American life. Generally these women were the wives of prominent political figures who were assassinated or came to some sort of tragic end. The group includes Ethel Kennedy, widow of Bobby Kennedy; Betty Shabazz, widow of Malcom X; and Coretta Scott King, widow of [...]

The contents of which we pretty much already know at this point (thus raising the question why we still have to listen to Obama), a whole bunch of people are protesting the expected surge. One group is Code Pink:

The current issue of Time Magazine has Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the cover, and an article by Joe Klein entitled, “The State of Hillary: A Mixed Record On The Job.” On Joe Scarborough the other morning, they discussed this article (major H/T to Bronwyn’s Harbor for the video):

Tonight kicks off the World Series. The Phillies meet the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, with the game starting at 7:57 (why do they pick such weird times?). The game will be broadcast on Fox (sadly – that means having to listen to Tim McCarver and Joe Buck go on and on. No [...]

First, let me apologize for the disheveled organization of this post, since I have a lot of incongruent pincer-like situations on my mind, but — nevertheless — I have been trying to stay up on the latest news coming out of Pakistan because, dammit, it’s so important and because most media aren’t covering it in [...]

“What Goes Around, Comes Around …”: First, the WSJ panel, aired every weekend, goes over the Pelosi mess. Then the panel gets into the bullying by the Obama administration of the state of California, ridiculing Obama for his, um, loose interpretation of the “rule of law.” It’s a great discussion:

If you find the title puzzling, I am referring to this from Steve Clemons post republished at NQ here:
One other interesting tidbit here in Qatar is that many Arabs who have moved in and around Pakistan believe that President Zardari is no longer “Mr 10%.”

The news that Lt. General Stanley McChrystal (three stars) the Special Forces veteran is replacing General David McKiernan (four stars) the AirLand veteran in Afghanistan is one warning light of what I learned from a variety of observers Sunday 10 — that the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan is not going well and [...]

So, what does Barack Obama do with the military commander running the show on the ground in Afghanistan who asks for 30,000 troops but is only provided 21,000 (courtesy of Barack of course)? You fire his ass and replace him with a hard charging officer with extensive experience in military [...]

Islamabad:
A young Pakistani woman has floated a group on a popular social networking website to say “no to Taliban” against the backdrop of an upsurge in activities by militants demanding the enforcement of Islamic law in the country.

___________________________________________
Quite a number of serious and informed observers predict a spike in mass casualty violence hitting this week in Pakistan. President Obama is about to have both collective and separate meetings with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari — and many believe that Taliban insurgents will [...]
