Happy Monday! Iranian President Ahmadinejad has said the "countdown" button to Israel's destruction has been pushed. This kind of rhetoric should not be tolerated by the international community. Just remember this if (when) Israel strikes to take out Iran's nuclear capacity and liberals worldwide howl in disapproval. Read the story here.
Bill Clinton said recently that the economy during the Bush adminisration has been great for rich people. Is this a bad thing? I don't think that it ever occurred to Clinton that what is good for the rich might be good for everyone else. I hope the economy is good for me when I am rich. Read Clinton's comments here.
Read this criticism of Christopher Hitchens's new book God is not Great. What makes this criticism worth reading is that it is written by his brother Peter. While not the best criticism out there, it is worth the read because the Hitchens brothers are some of the most popular and widely read in the UK.
The quote from Al Gore: "Only an insignificant fraction of scientists deny the global warming crisis. The time for debate is over. The science is settled." What makes this quote interesting is that Gore made it is 1992, when the majority of climate scientists did not believe in global warming. Read this story highlighting some high-profile global warming skeptics.
Also, read this article by George Will arguing that the public may prefer competency over ideology in '08. This would explain why Hilary is so far fending off Obama and why Giuliani is outpacing more conservative candidates for the GOP nomination.
Finally, read this piece by Frank Pastore explaining why he, as a Christian, cannot vote for Mitt Romney. Needless to say, if you have read the New Right you know that I disagree with this position. If we can only vote for candidates who are model Christians, we won't be casting many ballots.

Let's not forget the little tyrant 'Putin' to the north of Iran, who ultimately provides a hand of approval to the fanatics in the middle east and despises western superiority. He has raised the rhetoric recently regarding anti-U.S. policies. Their meddling in former USSR block countries is great, especially the largest, Ukraine. Russia is scheduled to lose their naval base in the the Ukraine later this year. Putin is scheduled to visit the U.S. soon. President Bush should send a message with this visit (no Ranch visit, or cancel it altogether).
Bill Clinton was never an economics major. He is self-obsessed. By the way, he is scheduled to speak this summer here. I don't remember exactly the headlines in the Star and Sickle ad for it yesterday, but basically, you'd think the greatest all-knowing person was going to grace our state. It should have listed what he really is - 'Come see a has-been Immoral 'coward' FORMER leader who highly disgraced our great country'.
