A new plan by the Transportation Security Administration would allow airline passengers to bring scissors and other sharp objects in their carry-on bags because the items no longer pose the greatest [...]

The kind folks at GOPBloggers.org sent along this little ditty today. Have at it!
Pile On!
Kicking the dog whilst he is down.
Of all people, Judy Belushi Pisano, the widow of comic genius John Belushi, comes out of the woodwork to heap dirt on Bob Woodward. In fact, a lot of people who were involved with the book “Wired” get in on the game.
It’s unlikely that Woodward will realize an uptick in royalty [...]

A comment posted at Lucianne.
“Ask a dem: you want to get out but you think Bush WANTS us to stay, in large numbers, for years? He wants our troops to be on the front line indefinitely, wants our people picked off, wants a good bit of our national treasure spent to maintain a massive force that [...]

If Only…

He recently returned from a two-day visit to Iraq, and while nearly every Democrat in Congress has a string attached to their back that, when pulled, delivers the same finite list of criticisms concerning Iraq and the Bush administration’s plan to “stay the course”, Joe bucked the trend and shared [...]
Canada’s Liberal Government Falls
The 38th Parliament died tonight after a no-confidence vote from opposition parties. A federal election will be officially called by Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin tomorrow.
The most notable quote came from Conservative Stephen Harper, who didn’t mince words.
“My friends, over the last few days the Liberals have made it clear that their biggest issue is [...]
Another One Bites The Dust
Duke’d out, as a matter of fact.
Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy and tax charges and tearfully resigned from office, admitting he took $2.4 million in bribes to steer defense contracts to conspirators.
