McCain wants to change DC, Obama wants to change America! [Note: I am going to bracket every post related to the 2008 Presidential election with the above tag line to remind everyone what this election is all about. If I fail to do so please remind me to update the posts!] Now I understand why […]

McCain wants to change DC, Obama wants to change America! It seems they have reopened one of the bombing murders by the Weather Underground group and the case points to Dohrn and Ayers. The unsolved murder of two San Francisco police officers has languished as cold cases for 30 years until now. A federal grand jury has been […]
