WV Airline Threat Update And Speculation

Update: Well it seems the incident was nothing. The headline of this article still claims there were explosives while the body says the bottles contained nothing special.

The State Of The Democrats

Here is an extremely cogent, observant and in my opinion accurate assessment of the current political forces flowing through America, especially as they relate to Iraq and Lamont and the Dems: Still, the outcome at least focuses a bright light on a debate that is now taking place in the national Democratic Party, and which […]
