it’s interesting how Blagojevich seems so unaffected by all the chaos swirling around him; it’s as if he feels right at home…

All should see clearly that Israel is not acting merely in self-defense; on the contrary, it is shrewdly going after Hamas as part of a strategic plan. It has scrapped any pretense of Democratic principles now.

No, the occupation ended in 2005. Israel has the right to protect itself after Hamas continued firing thousands of rockets even after their truce ended.

Comment on U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey recused himself from the Bernard Madoff prosecution so that his son, Marc Mukasey, can represent a close employee of Mr. Madoff by Paul

I did not realize the inherent family conflict. How could one appoint an Attorney General who son’s business revolves around “White-collar Federal Criminal defendants? Isn’t that the group of people the Department of Justice prosecutes? Could Nelson DeMille be scripting this story line? It is just another matter that smarter people than I will need to sort out.

Comment on Unpopular conservative prime minister is more interested in salvaging his political career than helping working class Canadians as they lose their jobs and financial security by thenonconformer

“For the Conservatives, the most damage in the past week seems to have come from the province of Quebec, where a plurality believe Mr. Harper should resign as leader of the party and a majority blame the Conservatives more than anyone else for the parliamentary crisis.” Dumb Harper was foolish enough to attack the coalition government blame on Quebcers and he is now continuing to pay the price for it. He Harper cannot win without the support of Quebec, east.. nor can the Liberals

Steven Harper has shut down parliament. Some say this is unprecedented.

In fact, Harper is following parliamentary tradition.

Consider the following precedents:

1629 King Charles I in England
1799 Napoleon in France
1913: Victoriano Huerta in Mexico
1933: Adolf Hitler in Germany
1936 Francisco Franco in Spain
1939: Benito Mussolini in Italy
1973: Augusto Pinochet in Chile
2008: Steven Harper in Canada

Comment on Barack Obama states during his campaign for president that the United States is “in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression” by jamesedyrn

Your critique of the Democrats appeared to have some merit until you stooped to name calling. Ms. Pelosi can not help the fact that her looks abandoned her with age. I do agree that Franklin Raines, Fannie Mae’s former CEO, and many others should have been prosecuted, convicted and put in prison.
