Via See-Dubya at Michelle Malkin’s blog, with an assist from Gasbuddy:

Apparently Nancy is finally starting to feel the heat.  So, she came up with the ultimate solution her feable mind could produce:

July 8, 2008
The Honorable George W. Bush
The President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500 [...]

A big storm blew into Myanmar last week.  An even bigger storm is brewing.  So far, 62,000 people are either dead or missing.  Nearly 1,000,000 are homeless.  The United Nations, along with the United States, rushed to provide food for the homeless.  The Myanmar ruling junta confiscated it.
Now, this is where I get pissy.  The [...]

Hugo Chavez has cozied up to FARC for a long time.  Now, he’s threatening to go to war with Colombia for raiding into Ecuador to take out a FARC leader.  In the process, Chavez is, of course, blaming it all on the US because the US has helped Colombia deal with FARC as best we [...]

The amazing thing about this one so far is it seems only my buds in at Independent Sources seem to have noticed:
Quoting Barack:
“In Youngstown, Ohio, I talked to workers who have seen their plants shipped overseas as a consequence of bad trade deals like NAFTA, literally seeing equipment unbolted from the floors of factories and [...]

In the face of record high profits, and expenses, for oil, Nancy Pelosi has just the plan to ease our pain.
Add some taxes to the cost.
Democrats in Congress are relying on record oil prices and a surge in gasoline costs to make another attempt at imposing $18 billion in new taxes on the largest oil [...]

Wow.  I sure didn’t expect to wake up to this.  My entire life, plus some, the US has been more than willing to kill, cripple, mame, or otherwise incapacitate Castro.  During the Cold War he was a thorn in the US side, and he relished that role.  Over the years other despots looked to Castro [...]

I am reading right now that Benazir Bhutto died in the suicide attack on her rally.
This is awful news.
I have heard a lot of speculation that Al Qaeda has focused on Pakistan since it’s getting its butt kicked in Iraq and Afghanistan.   That makes sense.  What doesn’t make sense there is attacking Bhutto.  Musharraf is [...]

This clip on Memritv to me perfectly illustrates the difference in cultures of “the evil Satan” of the West and “the religion of Peace” of the Middle East:
Saudi Cleric Muhammad Al-’Arifi Explains Wife Beating in Islam to Young Muslims in a Ramadhan Show
That’s just nuts by my standard.  If I could ask Al-Arifi one question, [...]

When the Democrats were in the minority, they badgered Bush to death as being a shoot from the hip cowboy ready to take aim at anyone that he had an issue with.  The difference now it seems is the Democrats are pretty much in the same boat, except there’s no logic to who they’re shooting [...]
