Also, Mumbai citizens and their families where able to get on-the-spot updates concerning safety concerns and assurances through →
Global Terror and Common Decency
This cover pisses me off. The TERRORIST is 21 years old. As far as I am concerned that is an adult. I am 21 years old. I am completely responsible for my actions and can decide what I believe in. To highlight the "brainwashing" nature of Islamofascists after such devistating events is disgraceful.The Times of India has declared "War". →
Of Terrorists, Bush, Turkey, and Shopping
Killers really need to stop it already. I do not understand why someone would want to kill someone else. The president is getting off of Marine One to address the nation/world about the attacks on India. He recently stated, "I'd like to be a president (known) as somebody who liberated 50 million people and helped achieve peace." I really →

Steele for RNC Chair!
I was torn between who I wanted as RNC Chairman, Steele or Gingrich. Gingrich is the man behind the Contract with America, something that the US really needs (plus 2010 is practically, '94). However, I LOVE Michael Steele.Both really have a vision for what the Republican party is and what it should be. Both are very grassroots experiences considering their →

From the Live Election Blog
8:51 ok so I am probably wrong about the 60 dens in the Senate but 58 is a 60 if you count the indies.9:30 B.O. was boring. I expected more9:33 he is historic in his election and really didn't capitalize on it. It is probably because he is "post-racial".10:12 so if OR Sen. Smith loses (he is currently behind) and →

ABC News

Although the polls have yet to close on the west coast (let alone those non-continental states), this post is not really premature. Obama will reign in victory tonight. His best friend tonight is the "Financial Crisis". If the crash would have been delayed a few weeks, McCain would probably have had a chance because more people would have notice Obama's →
