In an attempt to out-triangulate Bush, apparently Ted Kennedy is putting forth legislation to accept "hundreds of thousands" of Iraqi refugees, skipping the vetting process and injecting them into the country as a way to provide safe harbor to folks devastated by our massive quagmire...

Sure America is a victim of terrorism, and we do business better than anyone else, by comparison, but there's something that really bothers a lot of people that we import all over the world... It's our entertainment, our culture, our movies, our music, our porn. Do you think this is a good thi...

Have you seen this story? Apparently our friend Chavez thinks that his country is moving towards socialism too slowly, and wants dictator style powers to solidify his rule. This is scary, considering how much gas they send our way.
