Why isn’t this story the headline everywhere today?

Some progress may mean hope for Baghdad

Bomb deaths have gone down 30 percent in Baghdad since the U.S.-led security crackdown began a month ago. Execution-style slayings are down by nearly half. The once frequent sound of weapons has been reduced to episodic, and downtown shoppers have returned to outdoor markets — favored targets of car bombers.

There are signs of progress in the campaign to restore order in
Iraq, starting with its capital city.

Instead, everyone is talking about 8 ineffective lawyers who were rightly fired by the Justice Department.

What a world.

Via The Hill:

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) began the presidential race as a frontrunner with a well-known personal story and a unique style. But in recent weeks his past has provoked some potentially harmful early opposition stemming from those same qualities.

Is it possible that widespread support for McCain is just an illusion created by the MSM?

Yep.

According to The New York Observer, Rudy Giuliani has the GOP nomination sewn up. In fact, he’s so golden that he’ll flip some of those purple states to solid red and effectively deny the Democrats the electoral votes they’ll need to win the White House.

Let’s see, Rudy has advocated public funding for abortion. He’s weak on border control and that means he’s got a national defense problem. He points leftward on gun control and he’s partial to liberal judges.

Sewn up huh?

There’s a new recipe being served up at the JR Shin-Koiwa Station in Tokyo – Rat Curry.
