The seven senators who voted against defunding ACORN

Ethel C. Fenig "Now who were those seven senators who were apparently unfazed by ACORN's bland unconcern of providing mortgage money to a supposed prostitute and her pimp, even counseling them on evading taxes? (Nine senators did not vote.)"

Immigration raids yield jobs for legal workers

USA Today "But the raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents did not cripple the company or the plants. In fact, they were back up and running at full staff within months by replacing those removed with a significant number of native-born Americans, according to a report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS)."

Score one for the good guys

Rick Moran "Scratch one really bad guy - even if some believe he was just a misunderstood crusader for justice who never would have turned to terrorism if we had only given him what he wanted while showering his homeland with economic aid to get at the "root causes" of terrorism. Methinks Nabhan will now simply be a "root cause" of daisies growing where he fell." Well done, Obama.

Media Myth: GOP Has No Health Care Ideas

We already have our moral directive. And, at the risk of contradicting our president, we have our incentive, too: the patient."

MORE FALLOUT FROM JOE WILSON'S 'YOU LIE' MOMENT

Neal Boortz "Would somebody please have Chairman Danny Bakewell explain to me what was "racist" about Joe Wilson's outburst of "you lie"? I agree that is was disrespectful. But racist? That is one of the most overused words in the English language. When you hear someone yell "racist" you know you are listening to a limited intellect on a temper tantrumThe only reason his outburst is "racist" is because too many people are walking around this country with racial chips on their shoulder."

No we can't? UK think tank says US power is fading

Yahoo News "The think tank's report said Obama could help restore the United States' standing by working with other nations to contain emerging threats to its position as the world's pre-eminent power. Controlling the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea would require help from regional allies, the report said.
