How many times will the President raise taxes after saying he wouldn’t? Hard to say with Retroactive Certainty.
As an aside, I don’t think that I made this clear before, my posts on Suicide Girls are available to non-members and I’m pretty sure appear free of any boobies. If JimC can take a walk […]

This doesn’t seem to have made a splash in the U.S. media yet, but a large number of international newspapers are reporting that a U.S. military intelligence photographer arrived on the scene of the Haditha massacre “moments after the shootings”. Those photographs unambiguously document that the marines of Kilo Company went on a murderous […]
CNN, like every other news organization, is reporting that two CBS employees were killed and one injured when the military convoy in which they were embedded was hit with an IED:
