Gates of Vienna: Swedish Newspapers Stand Firm

You don't have to be sorry when you are right. I think that it was a mistake in the last round of this violence that the Danish government came out and said that it was sorry. Freedom of speech means living in a creative, open, and sometimes harsh world where you cannot control what people say about you. The west should not apologise to the east for sticking to its values.

Saddam’s Cousin, 'Chemical Ali' Gets Death Sentence Air America Radio

I hope this doesn't turn into the same kind of circus that the Saddam hanging did. It is understandable that these people are hated, but acting in an unprofessional manner reflects more on who the executioners are than the executed.

Daily Kos: Richardson strikes back

Reminds me of what they say, it is better to be quiet and allow others to think you are a fool, than to open your mouth and show them you are. Hey Richardson, bloggers are voters, and people who read blogs are voters too.

THUR
Disgraced Dem donor arrested in Colorado - Yahoo! News

Guess he is going to be sitting in jail until his trial now. It was stupid to run, the least he could have done was flee the country.

News Hounds: Best evidence yet that Democrats were correct to decline FOX-hosted debates

So the Democrats didn't go to the Fox Debate because they couldn't deal with tough questions? They couldn't deal with being pushed a little in their questions. This may be an example of what some of the questions would have been like, but it is still a cheap excuse to not do the debate.

Nebraska's Chuck Hagel retiring from Senate, not running for Pres. - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

In this race every time someone declares that they are not going to run, I think everyone sighs a great sigh of relief. Do we really need more candidates, more poor choices? In fact, just to let everyone feel better I am going to announce, I am not running for President... this time.
