Headline: Obama: Iran has legitimate nuclear aspirations
Headline: Air-raid sirens sound across Israel as drill reaches peak

Given the local and national media’s obsession with Rep. Michele Bachmann, watching her like a circus freak or that kid in second grade who ate worms, the Sixth District Congresswoman ought to charge two bits a gander. Then again, onlookers are rarely disappointed when Bachmann gets a head of steam on her comments.

Israel, alone

2008 November 5 by Gary M. Miller

We often forget the implications of our 4-year flirtation with Marxism for our closest friends overseas.
