That's a small fraction of the rich who have enlisted. I'd challenge you to show where the rich even make up 1% of the enlistees.

Excuse me. I thought you were trying to suggest that the military is comprised exclusively of poor people or prisoners who have no…

Madverts, is there anything significant that distinguishes Obama from other Chicago polticians?

Other than he hasn't been under indictment yet?

As for Clinton's comment, it just exposes how hyper-sensitive leftists/liberals are to facts.

The US will benefit most if the embargo is dropped.

Really? And just how, exactly, would the US benefit? What does Cuba produce that would greatly improve Americans' lives if it could be exported to the US? Cigars? Or maybe Detroit would be propped up by Cuba's sudden…

He wants to have his cake and eat it too, or whatever the phrase goes like, playing both sides of the fence in an obvious misguided pandering attempt to all sides. Acts like he disagrees with Bush administration handling, yet claims military commanders need more time.

I disagree.…

GrouchyGaijin:

Speaking of endorsements, how come nobody hasn't freaked at John McCain's pastor, John Hagee,

As I noted yesterday, Hagee is not "McCain's pastor", and he has apologized for his anti-Catholic comments. Maybe "nobody hasn't freaked" because we're paying more attention than you are.

Speaking of apologies, when are…

GrouchyGaijin, considering your remarks about Israel and Jews on other threads as well as this one, I don't see how you have to room to comment on either Wright or Hagee.

And by the way, Hagee has done something Wright won't even consider: Apologizing for his remarks.

Also, Hagee is…

how crazy can you be to drive a car loaded with hydrogen on the highway?

How about driving a car loaded with gasoline? Or battery acid? Or use a flammable fluid to power the brakes or steering?

Oh wait, we already do...

Today in front of the U.S. embassy in Tokyo there are people imploring the U.S. to save the victims in Burma. It's heart breaking.

Of course, who else would they turn to?

But since the U.S. (as I'm constantly reminded) has a massive deficit (thanks largely to spending…
