Young republican: Eliminate SS and Medicare to balance budget

Sarah Palin’s New Ad doesn't contain one single non-white person

This is a rare moment for me. Sarah, why can’t you be more like George W. Bush? His ads included all Americans, but hers included not one non-white person. Not one.

Ob-je463_pinupp_d_20100708184357
The party's racy calendar, which was first released during the campaign, is a sign of the times here.

George W. Bush Joins Facebook

Do you want to be George W. Bush’s friend? The 43rd President of the United States is now officially on Facebook, and while he has a page rather than a profile (so you can only “like” him rather than “friend” him), he has amassed over 80,000 fans since signing up yesterday morning. The Facebook page has only two wall posts as of today, but well over 5,000 comments between them.

The Souder scandal comes as Democratic leaders are under investigation by the House ethics panel for their handling of the case of Eric Massa, a New York Democrat who was driven from office after several male staffers accused him of sexual harassment. "We feel like we did the right thing [in the Massa case] but we're still being investigated," said one senior House Democratic aide, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. "We don't want to do a tit-for-tat. But the question is: What did Republicans know?"

Pikk a Side- Twitter or the Attorney General

A grand jury subpoena issued on May 6 ordered Twitter to disclose the identities of “casablancapa” and “bfbarbie,” two users who criticized the Pennsylvania attorney general, Tom Corbett... He said the subpoena was related to a criminal case concerning Brett Cott, a former political aide convicted in a political scandal known as Bonusgate. That long-running investigation concerns bonuses paid to legislative staff members and whether they were illegally related to political campaign work.

Will Senate Candidate Blumenthal Survive Vietnam Controversy?

Blumenthal was defiant Tuesday in responding to charges that he'd lied about being in the Vietnam War. The New York Times reported Monday on several comments he's made over the years, including this one from 2008: "We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam." After getting draft deferments for five years, Blumenthal became a member of the Marine Corps Reserve in 1970 and was stationed in the U.S. He never served overseas.
