In The Bullpen (Chad Evans) England Rounds up More Suspects — “England rounded up 14 more terrorism suspects in an overnight raid at a Chinese restaurant. Apparently hirabahs dine at Chinese food establishments. Hey, who would have guessed a true to form Islamist would eat anything that might fund a non-Islamic individual or company [/sarcasm]?”
Flopping Aces (Curt) The Booming Economy — “Just in time for Labor Day comes a bevy of good news about our economy and the usual groans and moans from the left. For example, this report by The Democratic Strategist that states the problem with Democrats is that they are too pessimistic:”
Blue Crab Boulevard Mexico In Turmoil — “Leftist legislator supporters of leftist loser Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador blocked President Vicente Fox of Mexico from delivering his last state of the nation speech by storming the stage. Mexico is in a bad way right now.”

I intend to focus, to the greatest extent possible, on criticizing incumbents who voted for McCain-Feingold and supporting those who opposed it.”
