That’s the going price for premium gasoline (93 octane) in these parts (Bethesda, MD). Back when I advocated the use of a heavy gasoline tax three years ago, I had $4-5 per gallon in mind, but I envisioned about $2 of that to be the actual tax itself.
What we’ve got now is a puny 14 [...]

I’ve been against the war in Iraq from the start. After we went in, I thought we ought to stay in there and clean up our mess, that we couldn’t leave the country the way it was — in shambles. But now, things are so bad, for everyone around, that I have no clue what [...]

This is completely irresponsible behavior in view of the financial and human reality. They can window-dress things all [...]
» Go to this postThe US Military has released a video of the terrorist al-Zarqawi, with outtakes showing his poor weapons-handling skills.

I’ve been hearing a lot about the abuse of the prisoners in Iraq by American troops, and I wasn’t sure what to think of it. Did it happen because these troops weren’t trained properly? Or perhaps because they were frustrated, worn out? Was it because they couldn’t take it anymore themselves? Was it because they [...]
» Go to this postNine Americans were killed today in Iraq. Four of the bodies were burned. Two were hung from a bridge while people danced underneath. One was dragged through the streets, tied to the bumper of a car. The other burned corpse was beaten repeatedly with a metal rod by one Iraqi. Are these the people we [...]
