Fred Thompson was superb last night on Fox News in responding to Sean Hannity's very legitimate questions about Obama, his politics, electability, and overall qualifications as President, Commander In Chief. NOTE: Barack Obama's refusal to appear on Fox News despite repeated requests, invitations from Fox News seems as if it might finally come to an end as he is currently scheduled to appear on Fox News Sunday.

A left-wing activist was hit by a rubber bullet at an anti-separation fence protest in Bil'in on Friday, sustaining moderate-to-serious head wounds. He was evacuated to Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer for treatment. A number of activists threw rocks at security forces during the demonstration.

Less than a decade ago, Mr. Bush fought that exact part of the Voting Rights Act, with his appointed secretary of state, Antonio O. Garza Jr., calling the provisions a burdensome and unnecessary federal intrusion into Texas' affairs. "The Bush administration has really done a flip-flop on this," said Edward Blum, a senior fellow at the Center for Equal Opportunity who has studied Texas voting and the Voting Rights Act.

He was 94. McTernan died March 28 in his sleep at his Santa Monica home, his family told the Los Angeles Times.

The Christian Conservative takeover of our nation. The missing 9 billion. The missing weapons of mass destruction. The impending invasion of Iran, and Syria. The total failure to protect us on 9-11.

Let's get real. On Fox So-Called News, former Army Sgt. Tony Robinson was allowed to claim without contradiction that what happened at the prison at Abu Ghraib was no worse than "fraternity hazing." Rush Limbaugh concurs. Let me speak up on behalf of the Kappa Sigs, KAs and even Dekes (where only "minor" branding incidents occurred when George W. Bush was the head Deke at Yale).
