Has anyone else taken a good hard look at how strange Barack Obama looks on the Bill O'Reilly interview?

When Joe Biden claimed at a Democratic debate last year that he had been “shot at” while visiting Baghdad’s Green Zone, the press didn’t bother to check it out, since Biden’s White House bid seemed unlikely to succeed. But now that he has been catapulted into contention by virtue of being selected as Barack Obama’s running mate, Biden and such bullet-dodging tales may be subjected to a level of scrutiny that tripped up Hillary Clinton when she falsely claimed to have come under sniper fire in Bosnia. And Republicans would have a litany of apparent inconsistencies and embellishments to pick...

I have a large bald area in the crown (top/back) with more hair in the front, but still thinning with a high hairline. I am concerned that a hair transplant in my case will show significant improvements in the front but I’ll still have a large bald spot on top/back. Here’s an example of my concern about hair transplantation - Sen. Joe Biden. He looks like he’s had a hair transplant (if you compare now to old photos) and looks pretty good in front. But when his head is tipped forward, the top and back are quite sparse compared to...

If Barack Obama is looking for an elder statesman with national security credentials as his running mate, my two cents say he should pick Sam Nunn. The conventional wisdom, though, has Obama leaning toward Joe Biden. If the senior senator from Delaware is indeed tapped, we can expect that mere milliseconds will elapse before some MSM outlet labels Biden a "moderate" or a "centrist." We thought it might be useful to do a little prophylactic exploration of the Biden record. Given his long tenure in the senate, he's earned literally hundreds of interest group ratings over the years. But here...

by Mark Finkelstein August 27, 2006 - 13:49 If once is an aberration, and twice a trend, what's three times? The first time Joe Biden told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace that he was "praying," it got my attention. By the third time - using the variant "I pray to God" - I was thoroughly curious. Then something happened at the end of the interview that might explain Joe's sudden bout of religiosity. By the way, Biden claimed to be 'praying' in response to various pieces of evidence that Wallace confronted him with suggesting that, at long last, the...

CAPITOL HILL (AP) Democratic Senators Joseph Biden of Delaware and Jack Reed of Rhode Island say the sectarian violence in Iraq is reaching a critical phase. Biden, who has visited Iraq seven times, says Baghdad is "a city in tatters." The ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee cites Sunday's killings of some 40 Sunni Arabs by Shiite gunmen "in broad daylight" as an indication of what he calls "a nascent civil war." Reed, just back from his eighth visit to Iraq, says the Iraqi leadership and U-S forces need to address the problems with the country's emerging government,...

(Associated Press Writer) WASHINGTON (AP) - The top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Wednesday that none of the Democratic presidential candidates has expressed a coherent foreign policy although it's early in the campaign. Sen. Joseph Biden, who once flirted with the idea of seeking the party's nomination, said the candidates have to ``demonstrate that they have a foreign policy, a security policy, that is coherent and is grown up, that we can handle the bad things out there in the world.'' ``If it's only 'I voted to go in (to Iraq)' or 'I thought we should've gone...

<p>"New York Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer, an outspoken advocate of campaign-finance reform, has been hit with one of the biggest fines ever imposed on a member of Congress by the Federal Election Commission — for violating campaign-finance laws," Byron York reports at National Review Online (www.nationalreview.com).</p>

COLONIE, N.Y. -- Sen. Charles Schumer on Monday advocated a "proactive" military posture, in which the U.S. strikes at perceived threats instead of waiting to respond to an actual attack. "For the first time in our history, sometimes we're going to have to strike first," Schumer said while addressing about 100 uniformed cadets at Christian Brothers Academy, a military school in suburban Albany. "When small groups of people can use technology to hurt us so badly here in our homeland, we can't wait," the New York Democrat said. He said it's a different world since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist...
