Great link to what the Middle East war is all about

What Really Happened in the Middle East?

A review of the situation in Israel. Very nicely done, with pictures (hey, that's important to me!)

Interesting, when the Iowa Democratic machine is lecturing on Conservatism

Terry Branstad is running for a second set of term as Iowa's governor. He left us with a surplus, money in the bank, and a pretty good set of economic circumstance. Although judging by recent ads, you would think he was Obama or a far lefty. Iowans for Responsible Government is running TV and print ads against the former governor, bleating about his lefty record (complete BS, in my opinion, as they are spinning positions he holds to their advantage).

Seems that the caretaker of the group is one Rob Tully, former Iowa Democratic Party chairman (source : RadioIowa). Let me get this straight, Iowa Democrats lecturing the last successful governor on his conservatism. Yeah, let me know how that works out for you.

I know many libs, being from a college town.  And a lot of them are voting Branstad, just because of his fiscal record.  Great job, Chester Culver! You have alienated your base!

Meeting the President

One sunny day in late January 2013 an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama."

The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer president and no longer resides here."

The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.

The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama."

The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is no longer president and no longer resides here."

The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.

The third day, the same man once again approached the White House and spoke to the same U.S. Marine, saying, "I would like to go in and meet with President Obama."

The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have come here asking to speak to Mr. Obama. I've told you already that Mr. Obama is no longer the president and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?"

The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."

The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow, sir."
