I wrote an article two months ago calling the President to task for his indecisiveness in responding to General McChrystal’s request for 40,000 reinforcements in Afghanistan.

Tiger Woods may be an icon of the golfing community, but that does not put him above criticism from certain people. While us mere mortals can get into our car at 2am and proceed to smack it into a fire hydrant and a tree no one cares. In fact a good friend of mine (alas […]
