Swift Boat Revenge?

Ex-Secretary of Navy in the Reagan Administration, James Webb wrote an op-ed in the NY Times, saying:

The political tactic of playing up the soldiers on the battlefield while tearing down the reputations of veterans who oppose them could eventually cost the Republicans dearly. It may be one reason that a preponderance of the Iraq war veterans who thus far have decided to run for office are doing so as Democrats.

Priorities.

From the Institute of Southern Studies:

Number of tax cuts passed in 2001 that go into effect this year: 2

Percent of the benefits of these cuts that will go to people making over $200,000 a year: 97

Amount those individuals will gain from the cuts over the next five years: $27 billion

Cost of Katrina relief package signed by President Bush in December: $29 billion

Amount of that total that was a re-allocation of money already appropriated: $17.5 billion

Total cost of the Iraq war, according to a recent academic study: up to $2 trillion

Reality Bites.

Morton Kondracke on RollCall.com (subscription only):

"...reality: There are 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., and it would be far more efficient to concentrate law enforcement resources on finding and expelling criminals among them than trying to corral them all."
