Bush to the World: Peace This!

Surprise, Surprise. The White House won't engage in any diplomacy. If you don't realize by now that this administration ain't about talking then I have a nice bridge to sell you:

As they try to arrest the downward spiral in Iraq and Lebanon, President Bush and his top diplomats appear intent on their strategy of talking only to Arab friends, despite increasing calls inside and outside the administration for them to reach out to Iran and Syria as well.

How stupid do they think we are? The Justice Department is going to investigate itself to determine if it broke the law:

The Justice Department has begun an internal investigation into its handling of information gathered in the government's domestic spying program.

However, Democrats criticized the review as too narrow to determine whether the program violated federal law.

Maybe some good will come of the Kramer scandal. The so-called black leadership will now finally hold black performers accountable for using the N-word. For a long time its been common for rappers to use the black racial slur as if it term of familiarity. Now they realize that its hypocritical to condemn whites from the n-word but they themselves can use it without criticism. It was a long time in coming.
