Reading assignments for mid-term exams:
Please -- I'm begging you -- here are three reading assignments you just have to pay attention to. I'll provide the links!! Failure to read all three gives you a zero in your class work today in the VRWC Institute for Insensitivity Training, as required for graduation.
First: Perhaps you don't really understand what this whole Valerie Plame thing is about. Was she a covert CIA agent. No. Why was Joseph Wilson sent to Africa to search out the truth about Saddam's search for uranium? You might be surprised. Why did Judith Miller sit in the clink for 85 days? What story didn't she write? Cliff Kincaid writes on "The Untold Story: Joseph Wilson, Judith Miller and the CIA."
Second: I'm amazed every time I read a column by Victor Davis Hanson. This column, "2,000 Dead, In Context" is excellent. Hanson compares the statistics with many of America's other wars, and points out that presidents always take the blame, even when the conflict is unavoidable. I especially urge those of you who are steadfastly opposed to the action in Iraq to read this, as well as those of you who are just flat-out tired of the conflict.
Finally: This may be one of Peggy Noonan's best columns yet, and that's saying something since they are generally excellent. The subtitle for this one is "America is in trouble -- and our elites are merely resigned." When you read this column you will find that Peggy has put in writing some of the very feelings that have been flooding your thoughts for some time now. Face it, America has outlived its life expectancy. Alexander Tyler warned us that no country can survive once its citizens learn that they can use the ballot box to take the property of others.

Boot Boortz!
Still offering cutting edge cowardice, and in-depth analytical review, as well as the usual demonstration of your rocket-scientist's autograph-model brain, ehh??
I see!!
Keep up the good work!!
