Two Righteous Men

Joe Biden has a very strong opinion on what should happen to a president who attacks another country that poses no imminent threat to us, or hasn't attacked us first. Take a look:

So I wonder how he feels today about this directive, which Chris Matthew's whole-heartedly agreed was so "constitutionally correct"? Let's get these two together again and have them comment on operation "Odyssey Dawn" in Libya, could we? That would even get me to watch Hardball.

Read It!


The greatest human conflict of all time, also had the greatest stories of the human condition. I've read quite a few books that were written around the personal accounts of heroes and victims, and just ordinary folks caught up in truly extraordinary circumstances.
But none that I've read were as compelling as the story of an American airman and his experience in the Pacific. His story of survival through the crash of his B-24, eight weeks adrift in a life raft and then almost two years in two of the most brutal Japanese POW camps, is a story everyone should read. Do NOT miss it.
