The match that will not happen, but will keep Hillary out of the White House. Hillary when compared to the other 99 Senators and other Democrats does not look so bad. But when compared to Laura Bush, she looks shabby and dirty. This will be the comparison that will keep Hillary from winning in 2008. And the great thing is, Laura will not even have to run as a candidate.

Looks as though even Zarqawi admits he was wounded that contradicts some reports that claimed there were no injuries at all.
AP: Iraq’s insurgent terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi purportedly made an audio address to Osama bin Laden on Monday to assure the al-Qaida leader that he was in good health after being wounded in a fire fight with U.S. troops.
“I am sure you have heard through the media that I was wounded and treated in a Ramadi hospital. I would like to assure you and the Muslim nation that these were pure allegations. It was a light wound, thank God. We are back fighting them in the land of the two rivers.”
The speaker addressed the message as “a letter from a soldier on the firing line to his commander.”
The speaker purporting to be al-Zarqawi addressed bin Laden as his “emir,” or commander, asked bin Laden for guidance on conducting the insurgency. He said he sent bin Laden a war plan and asked for comments or approval.
Al-Zarqawi also claimed that his insurgent followers had won this month’s bloody battle against U.S. troops at the town of Qaim near the Syrian border.
“It was one of the greatest battles of Islam,” the speaker said. “We would like to assure you that we are continuing on the path of jihad, we are committed to our pledge. We will either win or die trying.”
Instead of asking Bid Laden for approval maybe Zarqawi should ask the survivors of the many Iraqi Muslim’s families that he has killed? The idea that Zarqawi has now seen fit to justify killing Muslims in his cause is amazing. I had always thought there would eventually be a tipping point with the Iraqi people as they learned to realize that it was Zarqawi rather then the US military who was killing them. The rash of attacks against Iraqi’s recently have only exacerbated the issue.

Publius Pundit is reporting that something may have happened to Chavez.
Has Hugo Chavez had a heart attack? Been done in by an ex-wife? Gotten an offer he can’t refuse from a fed-up military? He’s disappeared, the descamisados are gathering below his balcony, the streets are shut down, and his spokesmen say all is normal. His minions say he will come to the balcony to address the adoring masses soon. Something’s going on.
Could this be the end?
This would be very, very interesting.
But the Jawa Report caught it.
There are many reasons we enjoy blogging. We like to be heard, to have a virtual memory, and the community. I found this article via Terry Storch, it is a great post from D. Keith Robinson titled 13 tips on how to become a more productive blogger that will help me be more productive blogging. Fortunately, we use a few of these tools.
If I am not too modest to enter another category, and I am not, I would recommend this:
If you are a political or news style blogger, find a couple of news sources and watch them on a semi regular basis.
We are big fans of The AP Breaking news and Memeorandum.
