Is the "Success" of the Surge a Hoax?

Bob Woodward just said that the surge is not the reason things in Iraq have changed on Real Time With Bill Maher. He claims that the real reason things have "improved" in Iraq is due to "top secret" tactics/techniques, etc. He didn't really specify what exactly it was, but quipped that we'll know in 15-20 years. Imagine that. Woodward's new book The War Within apparently details this to some extent.

Free Market Principles Should Be Applied to Political Candidates

This post is directed to my free-market friends. A while back I wrote a post about abolishing the two-party political system in America. The rhetoric may have been a little too 'revolutionary' for those of you with a more conservative approach.

The two major political parties are essentially entrenched monopolies that are exclusive and act as conservative engines. In free-market democracy anyone should be able to run for office, not just the uber wealthy and connected. By limiting ourselves to two parties we are effectively distorting the market for politicians. The entire process should be more open-source and bottom-up than top-down.

The Obama movement and to a lesser extent the Ron Paul movement have shown us how effective grass-roots can be. This approach should be taken further and the process should be opened up, instead of allowing two brands that are both out of touch with the harsh political realities of the 21st century.

Let the market decide who the best candidates are.

Palin Offended by 'bush' Doctrine

Putin Allready Killed Tiger, Says 'Cougar' Palin Next

As Vladimir Putin sat in his satin smoking jacket, puffing on a cigar, and sipping on a glass of straight vodka and watching the RNC on satellite he probably "pu-ted" in his pants after hearing John McCain talk about Russia invading Georgia. He probably muttered something along the lines of "You bunch of cowboys...I told you touch nothing."

McCain had the gusto to say that Russia invaded a smaller nation (Georgia) to secure its oil future. Apparently the bobble-heads at the RNC didn't see a shred of hypocrisy in that statement.

Putin, who by the way killed himself a bear when he was only three recently shot and killed a runaway tiger to send a message to John McCain that he won't be intimidated by a cougar like Palin.
