Barack Obama’s speech in Berlin, Germany today drew a crowd of “200,000, according to the Obama campaign, which cited local officials.”
He drew warm applause in declaring that the world should be free of nuclear weapons, the war in Iraq should be over, the world should commit to fight global warming, reject torture and welcome immigrants.

I think the most fitting thing to say following up on Stuart’s earlier piece about Nancy Pelosi on Dennis Kucinich presenting a single Article of Impeachment against George W. Bush, to the House of Representatives, is “bring it on.”
I’m one who thinks this is long overdue. Sign Kucinich’s petition here.

On the upside, apparently, one of summer’s favorite, fruity, treats; the watermelon, turns out it’s got some very positive qualities most people never think about.

It’s going to be a wild partying week, with Independence Day coming up on Friday. That means it’s going to be a slow news week. Unfortunately, that does NOT mean that the world will forgo having it’s usual daily nervous breakdown. So, pull up your morning cuppa. It’s time for your [...]

The proposed program would allow FHA to help troubled borrowers reduce their interest rates if the actual lenders went along with a cut in the principal amount of the loan.

I was going to avoid posting about the big Larry Sinclair story today, but it is so incredibly surreal. As Ben Smith noted this morning before his press conference out at the National Press Club eclipsed with his arrest, Larry Sinclair, “is familiar to political junkies and reporters as the source of outlandish allegations about Senator Barack [...]
