Breaking news tonight on Fox News with the revelation that roughly 500 chemical weapons have been found in Iraq between 2003 to the present day. Apparently, these were part of a classified report that Senator Santorum fought successfully to have declassified and he held a press conferenc this evening to make the announcement of the report. He also appeared on Hannity & Colmes this evening.

WASHINGTON — The United States has found 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003, and more weapons of mass destruction are likely to be uncovered, two Republican lawmakers said Wednesday.

“We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons,” Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said in a quickly called press conference late Wednesday afternoon.

Elite “Townhouse” email list of liberal bloggers kept word of Kos’s pay-for-play scandal from breaking wider, until The New Republic ran the story.

When will they learn that decentralization of power is better… tsk tsk

The Kennedy amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for FY07 that would have raised the minimum wage to $7.25 by 2009 failed 46-52-2 (it would have taken 60 votes to pass).

“Republicans” voting for the proposal were: Chafee, Collins, DeWine, Lugar, Snowe, Specter, and Warner.

The fact that a majority of Senators voted for the proposal is a good reason why it is essential that the GOP retain the House in November, even if it doesn’t deserve to.

I think there’s some stuff wrong with this article, but I wanted to clear up an important factual error.

Clinton, a senator from New York and a former first lady, is considered by many a front-runner for the Democratic nomination in 2008.

Senator? Check. Former first lady? Check. Front-runner in 2008? Check. From New York? Right…. The writer ought to more accurately say she “represents New York in the Senate, despite living in Georgetown. She occassionally shuttles up to Manhattan for fundraisers, and every year deigns to go to the State Fair in Syracuse for an hour or two. This passes for residency.” Of course, that wouldn’t be good copy.

We have no one to blame except ourselves

Is nothing sacred anymore?
