Pelosi v. CIA

or perhaps Pelosi v. USA. This is just the latest example why the Democrats can't be trusted on National Security. The enemy chops people's heads off and uses people as weapons. Meanwhile the Democrats are motivated to classify waterboarding, sleep deprivation, temperature variations, etc., as torture and prosecute those who worked to keep the country safe. Is Speaker Pelosi's memory so bad that she doesn't remember 9/11? Was that on her notes she was reading from today?

$17 Billion is REAL money?

Not when compared to $3.4 TRILLION, or $3400 Billion. If we were to take a $100 slice of government spending, it would amount to 50 CENTS. We're saving a can of Sam's Club Soda at a Walmart vending machine for every $100 of spending.

To make matters worse, half of these cuts come from the Defense Department even though it only accounts for 20% of the spending. Two things boggle my mind.

1. Why is defense spending ONLY 20% of the federal budget?
2. Why is defense taking the brunt of the cutting during a time when we are fighting 2 wars?

Am I living in a Bizarro world?

Over/Under on Brett Favre

# of Starts for Minnesota this year: 0. It's not 0.5 in Vegas, it's 0.0, and you'd have gotten better Money Line Odds on the Lakers to win Game 2 vs. Houston tonight.

The trouble is that he likely didn't have the surgery that was supposedly necessary after last season's flameout with the Jets. While his record in the Metrodome was horrible in the 90's, he won regularly there once Mike Tice took the reigns. Could he win with the purple jerseys instead of against them? They do have a great running game, so maybe.
