Scooter Libby says President Bush leaked classified information to bolster support for War in Iraq. Commander-in-Chief now Leaker-in-Chief?

Know why Tom DeLay avoided service in Vietnam? Said there were so many minority volunteers, there was no room for white guys!

Will reform include a provision that you don't have to press #1 on the telephone to speak English in the United States, an ostensibly English-speaking country?

Proponents of intelligent design want to know when it went missing.
