Congress may Rumble over Unemployment Benefits Again
Florida ranks 47th in unemployment and has a state-wide unemployment rate of 11.4 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the Senate bill to extend benefits passes, more than 30 states would qualify for Tier V benefits.
Blagojevich is a Liar says Jury
What do the people have to gain by another Blagojevich media circus? He was forced out of the governor’s office, his political career is ruined and he could serve from one to five years for perjury; it’s time to let it go.

The Republicans may have a right to be upset with Crist, but they do not have a right to punish the people of this state in the process.
Pakistan Change of Strategy is Business as Usual
If Pakistan doesn’t already clearly see the Taliban and al-Qaida as enemies, they never will. America cannot afford to keep handing corrupt governments like Pakistan and Afghanistan a blank check while we have needs at home that go unattended.
