We'd just as soon move past the Clinton years, but if its partisans are going to rewrite history, someone has to keep track of the billing records. Now Senator Clinton has Presidential ambitions, and her memoir is being portrayed as an attempt to clear away the 1990s for her White House run. If she really wants to be trusted in the future, she could start by being more honest about the past.

How the class warfare folks must be loving/hating this. Loving it because the rich are "getting their just desserts" and hating it because that just makes it that much harder (not much at that) to demonize the "evil rich".

Facts About the War

Facts About the War

Commentary

THE GENERAL facts about the recent war are not in much dispute. In a span of about three weeks, the United States military overran a country the size of California. It utterly obliterated Saddam Hussein’s military hardware—tanks, heavy artillery, transport—and tore apart his armies. Of the approximately 110 American deaths in the course of the hostilities, fully a fourth occurred as a result of accidents, friendly fire, or peacekeeping mishaps rather than at the hands of enemy soldiers. The extraordinarily low ratio of total American casualties per number of U.S. soldiers deployed, or of American fatalities per Iraqi soldiers killed, is almost unmatched in modern military history—and an unimaginably long way from the specter of Armageddon offered up by a variety of self-proclaimed experts before the war and during its early days.

WorldNetDaily: Broaddrick details alleged rape by Clinton

"Did you see what happened to Gennifer Flowers," the woman who said in 1992 she was a 12-year lover of Clinton's," asked Broaddrick. "Did you see what happening to Paula Jones," the woman who said Clinton exposed himself to her in an Arkansas hotel.

Broaddrick told Hannity she wasn't afraid of telling the truth. "I just knew what would happen" – meaning, her reputation would be destroyed by the Clinton administration and, to a degree, the mainstream media.

House GOP Ignores Bush on Child Tax Bill (washingtonpost.com)

The uproar over the child tax credit started only after Bush signed the $330 billion tax cut on May 28. That law delivers advance refunds with up to $400 per child this summer to middle-income families. Families that earn between $10,500 and less than $27,000 were cut out of the payments because their tax level is too low to qualify.

In other words, they paid no taxes and therefore should not receive any taxes "back".

The Late Donald Regan on the Bush Tax Cut

OpinionJournal - Featured Article

As I interpret Mr. Bush's tax program, I think I see that he has tried to answer the same three questions that President Reagan always kept in mind--even though the economic problems he faces are different. We are not in a period of inflation. Quite the opposite; inflation and interest rates are at historic lows. We are, however, in the midst of a slow economic recovery, in which jobs are not coming back as quickly as we might have hoped. In fact, the whole economy is changing right before our eyes, and will continue to change. Unskilled or semiskilled jobs are going overseas, and jobs involving knowledge and skill--technology, specialized services, finance, health care, energy, entertainment and communications--are the growth areas here at home.

Teachers group leaks test, undermines Bush initiative - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics

Mr. Imig declined a request from The Times for a list of meeting participants who received the test. Lee S. Shulman, Carnegie's president, said Mr. Imig invited the attendees.

"Those who assembled in Palo Alto were those who constitute the established profession — practitioner representatives, preparers, accreditors, certifiers, funders, representatives of policy-makers, those who prepare the tests, and those who study the profession or professions in general, to talk about the profession and what we can do to strengthen it," Mr. Imig said in an e-mail.

Ken Gullette, director of media relations for ACT, said the testing company investigated the breach but couldn't determine who or how many people took copies of the test. He said the company offered to replace it.
