The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s controversial report on the Gulf oil spill was not finished when the White House chose to release it, a government scientist told congressional investigators. The Obama administration hyped the estimates at an Aug. 4

Thus writes Big Peace contributor Dr. James Carafano of the Heritage Foundation: “For those who wish to lead, defense cannot be ignored or even relegated to a second-tier status. Yes, excessive federal spending and a metastasizing deficit are critical issues,
Last Saturday I drove to Long Island, NY to see my friend’s long-awaited performance from the Sinatra songbook at Hofstra University. There were several times during this seven hour drive that I wanted to just turn around and go home.
