The National Guard story deserves to be examined again and this may be the only way to accomplish that. A lawsuit also gives him that delicious power of discovery. Who knows what might shake loose?
Our lack of attention to international issues could become the prelude to more tragedy around the world. In the next week or so, Uganda will be pulling out all stops to gain a seat on the United Nations Security Council.
If "Dow, 30,000 by 2008: Why It's Different This Time" wasn't optimistic enough, there was David Elias' "Dow 40,000: Strategies for Profiting from the Greatest Bull Market in History."

Fox News' trash-talking, prime-time headliner is little more than an apologist for those in power -- and especially for his boss Rupert Murdoch.
McClellan's criticisms about the media been met with denials from TV news anchors. But Dan Rather offered a strong critique of the journalists' performance in his Saturday speech.
