The Democratic National Convention has opened in Charlotte, N.C., but we won’t be covering it much. Check MSNBC — I’ll bet they have the best coverage.The real news came from places like Pakistan, where a suicide bomb exploded outside the American consulate in Peshawar, killing three people and injuring two Americans.
Or from Russia, where President Vladimir Putin said that the country should look to Stalin’s “Great Leap Forward” of the 1930s as a model for modernizing the defense industry.

Nice! I hope all Russsians are getting ready to starve for their dictator, I am sure they will do so willingly.Not! No doubt Obama if he gets back in will follow suit!
The Republicans said, "We built it!" The Democrats are saying, "No you didn't build it!" Fact of the matter is, God built it, for us, to bring Him glory in our use of what He built to Him.
