OBAMA'S SIGNING STATEMENT MADNESS - When a president signs a bill into law he may add a signing statement telling how he intends to implement the law. Obama has made a practice of saying in his signing statements that he intends to ignore provisions in the law.

MORE RELIGION OF PEACE - In the last seven days, Islamic terrorists have murdered innocent civilians in: Afghanistan, China, Chechnya, Dagistan, France, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Ingushetia, Jordan, Pakistan, Somalia, and Thailand.
